May qualify for learning hours through most Canadian architectural associations
This webinar is part of the Mastering Movement Academy.
Through case studies and examples of new product technology, this webinar will explore recent innovations in sustainable design. Speakers will discuss how material specification can greatly impact embodied and occupied carbon reduction, conserve natural resources and protect ecosystems, reduce waste through recycling and efficient design, and improve occupant well-being (IAQ). This AIA-approved CEU will provide practical and “boots on the ground” examples of how architects and designers can support the sustainable goals of clients, as well as go above and beyond the call to create a statement of sustainability for their firm.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how sustainable design can impact both the planet and health and well-being of occupants.
- Explore examples of reducing embodied and occupied carbon loads on commercial buildings through thoughtful material specification.
- Discuss the benefits to clients, visitors, and the community when commercial buildings are designed with a specific sustainable goal threshold.
- Evaluate how lifecycle thinking, and material optimization is used to design more sustainable buildings.
