SUMMARY:THE HUMAN BEHIND THE ARCHITECT
DESCRIPTION:AIA|LA & SoCal NOMA Present…\nTHE HUMAN BEHIND THE ARCHITECT: Series Kick-off\nStories have been used to share learning and knowledge for thousands of years. A good story engages our curiosity\, emotions\, and imagination. Stories take many forms\, but they usually have some elements in common. Rather than a list of dry facts\, stories have a narrative or sequence that introduces people or characters.\nAIA|LA & SoCal NOMA J.E.D.I. committee invites you to join “The Human Behind the Architect” series to listen to the journey of four local architects. This is not an architectural conversation. Speakers will dive deeper into their journey telling us the challenges that made them the person who they are today.\nWe respond to stories\, particularly when there is emotional detail\, and remember information given in story form much more vividly.  The mission of the J.E.D.I. Committee is to advance issues of justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion in the architecture industry\, and these anecdotes are foundational as we weave the fibers of all of our stories to build the fabric of our field.\n\nWhy attend? \n\nConnect with the human side of architecture.\nDiscover the stories behind the cityscapes you know.\nGain a deeper appreciation for the design process.\nBe inspired by the journeys of fellow creatives.\n\n\n  \n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nAdaeze Cadet\, AIA\, NOMA – Sr. Principal & Design Principal\, HOK\nMichael H.

SUMMARY:Perform or Prescribe: The Great Debate In Building Exterior Design
DESCRIPTION:Perform or Prescribe: The Great Debate In Building Exterior Design\nPresented by the AIA|LA Building Performance & Regulations Committee\n\n\nJoin AIA Los Angeles’ dynamic Building Performance and Regulations team for the second session of a year long conversation on new energy codes and their effect on building systems and envelope design. This session will start with understanding the difference between prescriptive and performance design approaches in the context of meeting code and increasing building sustainability. Listen to Glumac’s experts interpret the evolving codes and their real-world effects on building design. Expand the conversation with your own expertise in a “salon” format conversation that will share our common expertise to advance design in Los Angeles. \nLearning Objectives:\n+ Explain the difference between prescriptive and performance-based criteria for building energy performance and which is right for your project/design\n+  Compare current and anticipated changes in the energy code and how these changes may affect the building envelope and MEP design\n+  Learn how code compares to LEED and AIA 2030\n+ Learn how to balance energy goals with design goals \n\nSPEAKERS:\nMichael J. Adams – Associate / Regional Energy Director\, Glumac \nKyle Hack\, P.E. – Mechanical Engineer\, Glumac \nSPEAKERS:\n \nMichael J. Adams – Associate / Regional Energy Director\, Glumac \nAs Lead Energy Consultant\, Michael manages a team dedicated to modeling building energy performance. Their primary goal is to not only meet but to surpass the stringent criteria established by building rating systems\, state energy codes\, federal building guidelines\, and relevant incentive programs while being cost-effective and meeting project goals. With an eight-year background in sustainable design and construction\, Michael is an invaluable asset when it comes to energy and water efficiency in the built environment while having a thorough understanding of relevant building codes and requirements. He is deeply engaged throughout the design process\, proposing\, analyzing\, and vetting sound recommendations for cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. \n  \n  \n \nKyle Hack\, P.E. – Mechanical Engineer\, Glumac \nWith over a decade of experience in mechanical engineering\, Kyle is a seasoned professional specializing in building design in California. Their expertise lies in creating sustainable and energy-efficient systems\, and ensuring proposed mechanical systems meet code standards while optimizing functionality and comfort for occupants.
