SUMMARY:Existing Buildings: Getting to Success with the Building Code Including the new CEBC Work Area Method
DESCRIPTION:Join us at lunchtime during the International Code Council Conference\, Expo + Hearings in Long Beach – program venue just around the corner! \nIn-person at rdc. / Studio One Eleven \nBring your own brown bag lunch! \nAIA Members FREE | Non-members $25 \nREGISTER HERE on the AIA Long Beach/ South Bay Website \nDescription: \nReuse and retrofit of existing buildings is a key climate action strategy. 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

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Energy Decarbonization Blueprint (Hybrid - Virtual OR Live)
DESCRIPTION:An email confirmation with the Zoom Link will be sent to each registrant 24 hours prior to the event. \n  \nSLIDES\nUtilizing four case studies\, this course explores how to create a new blueprint for energy decarbonization that aligns with the changing electric grid. An overview of energy infrastructure changes that are taking place in the state of California will be provided alongside how these changes impact the types of building systems being considered for a multi-family building\, a school\, a healthcare project\, and an office building. The course will explore the carbon impacts of each case study\, both today and in the future as the electric grid continues to decarbonize utilizing expected average carbon emissions for 2030 and 2050. \nSpeaker:\n \nRich Peske\nEnergy Project Manager\, Willdan\nRich Peske is an Energy Project Manager at Willdan with over 25 years’ experience in architecture and sustainability\, and a diverse portfolio of work across the United States and in Canada. As an energy consultant with a keen interest in high performance and costeffective design\, he collaborates with project teams to optimize building performance and reduce carbon emissions using a variety of comparative\, analysis-based methods. Rich is a frequent presenter on topics related to energy efficiency\, carbon reduction\, and energy analysis at AIA and other industry events as well as directly to architecture firms. \n\nLearning Objectives:\n\nThe entire course and learning objectives are centered around energy efficiency and carbon neutral design.\nIdentify how the decarbonization of the CA electric grid impacts the built environment.\nDescribe challenges and opportunities in decarbonizing typical project types from an energy standpoint.\nDescribe the difference in decarbonization impacts between today’s grid and the expected grid in 2030 and 2050.
