Carbon Reduction through Building Electrification – Part 1: All Electric Design & Construction Series
On the path to Zero Net Carbon Design, building electrification is the key to reducing operational carbon. In this course, we’ll share the nuts and bolts of incorporating all-electric systems into residential and small commercial projects, including tips for implementation as well as client communication.
Practical Ways to Address Embodied Carbon
Embodied Carbon, the term that identifies the collective impacts of extracting, manufacturing and transporting building materials, is appearing on everything from requests for proposals to the next round of the building code. In this course we’ll provide practical approaches to reducing embodied carbon in residential and commercial projects.
Using Life Cycle Assessment & Embodied Carbon Calculators to Make Design and Product Choices
This hands-on training will equip participants with the practical knowledge and skills to leverage Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools and embodied carbon (EC) calculators in the architectural design and construction process. The course will guide attendees through each phase of a project, from conceptual design to the as-built stage, highlighting the application and benefits of different LCA tools like EPIC, Tally, and EC3.
Zero Net Carbon Design : Regenerative Design in Practice
The Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy, water-savings as energy-savings, embodied carbon, and finally regenerative design.
Reducing Embodied Carbon: Zero Net Carbon Design Series
The Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy, water-savings as energy-savings, embodied carbon, and finally regenerative design.
Addressing the Energy Water Nexus: Zero Net Carbon Design Series
The Zero Net Carbon Design (ZNCD) Series, will begin with the background and an overview of carbon in the building industry, then focus content on energy performance and renewable energy, water-savings as energy-savings, embodied carbon, and finally regenerative design.
Zero Net Carbon Design Series – Class 2: Energy Performance for ZNC Operations
Developed for Central Coast and Ventura Region International Code Council (ICC) Members, this course provides an overview of the 2022 Title 24 Energy Code changes for Multi Family (new, additions and alterations) for code officials, building safety, and building department staff. We’ll provide examples of implementation and highlight key strategies for a smooth plan review and acceptance process.
Zero Net Carbon Design Series – Class 1: Targeting Zero Net Carbon Design
How do we move beyond “zero net energy” to a true zero net carbon? This course provides an overview of carbon’s role in the building industry, the key drivers for targeting reductions, and an overall approach to evaluating both embodied and operational carbon.
