SUMMARY:Building & Construction Technology Programs
DESCRIPTION:Spring BCT Lectures – Hybrid\nAll programs are Mondays from 4:00 -5:15 pm EST\nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here \nIntroduction to Lean Project Delivery\nMonday February 12| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1HSW (approval pending)\nLean construction is all about efficiency. Manufacturers and construction firms care about it because it has the potential to save firms time and money. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Lean Project Delivery and discuss why it’s needed\, review the goals and benefits of implementation\, and explore the shift in thinking and behaviors for lean practices to be successful. Presented by: Kate​ Simons\, Senior Preconstruction Manager at DOC \nEvolution of Carbon Accounting Tools Over a Decade\nMonday April 8| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW (approval pending)\nIn the 2000s\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) emerged as a pivotal concept\, significantly influencing the development of building carbon accounting tools. The field of carbon accounting tools is dynamic\, with new tools being developed and existing ones evolving. This dynamism\, however\, has often made choosing carbon accounting tools challenging\, primarily due to factors such as the complexity of the tools themselves and the diverse needs of users. In her presentation\, Ph.D. Candidate Diana Brito will share her experiences using various tools\, providing examples that offer valuable insights.\nNOTE – for those looking for more detailed information on using carbon tools in professional practice – sign up for WMAIA’s spring COTE series focusing on Embodied Carbon here \n Don’t Do Stupid Things\nMonday May 6| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW (approval pending)\nFocus on failures related to materials\, systems\, and assemblies that have led to mold\, rot\, decay\, and corrosion in commercial and residential buildings.  Issues covered will include the stack effect\, over ventilation\, under ventilation\, poor water management\, EIFS\, stucco\, negative air pressures\, vapor barriers in the wrong place\, green roofs\, and COVID recommendations from the CDC. Presented by: JOSEPH LSTIBUREK\, B.A.Sc.\, M.Eng.\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, is the founding principal of Building Science Corporation and an ASHRAE Fellow. \nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here
