SUMMARY:The Climate Imperative - AIA's Urgent Move Towards Environmental Stewardship
DESCRIPTION:Unequaled in AIA’s 162 year history\, The Big Move for Environmental Sustainability resolution passed at the 2019 annual business meeting represents a “dramatic and unprecedented change in focus.” In conjunction with what the AIA has informally nicknamed the Big Move Toward Environmental Stewardship\, the resolution marks a bold step forward in positioning the architectural profession as key leaders for climate action. It outlines three key areas: declare an urgent climate imperative for carbon reduction; transform the day-to-day practice of architects to achieve a zero-carbon\, equitable\, resilient and healthy built environment; and leverage support of peers\, clients\, policy makers\, and the public at large. \nWhile sustainability is a complex subject\, even for those whose expertise brings them neck deep in it\, AIANC has prepared a program which provides the context and describes the transformation that is necessary for architects to take a leadership role in addressing the Climate Imperative. The Climate Action Plan reiterates our commitment to designing a sustainable\, healthy and equitable world. \nWebinar will be presented by Richard Alsop\, Jr. AIA\, AIA North Carolina Director of Advocacy. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nOverview of the scope of the Climate Crisis\, the impact already evident and the risks it poses in the immediate future to all of our living systems including the way we design and construct buildings to combat further impact on our environment.\nReview of the recently released US Federal Government Climate Report called “The National Climate Assessment of Impacts\, Risks\, and Adaptation in the United States” and how it parallels the AIA program and how it affects current building codes and energy codes across North Carolina and the United States.\nA detailed look at AIA’s program on “The Big Move Toward Environmental Sustainability” This includes a review of the Committee on the Environment’s (COTE) Framework for Design Excellence and tools for architects to use for their projects in support of the resolution on climate.\nReview of programs\, codes\, and tools to support architects as they adapt their professional practices to the ever-evolving challenges posed by Climate Change.

SUMMARY:High Performance & Resilient Precast Educational Facilities
DESCRIPTION:*1 HSW*\nHOSTED BY:  The Regional Chapters of PCI  \nSPONSORED BY:  Georgia/Carolinas PCI \nPRESENTED BY:  Peter Finsen\, FPCI\, Assoc. AIA\nExecutive Director & CEO of Georgia/Carolinas PCI \nDescription:\nThe evolving construction industry\, recent code changes\, increasing sustainability requirements and challenging economy are just some of the factors increasing demand for safe\, healthy\, high performance educational facilities. Today’s schools are more than just buildings; they are interactive learning environments. They are gathering places. They are safe havens for the community. This presentation will discuss recommendations on how to design and build high performance\, sustainable and resilient schools\, with reduced life-cycle costs. The benefits of prefabrication and off-site construction will be identified in the context of precast/prestressed concrete architectural and structural building solutions. And case studies will highlight high performance attributes –  including optimization of numerous versatile\, efficient and resilient building applications.\nLearning Objectives:\n1.  Define high performance structures and identify key attributes and benefits of high performance and sustainable learning environments educational facilities.\n2.  Explain basic approaches to high performance and resilient school design using precast concrete.\n3.  Promote the concept of functional resilience and its importance in educational facilities.\n4.  Learn how prefabricated\, integrated architectural and structural precast concrete design solutions contribute to life safety features including: fire safety\, storm resistance\, acoustics and indoor air quality.\n5.  Share how off-site construction and prefabricated manufacturing with natural\, low-embodied energy materials contribute to life cycle design\, accelerate construction\, reduce site disturbance and waste\, reduce transportation of materials and provide easier coordination of trades.\n6.  Describe concepts to control cost and quality\, reduce maintenance\, and meet sustainable design goals.
