SUMMARY:Spring BCT Programs - via ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Registration is by invitation of the UMASS BCT Program– this program is free and open to the public.\nArchitects who want LUs recorded\, must register and submit the administrative fee. UMass faculty and staff requiring credit register for no fee.\nRegister for all programs here. \nMonday\, March 8 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nBoston’s Big Dig\n1HSW (pending approval)\nDan McNichol\, Journalist & Author\, Spokesperson for the Big Dig \nDan McNichol\, best-selling author and award-winning journalist discusses the nation’s most intriguing\, modern\, urban marvel\, Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol shares how the mega urban project has come to define how we plan\, design\, construct cities in the United States…for better and for worse. The interactive conversation concludes with how The Big Dig\, the current plague and climate change challenge the promise of urbanism in America. For over two decades\, Dan McNichol was the spokesperson for the largest\, most complex highway construction project ever embarked upon in U.S. history: Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol will discuss the management of this mega-public works project\, officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project\, sharing lessons learned as well as describing the civil engineering feats of innovative tunnel designs\, the creation of one of the world’s largest ventilation systems\, and the construction of a cable stayed bridge over the Charles River in Boston. Big Dig’s project management revealing managerial successes and failures of the project’s many “messy complexities.” \nMonday\, March 29 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nBuilding Commissioning; Everything is Connected\n1LU or HSW (pending approval)\nWes Stanhope\, CEM EBCP CCP CPHC\, Founder & CEO Stanhope Developments \nBuildings are comprised of potentially competing system that are expected to work in harmony with each other. Commissioning is a living and adaptive process that can be implemented at any point throughout the lifespan of a building\, ensuring that the building systems are reviewed and tested for optimum performance. Wes will share lessons learned from projects to explain why the most successful building Commissioning starts before design has begun \nMonday\, April 19 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nThe Least Cost Path to a Positive Energy Future\n1HSW (pending approval)\nBill Maclay FAIA \nBill Maclay will share a tested and proven financial methodology\, which demonstrates that positive energy buildings are typically the least cost option on a cash flow basis when compared to fossil fuel code buildings. These projects also accrue long term financial\, social equity\, ecological\, and health benefits. Maclay Architects has developed and successfully used this process for over 12 years to assist owners in evaluating financial performance of positive energy buildings. Commercial\, institutional\, and nonprofit and other residential case studies will illustrate the detailed and interwoven financial/energy analysis process\, metrics\, and templates used to guide positive energy projects from initiation to completion. This includes the design and financial analysis of a net positive energy\, plus carbon storing\, single family home design that meets the current need for cost effective operational and embodied energy buildings and design.

The CMU industry on average uses less cement than ready-mixed concrete\, due to the manufacturing process.. CMU uses a dry-cast\, zero-slump concrete mix\, and its’ unique structure enables us to accelerate CO2 sequestration rates. During this presentation we will cover greenhouse gasses\, climate change scenarios\, and CO2 emission sources. We will discuss climate change solutions including adaptation which includes resiliency. We will discuss mitigation\, and show how we are able to lower embodied carbon during CMU production by implementing breakthrough technology. \nTHIS MONTH:\nA Better Way to Build in the 21st Century\nMonday\, November 2 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1LU\nTedd Benson\, Founder\, and CEO of Bensonwood & Unity Homes \nWhat are the critical ingredients of more enlightened homebuilding? In this presentation\, we’ll discuss the ingredients of a better work culture\, design rules for smart standardization\, energy performance standards that must be normalized\, and why “open building” disentanglement are all critical ingredients of a more enlightened age of homebuilding that will get us to a better future.

The interactive conversation concludes with how The Big Dig\, the current plague and climate change challenge the promise of urbanism in America. For over two decades\, Dan McNichol was the spokesperson for the largest\, most complex highway construction project ever embarked upon in U.S. history: Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol will discuss the management of this mega-public works project\, officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project\, sharing lessons learned as well as describing the civil engineering feats of innovative tunnel designs\, the creation of one of the world’s largest ventilation systems\, and the construction of a cable stayed bridge over the Charles River in Boston. Big Dig’s project management revealing managerial successes and failures of the project’s many “messy complexities.” \nForests\, Forestry & Climate Change\nMonday\, October 5 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1HSW\nRobert Perschel\, Executive Director\, NE Forestry Foundation \nHow we protect and manage our forest base will likely determine if New England can meet its climate goals.  Robert Perschel will speak about the Forest to Cities Climate Challenge\, forestry standards for both storing carbon and producing materials for buildings 6-18 stories tall. \nStrategies to Lower CO2 Emissions Using Concrete Masonry\nMonday\, October 19 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1HSW\nHeidi Jandris\, BArch\, Technical Services\, Jandris Block \nLowering the embodied carbon of our concrete masonry units during production is essential to lowering the overall global warming potential of our products. The CMU industry on average uses less cement than ready-mixed concrete\, due to the manufacturing process.. CMU uses a dry-cast\, zero-slump concrete mix\, and its’ unique structure enables us to accelerate CO2 sequestration rates. During this presentation we will cover greenhouse gasses\, climate change scenarios\, and CO2 emission sources. We will discuss climate change solutions including adaptation which includes resiliency. We will discuss mitigation\, and show how we are able to lower embodied carbon during CMU production by implementing breakthrough technology. \nA Better Way to Build in the 21st Century\nMonday\, November 2 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1LU\nTedd Benson\, Founder\, and CEO of Bensonwood & Unity Homes \nWhat are the critical ingredients of more enlightened homebuilding? In this presentation\, we’ll discuss the ingredients of a better work culture\, design rules for smart standardization\, energy performance standards that must be normalized\, and why “open building” disentanglement are all critical ingredients of a more enlightened age of homebuilding that will get us to a better future.

SUMMARY:Sustainable and High-Performance Facades - ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Register Now! \nThursday\, May 14| 4:00 – 5:15 PM | Zoom | 1 HSW \nSustainable and High-Performance Facades \nThe course will be presented by Ajla Aksamija\, PhD\, LEED AP BD+C\, CDT. Aksamija is an Associate Professor at UMass Amherst and a Building Technology Researcher at Perkins and Will. \nYou be familiar with Prof. Aksamija’s research — see page 7  of our spring newsletter here. \nRegister here \nThis presentation will cover methods for designing sustainable\, high-performance facades\, and the necessary steps in ensuring that the environmental factors and energy-efficiency strategies are integrated with the design process. The facade is one of the most significant contributors to the energy budget and the comfort parameters of any building. High-performance facades need to block adverse external environmental effects and maintain internal comfort conditions with minimum energy consumption\, and the location and climate become one of the crucial factors in selecting appropriate design strategies. \n The platform will be Zoom. Registrants will be provided with the login info.  Register here
