SUMMARY:AIA Hilton Head April Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:RSVP for the Luncheon HERE by TODAY @ 4PM!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAIA Hilton Head April Lunch and Learn: \nJoin us at Venue 1223 in Bluffton for this month’s lunch and learn on\nUnderstanding Stone Wool (Mineral Wool)\npresented by Rockwool \nCourse Description: \nUnderstanding Stone Wool (Mineral Wool) in Interior and Exterior Applications – Solutions for Thermal\, Fire and Sound Control. The net energy savings realized in a properly insulated building are well understood. However\, as design professionals strive to maximize thermal resistance\, yet reduce mass in the wall assembly\, insulation is increasingly being positioned in both the stud wall and the exterior side of the building envelope. This split insulation concept has introduced a number of design issues and concerns; particularly as relates to fire resistance\, moisture management\, and wall drying rates. This program focuses on the unique properties of stone wool insulation\, and suggests how it can improve thermal\, fire\, water and sound suppression performance in a well detailed wall assembly. \nWhat: Understanding Stone Wool (1 HSW/SD LU)\nWhen: Wednesday\, April 8th\, 12:30 – 1:30PM\nWhere: Venue 1223 (next to Downtown Deli)\n1223 May River Road\, Bluffton\, SC 29910\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for the Luncheon HERE by TODAY @ 4PM!!

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.

SUMMARY:COTE SC Webinar: Getting to Net-Zero Energy Before the RFP
DESCRIPTION:COTE SC Carbon-Focused Webinar Series\n \nPart Two: Getting to Net-Zero Energy Before the RFP \nTuesday January 13\, 12-1 PM \nPresenters: Catalyst Partners \nFormat: Live One-hour lecture-based webinar accompanied by slides and Q&A \nCEUs: Yes\, 1 CEU/LU\n\nCourse Description: \nThe profession needs to advance high-performance in challenging markets and climate regions. The speaker describes the top five considerations that should be evaluated for every zero-net energy project during the pre-RFP process. Then\, the speaker explains how to set a meaningful energy target on a proposed project – which is critical to achieving zero-net energy. Finally\, the speaker identifies the crucial design decisions that make (or break) the potential for zero-net energy. The truth is that every energy model is WRONG to some degree – and yet they are essential to an integrative design process for high-performance project outcomes. In the spirit of the integrative process\, at key points during the session\, the audience will be prompted to participate in real-time performance modeling decision-making using cloud-based building energy modeling tools. In one specific example\, a seemingly “good” decision when considered in isolation will be shown to be detrimental to overall energy performance when considered in the context of the whole building using dynamic real-time tools. The audience will also be introduced to “next generation” energy modeling using genetic algorithms to achieve design optimization solutions and total carbon modeling\, which incorporates emerging processes and databases for assessing and optimizing embodied carbon intensity as part of a project lifecycle carbon assessment. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n     Explain the top five design considerations of ZNE that need to be considered before responding to a request for proposal (RFP).\n     Identify specific design questions that a project team needs the building energy modeling effort to answer as early as pre-design.\n     Determine the appropriate tools to ensure that energy performance and lifecycle carbon goals will be achieved on any project.\n     Prepare a framework to effectively integrate early-stage building energy modeling within any firm’s culture and design practice.\n\n
