SUMMARY:Santa Monica Mass Timber Accelerator Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: KTGY \nClick here for Ticket Purchase Instructions & Support. \nEVENT DETAILS\nThe City of Santa Monica is excited to partner with AIA|LA to host a Mass Timber Accelerator that will support architects and developers in building expertise in mass timber design and construction. Join us on March 10th to learn more about the accelerator program\, the benefits of participating\, and ask questions you may have about the program before you apply! \nThe accelerator is accepting applications to participate through March 31st. Once accepted into the accelerator participants will receive technical assistance from WoodWorks as well as a financial award from the City of Santa Monica. To review application instructions and learn more about the accelerator visit Santa Monica’s mass timber accelerator webpage here.” \n  \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO TO VIEW THE YOUTUBE PRESENTATION.\n\nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE APPLICATION GUIDE PDF.\n  \nSPEAKER\n \nPeter Roquemore – Sustainability Analyst\, City of Santa Monica \nPeter Roquemore is a Sustainability Analyst in the City of Santa Monica’s Office of Sustainability & the Environment. Peter leads the City’s work on developing policies to reduce embodied carbon and supports the City in meeting the goals of the City’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan. Peter received his Masters in Urban & Regional Planning from UCLA. \n \nSophia Smith — Mass Timber Business Development & Sales – USA \nSophia Smith works at the intersection of design\, engineering\, construction\, and manufacturing to advance the use of mass timber in the built environment. At Kalesnikoff\, she collaborates with project teams across the United States to align structural systems with vertically integrated timber supply and off-site manufacturing strategies. Sophia previously led project management for the first mass timber multifamily housing development in Los Angeles County and continues to support teams implementing mass timber across a range of project types.\n\n\n  \n\n\nMark Aden\, PE\, SE\, LEED AP Principal\n\nMark Aden has established a reputation for designing innovative and cost-effective structures that incorporate the latest in construction technology. He has been responsible for the structural design of a wide variety of private and public projects\, including high-rise buildings\, long-span structures\, and multi-story parking structures. Mark’s over 30 years of design experience with all types of construction materials has produced award-winning projects throughout the United States\, along with projects in places like Puerto Rico\, Hawaii\, and Guam. \n  \n\nMODERATOR\n \nMark Oberholzer\, AIA – KTGY \nContext is everything. In cities like Los Angeles\, context includes not just existing buildings and neighborhoods\, but an emerging sense of urban identity and possibility. Mark Oberholzer’s strength is engaging with the context of client goals\, zoning complexity\, urban design\, stakeholder influences\, economic imperatives and design integrity to tease out extraordinary architectural solutions. \nOver the last five years\, Mark has been at the forefront of KTGY’s expertise in innovative construction techniques – harnessing the design possibilities of modular construction\, bearing steel stud systems\, and heavy timber. Mark sees construction technology as another part of the design context\, bringing a conviction that collaboration\, imagination\, hard work\, and a sense of humor are the best tools to reach the goal of better design. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CEU Event - Heat Pump Technology
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\nFactory Tour and CEU Event for architects. AMPAM will also have appetizers and drinks at the event along with AMPAM team members to answer any questions people may have from a subcontractor’s perspective on design building multifamily project. \n  \n**Special Note: After registering on our site\, please RSVP to Rose Galapon by clicking here and let her know if you have any severe dietary restrictions or need any special accommodation. \n  \nSPEAKER \n \nDon Strickland\, FA SPE\, CPD\, GPD – Mega Western Sales \nDon brings over 33 years of industry experience to the Mega Western team. He has been a member of ASPE for over 28 years and has served on multiple Society boards. He has obtained his Certified in Plumbing Design (CPD) credential and Green Plumbing Design (GPD) certificate through the American Society of Plumbing Engineers and IAPMO. Don was inducted into theAmerican Society of Plumbing Engineers – College of Fellows (FASPE) in 2018. \nHis expertise and strengths range from conceptual to implementation in project engineering. Don is experienced with commercial\, multi-family\, industrial\, retail\, education\, corrections\, sports arenas\, pharmaceutical\, healthcare clients\, and other various building types. He provides knowledge in design\, engineering\, and construction oversight of plumbing applications. \nDon’s experience and extensive knowledge will continue our focus on education and on assisting our engineering\, contractor\, and end-user customers with product selection and design. \n \nDavid Kelly\, Specification Specialist III\, Rheem Commercial Water – West Region \nDavid Kelly joined Rheem Commercial Water in June 2021 as the Sr. Specification Specialist bringing with him over a decade of plumbing industry experience. Prior to joining Rheem\, David served as a Sr. Estimator where he developed an understanding of commercial plumbing systems\, offering tailored solutions to meet diverse needs. Known for combining technical expertise with innovative design\, David has successfully worked on numerous projects\, optimizing energy efficiency and ensuring long-lasting performance in the water heating space. As a Specification Specialist\, David and his team stay ahead of industry trends\, continually enhancing designs to accommodate modern technological advancements and practices. \n  \nAIA CES: 1 LU|HSW Approved \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nParticipants will be able to explain how heat pump systems function\, including the thermodynamic principles that enable heat transfer and their relevance to building energy performance and occupant comfort. \nParticipants will be able to differentiate between single-pass and multi-pass heat pump systems and evaluate the implications of each approach on energy efficiency\, water use\, system longevity\, and overall building performance. \nParticipants will be able to identify and describe the primary components of heat pump systems and assess how component selection and configuration affect reliability\, maintenance\, and indoor environmental quality. \nParticipants will be able to calculate and evaluate achievable system efficiencies under varying operational conditions\, interpreting performance metrics to support energy-conscious design decisions. \nParticipants will be able to apply appropriate sizing methodologies for heat pump systems and analyze common system challenges related to load calculations\, building type\, and scale to ensure safe\, effective\, and code-compliant installation. \n  \nPARKING \nOur office has parking\, free of charge. \n  \nTICKET PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONS & SUPPORT\n\n*Note to all registrants: When purchasing a ticket\, please double check that the address + zip code that you provide matches the billing information on the card you are using.* \nTo purchase a ticket\, please select the quantity of tickets you want next to the proper ticket tier using the + sign\, and then select “Get Tickets.” \n  \n\nThank you to our sponsor!\n \n  \n
