SUMMARY:Living Future Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Meeting the Moment in Community (Part 3)\nJoin the virtual BE+ Living Future Roundtable\, a venue for architects\, designers\, construction managers\, and sustainability professionals to discuss topics and issues related to International Living Future Institute (ILFI) programs. \nRelationships are the foundation of our work\, shaping not only how value is created\, but what we choose to value. No business\, technology\, or practice exists in isolation; each is held within a web of relationships that ultimately determines its impact. \nThis roundtable invites participants into a guided\, participatory conversation exploring our roles as individuals\, organizations\, and an industry within these interconnected systems. We will explore three real-world examples: natural building practices (individual)\, a collaboration among multiple panelization fabricators (organizational)\, and the development of a cross-industry bio-based materials network (industry). From this framing\, we will trace how relationships evolve across scales and influence the systems we are actively shaping. \nTogether\, we will explore what it means to cultivate “right relationship” with ourselves\, each other\, our tools and technologies\, and the broader social and ecological systems in which we operate. In doing so\, we will surface pathways to expand our collective impact while maintaining the integrity and coherence needed to reimagine the built environment. \nJacob Deva Racusin is Co-Founder and Director of Building Science and Sustainability with New Frameworks\, Vermont-based worker-owned cooperative. As a consultant\, designer\, and educator\, Jacob merges his passions for ecological stewardship\, relationship to place\, and social justice. Jacob is Senior Research and Innovation Advisor with Builders For Climate Action. Jacob has authored two books and numerous articles\, and instructs and consults on topics of building science and climate impact. An active member of the Carbon Leadership Forum Boston Hub and founding member of the Bio-Based Materials Collective\, Jacob is engaged in code and policy development\, professional training\, and other initiatives supporting the transition to a more just industry. \nReach out to livingfuture@builtenvironmentplus.org with any inquiries\, questions\, or concerns. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Roundtables are FREE for Built Environment Plus Members. \nNew to the Roundtables?

It can also be used to analyze risk of condensation or mold growth on an interior surface at a thermally bridged condition. \nThis 10-hour live\, virtual course will provide students with the tools needed to assess for moisture risk at tricky details in both the opaque enclosure and for fenestration. Students will: \n– Learn the fundamentals of thermal bridges– Understand how and why they’re calculated– Be able to quantify the linear heat transfer at component connection details\, analyze those results\, and iterate to improve the detail– Create a thermal bridge report that could be used in a Phius Project Certification submission. \nFocused on application\, students will come away from this training with a step-by-step guide to review and troubleshoot calculated details confidently. \nLearn more about THERM here. Once registered\, you will be sent a link to download the tool. If you already have the software\, be sure to check course materials to ensure your version is appropriate for the course. \nBackground knowledge on thermal bridging and thermal bridge modeling is not required\, but recommended and can be provided at no cost as supplemental pre-course materials. \nTrainees may be eligible to earn 10 Phius Continuing Education Units and 10 AIA Learning Units. \nThis is a live\, online training led by Phius instructors. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1.
