SUMMARY:A Pattern Language from Passive House
DESCRIPTION:AIA Canada is excited to to partner with Passive House Canada to offer this four-part course to AIA members. Get your 12 AIA credits with 12 HSW to satisfy your annual credit requirements before the end of the year! \nCourse Title: A Pattern Language from Passive House \nProvider Name: AIA Canada Society \nProvider Number:  100100113 \nCourse Fee: $700 \n(AIA members get 10% discount with code AIAPL39#) \nCourse Description: \nThis is an interactive workshop that teaches cost-effective planning and design of affordable\, low-emission\, mid-rise\, multi-unit\, wood-framed housing. This four-part workshop presents design problems common to multi-unit buildings\, followed by solutions that have worked in previous high-performance projects. These solutions are organized into “patterns” using a format adapted from A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander (et al). The patterns presented in this workshop are drawn from the hundreds of affordable multi-unit buildings constructed to the Passive House standard worldwide\, because this is the largest cohort of affordable\, low-emission\, mid-rise\, multi-unit housing. While these solutions are taken from Passive House buildings\, they are applicable for residential building design to meet Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code\, as well as multi-unit buildings aiming for similar low-TEDI or not-zero energy standards. Likewise\, while this workshop focuses on affordable housing\, the patterns apply equally to market- and luxury-housing projects. RDH is consulting to or certifying more than six million square feet of Passive House. The course is an attempt to condense what we have learned from those projects\, with a focus on how to construct multi-family passive house for less. \nCourse #1 Context and Form | Wednesday\, 9 Nov 2022 | 9-noon PDT | Course Number 2022AIACS08 | 3 AIA LU/3 HSW\nLearning Objective 1: \nLearn about the background and introduction to the book “A Pattern Language” and its history. \nLearning Objective 2: \nExplore current constraints; wood-frame\, mid-rise\, multi-unit; role of pre-design planning. \nLearning Objective 3: \nGain knowledge of the international Passive House standard and its relationship with Step Code and other standards. \nLearning Objective 4: \nAcquire awareness of key concepts and roles in architecture for the Anthropocene: Adaptation\, Mitigation\, Urbanization\, and Affordability. \nCourse #2 Materials and Assemblies | Wednesday\, 16 Nov 2022 | 9-noon PDT | Course Number 2022AIACS09 | 3 AIA LU/3 HSW\nLearning Objective 1: \nExplore the effects of building emissions and how to mitigate them (embodied carbon vs. operational emissions vs. energy efficiency). \nLearning Objective 2: \nLearn about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling including monthly and hourly energy models. \nLearning Objective 3: \nDiscuss the impact of thermal bridging on large buildings\, how passive house and Step 4 count thermal bridging. \nLearning Objective 4: \nUnderstand key milestones in Passive House multi-family projects. \nLearning Objective 5: \nUnderstand how FORM FACTOR affects cost and performance of Passive House buildings. \nCourse #3 Windows and Overheating | Wednesday\, 23 Nov 2022 | 9-noon PDT | Course Number 2022AIACS10 | 3 AIA LU/3 HSW\nLearning Objective 1: \nLarge buildings and solar gains.

SUMMARY:London 2022 Conference: Transformations
DESCRIPTION:The AIA International Conference\, in partnership with AIA UK and AIA Continental Europe\, is coming to London\, and registration is now open! \nBook by 31 JULY to take advantage of our Early Bird discounts! \nWhen: Thursday Sept 29 – Sunday Oct 2\, 2022 \nWhere: London \nCES Credits – Estimated total 19 LU for AIA Members \nLEARN MORE >>> \nDescription \nOn behalf of AIA International\, AIA UK and AIA Continental Europe are organising a 3-day international conference in London. The conference will open with a tour of the Design Museum\, followed by a reception at Japan House on Thursday\, September 29th and will follow with 3 full days of talks and tours from Sept 30th to October 2\, 2022. \nEntitled ‘Transformations’\, we will take a look at the changes that have happened in London since the conference in 2014. Each day of the conference will be held in a different location and will look at the transformation of old into new\, through master plans\, buildings\, public space\, the urban campus\, historic buildings\, sustainability\, innovations in housing and explorations of colour. \nWe thought it would be appropriate to begin this conference where we started the last\, at London’s Kings Cross. The transformative development has continued at speed over the last 8 years. We will then move onto Camden to explore the Hawley Wharf Masterplan. Saturday will focus on the Aldwych Quarter and LSE Campus; hidden in plain sight\, the developments in this area have strengthened the cultural and educational programmes through a strong commitment to the urban realm\, design\, regeneration\, and the repurposing of historic buildings. Sunday we will look at innovations in housing\, cultural buildings\, and explorations in colour. Participants will enjoy talks\, tours\, and a Gala dinner boat ride on the Thames. \n  \nImage: Hawley Wharf by AHMM
