High Performance and Lower Impact: How LCAs and EPDs are Driving Decarbonization in the Built Environment

Building professionals can reduce their projects’ carbon footprint by better understanding energy use and environmental impact throughout a building’s lifecycle. Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), set by international standards, allow architects and design professionals to evaluate the carbon output of their building through results published in third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). LCAs and EPDs pave the way for architects and building professionals to make strategic early design decisions to reduce a building’s overall environmental impact.

In this webinar, hear panelists present on the process of developing an LCA for a corporate campus and report on LCA findings from a mass timber project. Presentations will be followed by a moderated Q+A.

Accelerate, Improve BPM Specification Share via AIA – MasterSpec®

Webinar Description:

Using MasterSpec® to deliver Basis of Design content and documentation and accelerate the BPM process.

MasterSpec® allows designers, architects, and engineers to select expertly written specification content for thousands of products without having to waste time writing detailed explanations that already exist. Subscribers to MasterSpec® can pick and choose the Basis of Design content and documentation needed for their project and accelerate the process on MasterSpec®. To help designers with a specification description that fully explains their products and how they should be installed, among other details, you can provide complete product specification entries via Product MasterSpec. The AIA sections available there help designers quickly add necessary descriptions, specs and easily access CAD files and PDF drawings when specifying BPM products, providing them with a tool that saves them time and money.

Manufacturers have always struggled with how to get their products specified consistently and reliably. But their individual guide specifications typically don’t have the necessary depth of content. Now that AIA – MasterSpec® has come along, they will have a specification tool that design professionals will be able to recognize instantly because it is written by MasterSpec professionals who know what kind of information an architect needs and wants in a specification.

MasterSpec® is a respected brand among architects, engineers, and specifiers
Leverage a pre-edited spec to describe the unique attributes of your product
Get the right information in front of the right people at the right time
Get up-to-date product information in front of architects, engineers, and specifiers
MasterSpec®, the most comprehensive master guide specification system available, is used by members of the Architectural & Engineering (A/E) Community to create project specifications.

MasterSpec® is a product of the American Institute of Architects and is developed and published exclusively by Deltec.

Implementing Proper Indoor Air Hygiene to Create Safer, More Productive Indoor Spaces

Webinar Description:

Reopening buildings during the pandemic can be difficult as there are lots of situational decisions to be made and often a limited budget. How do you actually implement the building reopening steps from ASHRAE? What if you cannot meet the requirements due the current state of existing equipment or back ordered products? How do you make sure you are providing the best indoor air hygiene (IAH) to occupants within budget and without affecting comfort or equipment performance? Come learn from our industry experts who will walk through how to correctly and effectively apply various technologies to enhance the performance of existing equipment and improve IAH. This webinar will highlight what you are likely to find in a commercial building, what decisions need to be made for immediate reopening, as well as for long term resiliency of the building thereby future proofing it for unexpected events. Along the way our industry experts will address current market availability of products, tips and tricks they use to make decisions, product best practices, and how to select the right technology for the job. The experts represent four different manufacturers with four different technologies: filtration, UVC, energy recovery, and space conditioning, which are all part of the Madison Indoor Air Hygiene initiative. The Madison IAH initiative (https://www.filtrationgroup.com/) and Madison Indoor Air Quality (https://madisoniaq.com/) to leverage the diverse expertise and products that are part of the Madison Industries family of companies to deliver the highest quality of air and comfort possible. This webinar will focus on indoor air hygiene and will not address surface disinfection or social distancing; however, these should be included in any building reopening plan.

Topics to be covered:

How to increase filtration in a typical building by utilizing existing equipment and portable units.
Making mechanical changes to heating/cooling/dehumidification equipment to ensure comfort with increased filtration and ventilation.
Best practices for energy plates and wheels to minimize cross contamination while maintaining high ventilation rates.
Where to locate and properly apply UVC technologies for maximum efficacy and safety.
