New Directions, New Careers in Sustainable Design
2.0 AIA LU-HSW/PDH / GBCI / LA CES
Douglas P. Casper, AIA, LEED AP
AIA 158SUSA
USGBC 90005477
9:00 am 11:00 am
We are experiencing a period of unprecedented change, unknown for many years. As we realize a more desperate need to change our ways, as a response to diminishing resources and the growing global warming problem new, innovative career paths are opening up in the construction industry.
This presentation will look at the how, why, and wherefore of sustainable design, building a case for major change NOW! Positive approaches being initiated in various parts of the world will be explored, with an eye to specific career paths that are relevant to design & construction professionals.
Mastering Healthy Materials Selection for Green Buildings
2.0 AIA LU-HSW/PDH / LA CES
Bill Walsh
Founder and President of the Board of Directors
Healthy Building Network
AIA 406HEA
11:00 am 1:00 pm
Since the beginning of the USGBC and before, experts have striven to develop a sensible way to deal with toxic materials. More recently, several major organizations have attempted to deal with the issue. It was not until a special convergence of events took place several years ago that this new methodology was able to come into existence. In essence, Bill Walsh and his Healthy Buildings Network, was able to partner with one of the top 5 companies in the world, namely Google, and develop a workable system of materials classification and analysis that is now starting to gain traction partly due to the fact that it is being required/ accepted by major authorities involved in the code-making/enforcement process, such as Enterprise Green Communities and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
State and local building code compliance issues will be discussed, as well. This session will review examples of recently completed installations and their associated results.
Part B - Wednesday April 21, 2021
