AIA CA Climate Action Webinar: Designing for Zero Net Carbon

April 13, 2022 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

AIA CA Climate Action Webinar: Designing for Zero Net Carbon
3 Case Studies, All Electric Buildings

Date/Time: Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 11:30 a.m. -1 p.m., Pacific Time
Learning Units: 1.5 LU | HSW
 
Speakers:
Edward Dean, FAIA LEED AP BD+C, PhD, Principal | Bernheim + Dean, Inc Sustainable Building Consultants
 
Description:
Edward Dean, FAIA, will present case studies of three common building types, designed as all-electric buildings to achieve zero-net-energy performance, that will operate with zero-carbon emissions once the California electric grid has been 100% decarbonized, currently scheduled for 2045. This program will review the design strategies for each project, discuss the readily available all-electric building systems utilized by the design teams and present measured post-occupancy performance data that supports the achievement of ZNE. Mr. Dean will discuss tools, metrics, and modeling used by the design team in pursuit of the performance goals, and will highlight exemplary features of the various projects, discuss problems encountered and lessons learned that can help other practitioners to achieve similar levels of performance in their own projects.
