AIA+2030 Professional Series
Prepare for the New Energy Future™
In January 2011, AIA Denver launched the AIA+2030 Professional Series, which is designed to help professionals create buildings that meet the ambitious energy efficiency goals of the Architecture 2030 Challenge®. Ten, once-monthly, four-hour sessions offer strategies to reach 60-100 percent reduction in fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, giving design professionals the knowledge and leverage to create next-generation, super-efficient buildings—and providing individuals with the skills that will set them apart in the marketplace. In 2012, we will again offer this series.
About the Series: Sessions are led by experts from academia and active practice, and feature regional case studies to illustrate concepts and lessons learned. This series is intended for participants who have at least an intermediate understanding of the suite of energy efficiency strategies and technologies available to design professionals. Session information is cumulative and aims to provide an overall understanding of specific design strategies and how that can be integrated to provide optimal results. Participants will be provided with tools to take back to their firms to help share and implement the knowledge and skills gained.
Registration: 2012 Registration is now closed.
2012 Sessions: Fourth Fridays* (no session in June), from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. • 4 HSW/SD/GBCI credits per session • 40 HSW/SD/GBCI credits for the series • PPA Event Center (2105 Decatur St., Denver, CO 80211)
Series moderated by Paul Hutton, AIA, Hutton Architecture Studio (Denver)
