SUMMARY:COTE SC Webinar: Mastering AIA 2030 Commitment Reporting: From Signatory to Sustainability Champion  
DESCRIPTION:COTE SC Carbon-Focused Webinar Series\n \nPart Three: Mastering AIA 2030 Commitment Reporting: From Signatory to Sustainability Champion   \nTuesday February 10\, 12-1 PM \nPresenters: LS3P \nHeather Warren Associate AIA\, LEED AP BD+C WELL AP\, LS3P Sustainable Design Team\, and AIA2030 Taskforce\, \nIsela Martinez AIA\, LEED AP\,  LS3P  Sustainable Design Team\, and AIA2030 Taskforce\, \nwith support from \nEthan Atherton AIA\, LS3P  Digital Technology Practice and AIA2030 Taskforce.  We are in the practice of architecture\, and AIA2030 reporting has been challenging for firms of all sizes\, we want to share where we are in the process and that all of us are seeking to master it – it is a challenge! \nFormat: Live One-hour lecture-based webinar accompanied by slides\, reporting portal and Q&A \nCEUs: Yes\, 1 CEU/HSW \nCourse Description: \nThis hands-on webinar empowers architectural firms to confidently navigate and fulfill their reporting requirements under the AIA 2030 Commitment. Attendees will explore the step-by-step process of signing on\, managing the Design Data Exchange (DDx)\, and strategically presenting predicted energy data to align with the net-zero by 2030 vision. Featuring practical tools\, real-world examples\, and expert insights\, the session aims to equip firms with the knowledge and confidence to meet annual reporting mandates and drive continual performance improvement. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the Purpose & Significance\n\nDescribe the mission of the AIA 2030 Commitment and how it upholds the architecture profession’s role in achieving carbon neutral buildings by 2030.\n\n\nBecome a Signatory\n\nIdentify and navigate the initial steps to sign the Commitment\, including creating a firm account in AIA’s Design Data Exchange (DDx) and submitting the commitment letter. \n\n\nMaster Annual Reporting via DDx\n\nClarify reporting windows—typically January through March with the due date of March 31—and recognize that firms may access and input data year-round.\n\n\nCapture Required Data Parameters\n\nEnumerate the essential data fields required for each project\, including:\n\nProject stage (conceptual\, schematic\, development\, construction docs)\nProject scope (architectural with HVAC/envelope changes or interiors with lighting design)\nGeographic location (country\, zip code or city)\nBaseline Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and predicted EUI (pEUI)\, leveraged via AIA’s Zero Tool or other baselines\nWhether actual energy use data is tracked\nFor interiors-only: lighting power density and applicable energy code defaults\n\n\n\n\nEngage with Expanded Metrics\n\nIncorporate new elements into the reporting\, such as:\n\nFuel sources to enable Operational Carbon Intensity (OCI)\nEmbodied Carbon Intensity (ECI) via Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA)\nParticipation in the new Embodied Carbon-Only project page within DDx \n\n\n\n\nInterpret Reporting Outcomes\n\nAnalyze “By the Numbers” reporting summaries—e.g.\, in 2023\, 490 firms reported ~24\,742 projects across nearly 4 billion GSF; a 50% pEUI reduction plateau; 7\,067 projects included embodied carbon data; renewables featured in 2\,163 projects; and approximately 38.5 million metric tons of CO₂ avoided.Improve Firm Performance Year-over-Year\nLearn how consistent annual reporting fosters data-driven improvements in design outcomes\, supports firm benchmarking\, elevates sustainability culture\, and informs recruitment or client proposals. \n\n\nLeverage AIA Resources & Community Support\n\nNavigate available support tools such as DDx help pages\, how-to videos\, recorded webinars\, and open office hours—especially helpful \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:CACC + AIA Charleston Lecture Series: B Sanborn
DESCRIPTION:Lunch at 12:00 pm\nLecture at 12:30 pm\nCEUs will only be given to AIA members attending in person. There will be a sign-in sheet at the door to receive credit\n\n\n\n\nResearching the Human Experience: Aligning Mixed-Methods Rigor with Industry Reality\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis talk explores how designers can leverage interdisciplinary and mixed-methods research in practice. Drawing on experience leading research at a large integrated design firm\, we’ll examine three essential approaches: data triangulation\, empirical observation\, and qualitative participatory methods. A key focus will be aligning rigorous research methods with the realities of industry—including client perspectives\, budget constraints\, and project timelines. Through case studies\, including co-creating measures of success and removing barriers to adoption for materials\, attendees will see how systematic research methods translate into actionable design insights. This session demonstrates how research becomes a strategic practice rather than a one-off project. \nB Sanborn \nB Sanborn specializes in helping organizations use research to transform ad-hoc decision-making into evidence-based design. Their methodology bridges anthropology\, environmental psychology\, and organizational behavior to reveal patterns in how teams collaborate\, how stakeholders engage with research\, and how evidence influences design decisions. Through their work at DLR Group and in industry research associations\, B helps practitioners build research thinking into their design process. B currently serves as Design Research Leader at DLR Group\, where they’ve spent eight years building the firm’s research program from a solo practice into a team of four\, establishing research strategy\, capability frameworks\, and ROI models for integrated design firms. They are also a Principal in the firm. B holds an MS in Environmental Psychology from Cornell University with a minor in Organizational Behavior and a BA in Archaeology and Physical Anthropology from CSU Sacramento. Their published research on coworking environments and workplace dynamics appears in the Journal of Corporate Real Estate and design theory handbooks. They serve as 2025-26 Board Chair of the Environmental Design Research Association\, sit on the Center for Health Design’s EDAC Advisory Council\, and contribute to the American Psychological Association’s Climate Change Task Force. B has studied theater and dance alongside their research career\, bringing elements of improv\, spatial dynamics\, and embodied listening to their work—informing a research philosophy based on negotiating shared movement within structure.
