When these projects create new housing from underused or empty commercial buildings\, it’s a win-win: \n+ Major embodied carbon benefits for greenhouse gas emission reductions\n+ Urban revitalization and economic development\n+ Housing in locations where it’s critically needed \nThere are five different compliance paths that California architects have available for work on existing buildings. This program will provide a high-level overview of all code options\, insights\, and information to make an informed code choice. It will also provide a deep dive into the Work Area Methodology\, new to California as of July 1\, 2024. Join architect Michael F. Malinowski\, FAIA for this fast-paced exploration of code choices and nuanced differences and learn about factors that can lead you to a code ‘best fit’ for your next existing building adventure. \nSpeaker: \nMichael F. Malinowski\, FAIA – Principal\, Applied Architecture Inc. \n \nMichael F. Malinowski\, FAIA – Principal\, Applied Architecture Inc. \n\nConsultant to AIA California in regulatory and code matters. Recent work has included the successful implementation of the FIRST Embodied Carbon mandatory measures effective July 2024 in CA; expansion of California’s Existing Building Code with seven new chapters including the first CA adoption of the Work Area Method\, effective July 2024; and collaboration with many dozens of stakeholder state agencies\, local governments and building officials; nonprofit and individual subject matter experts; and AIACA’s 11\,000 design professional members who shape most of California’s built environment. \nPrincipal of Applied Architecture Inc. in Sacramento with 44 years of experience in historic adaptive reuse and residential projects at all scales. \nCurrent (and former) member of AIA National Code Committee\, and two-term former member of the ICC Existing Building Code Committee; founder and president of the nonprofit Streamline Institute\, which advances regulatory efficiency and effectiveness around the country; former president of AIA CA\, AIA Central Valley; Sacramento’s Development Oversight Commission\, Preservation Commission\, Design Review Commission\, and other organizational leadership and honors. \n  \n\nLearning Objectives:  2.0 AIA LU/HSW \n\nUnderstand why existing building reuse and retrofit are essential climate action strategies\nRecognize the various code compliance options for an existing building retrofit/reuse project in California and factors that can influence design professional choice\nUnderstand how to use the CEBC’s new work area method for code compliance\nReview case study examples of commercial-to-housing adaptive reuse and code issues that need to be considered\n\nREGISTER HERE on the AIA Long Beach/ South Bay Website
