A sustainable path forward - Embodied carbon and EPDs

08:05 AM - 09:05 AM

Along with energy conservation measures, sustainability trends are continuously becoming more robust with a high focus on carbon emissions, product transparency and resiliency. Importantly, building professionals must commit to creating spaces that encompass appropriate measures for the health, safety and welfare (HSW) of building occupants. This course will analyze these measures and relate them to overall durability, energy efficiency, lifecycle performance and human productivity.  These topics will be explored within the infrastructure of several green building metrics such as LEED, Living Building Challenge, as well as simple good green building practices when not pursuing a green building certification.  Within these strategies, the course will integrate local sustainability initiatives and will translate these trends and best practices into user-friendly tools that can be applied to future projects.

Materials Transparency from BPMs to You

11:30 AM - 12:30 PM

In this one-hour presentation, we explore materials transparency and outline how material selection affects our built environment and the health, safety and welfare of applicators and building occupants. Attendees will learn how to review transparency documents including HPDs and Declare Labels and be able identify important information on those documents. In addition to increasing document literacy, we map how materials transparency and transparency documentation contributes to programs like LEED, LBC, and WELL. Finally, we examine case studies that have capitalized on the benefits of materials transparency.

Specify Today’s Hardwood Floors with Confidence

02:20 PM - 03:20 PM

With a long history of specifying hardwood floors, architects and builders understand the benefits and challenges of working with the material. There’s no doubt that occupants of residential and commercial buildings love the look and feel of hardwoods under their feet. But specifiers may presume that hardwood floors are more expensive and that an alternative product may install and repair easier. Architects may also be concerned that the wood is sustainably sourced.   Innovation in today’s solid-hardwood floors delivers renewed confidence to specifiers. This course will describe the floating hardwood floor and the solutions it brings to green building, to ease of installation and repair, and to beauty that will last for generations.
