This session will provide a foundational understanding of sustainability principles in architecture, emphasizing how to conduct precise environmental assessments. Attendees will learn about critical analyses, including radiation, wind, energy, daylighting, and shadow studies. By the end of this session, participants will have a robust understanding of how these assessments can be interpreted and applied to implement effective design strategies that enhance building performance and sustainability.

Essentials of Sustainability: Comprehensive Environmental Assessments

December 19th, 2024 at 12pm ET

A building's energy use refers to the energy required to operate and sustain the project once it's occupied. The metric commonly used to measure this is Energy Use Intensity (EUI). By calculating the energy a building consumes annually, architects can better predict the project's utility costs, which are directly linked to the building's energy consumption. This session will explain how architects can use comprehensive energy reports to understand how EUI can reduce the carbon footprint of their projects.

Understanding and Reducing Energy Use Intensity (EUI) for Sustainable Building Design

January 9th, 2025 at 12pm ET

This course presents architects with the challenge of understanding how a wide array of parameters, including energy, cost, daylight, and glare, can impact a project. In this session, we will cover how to interpret daylighting, glare, and energy reports to drive sustainability initiatives forward and foster better client relationships using clear and actionable insights. The program will include real-world case studies and demonstrate the practical applications of these studies in design.

This session will delve into the concept of embodied carbon, an essential yet often overlooked component of a building's overall carbon footprint. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of embodied carbon and its critical role in sustainable architecture today. The session will use case studies to explain how changes to raw materials, transportation methods, and manufacturing processes can play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions.
