Prepare your firm and your career for the new energy frontier

The AIA+2030 Professional Series helps design professionals create buildings that meet the ambitious energy efficiency goals of the 2030 Challenge. Ten, 4-hour sessions offer strategies to reach 50% reduction in fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, giving design professionals the knowledge and leverage to create next-generation, super-efficient buildings—and provide firms with the skills that will set them apart in the marketplace.

Sessions assume participants have an intermediate understanding of the suite of energy efficiency strategies and technologies available to a design professional. Session information is cumulative and aims to provide an overall understanding of specific design strategies and how they can be integrated to provide optimal results. Cascadia region case studies will illustrate concepts and lessons learned. Experts from both academia and active practice will lead the sessions. Participants will be provided tools to take back to their firms to help share and implement the knowledge and skills gained.

In order to maximize group learning and information transfer, session attendance will be limited to 60 seats. While it is highly recommended that individuals experience the series in its entirety, individual class seats will be released if space permits.

This fall (and again next spring) AIA Seattle's partners in the AIA+2030 Professional Series are offering an education series, Climate Analysis for a More Sustainable Architecture, to provide a deeper level of understanding about the key topic of climate analysis.
