It is a solution that reduces water aging\, delivers hot water faster\, generates significant construction cost savings\, reduces the carbon footprint of the structure\, and subsequently saves on water- and water heating-related utility bills for the entire life of the plumbing system. Effective July 1\, 2024\, the WDC became part of the California Plumbing Code (as Appendix M). Instead of using flow rates and flush volumes from the 1940s\, the WDC will allow plumbing designers to “right-size” the cold and hot water distribution systems in homes and apartment buildings using modern information about flow rates and simultaneous use. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDifferentiate the conditions that existed for the “default” water supply demand sizing method from the conditions that are incorporated into the Water Demand Calculator (WDC) when selecting a method for sizing peak water demand.\n\n\n\nDescribe the savings in cost\, water\, energy\, and carbon emissions achieved by using the WDC in the plumbing design of a multifamily building\n\n\n\nSummarize the reduced public health and safety risk as well as water quality benefit of plumbing systems designed using the WDC when justifying the use of the WDC.\n\n\n\nLocate instructional resources for using the WDC in the plumbing designs of upcoming projects.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary Klein\, President of Gary Klein & Associates has been intimately involved in energy efficiency and renewable energy since 1974. Mr. Klein has a passion for hot water: getting into it\, getting out of it and efficiently delivering it to meet customers’ needs. He works to simplify building codes and to get architects and builders to use plumbing systems that\, by their design\, deliver hot water quickly and with minimal waste. \n\n\n\nAfter serving 19 years with the California Energy Commission\, he has provided consulting on sustainability since 2008. Mr. Klein received a BA from Cornell University in 1975 with an Independent Major in Technology and Society with an emphasis on energy conservation and renewable energy.

Now that the baby boomer generation is aging\, we need to consider how this impacts our built environment – an overview of design considerations and lighting which can easily be addressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also to have others visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging\, whether just slowing down\, or have a more vigorous disability. This seminar addresses more than just the minimum standards of technical accessible design\, but rather good design practices and implementation overall. We will discuss common areas of concern and issues of aging and our built environment thru photographs of both good and more challenging examples of typical elements. \n\n\n\nSUMMARY \n\n\n\nAn overview of design considerations which can easily be addressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also have others visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging. \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand how different types of disabilities and aging impact our navigation of the built environment.\n\n\n\nRecognize the impact of lighting and color and how it affects us and our health.\n\n\n\nLearn about different items that can easily be implemented now for aging in place later.\n\n\n\nDistinguish and identify those elements and hazards to avoid that can be more of a challenge as we age.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION: \n\n\n\nThe Zoom log-in link will be sent one day in advance of the program. \n\n\n\nYour Zoom screen name must match the name used to register. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by URL:https://aialb-sb.org/event/accessibility-5-hr-license-renewal-seminar-2/ CATEGORIES:Accessibility,CEU,HSW,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://aialb-sb.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Stepping-Thru-Accessibility-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241114T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241114T113000 DTSTAMP:20260624T172833 CREATED:20240222T155416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241111T194922Z UID:20414-1731576600-1731583800@aialb-sb.org SUMMARY:Accessibility: 5-hr License Renewal Seminars (session 1) DESCRIPTION:THE FIRST OF TWO SESSIONS TOTALLING 5 HOURS FOR CALIFORNIA LICENSE RENEWAL\n\n\n\nNovember 14\, 9:30 – 11:30 + November 15\, 9:30 – 12:30 = 5 Hours (separate registration required) \n\n\n\n\n\n$50 AIA Members \n\n\n\n$100 General Admission \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility — A Photographic Look at Recurrent Non-Complying Elements\n\n\n\nThursday\, November 14\, 2024\, 9:30 am – 11:30 am \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION CLOSES TUES\, NOV 12\, 2 PM \n\n\n\n2.0 AIA LU/HSW \n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION \n\n\n\nADA and other accessibility regulations have been around for well over 25 years\, yet we still see items of non-compliance even in new construction. Is this due to a lack of knowledge\, or incomplete drawings and specifications\, or sloppy construction\, or is it that the topic has become so complex that it is difficult to synthesize all of the relevant information? And many of the items are indeed extremely technical yet the solutions need to be incorporated at the early non-technical design stages. This presentation will look at many common items in non-compliance often found in new construction and alterations. Learn thru a visual synthesis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs of numerous existing installations. We will discuss what went wrong\, was missing\, or misunderstood\, in order to recognize Access issues to be on the look-out for and how to better incorporate pertinent information into construction documents and specifications. \n\n\n\nSUMMARY \n\n\n\nBe on the look out for many common items in non-compliance often found in new construction and alterations and become aware of items needing special attention from design thru construction – a visual synthesis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs for numerous installations. \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\n\nIdentify typical non-complying items before they get built.\n\n\n\nRecognize items to be addressed early for compliant Access later.\n\n\n\nDistinguish those elements requiring more attention during design and construction for compliant installation.\n\n\n\nDiscuss what is required for successful Access implementation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION: \n\n\n\nThe Zoom log-in link will be sent one day in advance of the program. \n\n\n\nYour Zoom screen name must match the name used to register. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR THE SECOND SESSION\, Accessible Environments As We Age \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by URL:https://aialb-sb.org/event/accessibility-5-hr-license-renewal-seminar/ CATEGORIES:Accessibility,CEU,HSW,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://aialb-sb.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Stepping-Thru-Accessibility-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241107T120000 DTSTAMP:20260624T172833 CREATED:20241021T230459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241030T180409Z UID:23235-1730977200-1730980800@aialb-sb.org SUMMARY:REDI Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion Committee (EDI) is a committee of the AIA Long Beach / South Bay \n\n\n\n\n\n1.0 LU \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe REDI Speaker Series aims to improve our practice and make it more inclusive by creating a spotlight for those who are traditionally underrepresented in our field. \n\n\n\nProgram description: \n\n\n\n\nWe are excited to welcome Angele Robinson-Gaylord and our AIA community to join our REDI monthly meeting on November 7th at 11:00am. \n\n\n\n\nAt RDC we believe in supporting equity goals both in our project outcomes and in our internal processes.  To that end\, RDC formed the REDI committee in 2020 and we have been holding a monthly check in to come together to discuss current events\, share what we are reading/learning about\, and plan for upcoming volunteer/fundraising opportunities\, because it was not enough to have one town hall in 2020 and move on.  While this has mostly been an internal company forum\, we are exploring opportunities to expand. \n\n\n\nWe are fortunate to be joined by Angele\, Senior VP of Store Development and Design at Starbucks\, so she can share her story of navigating her own career path from law through to working in commercial real estate\, to now be leading a retail store development for retail brands which includes leading their teams of designers!  Join us to hear\, from her perspective and the motivation than can come from being told no! \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nUnderstanding the Importance of Diversity and Inclusion: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize the significance of diversity and inclusion in professional fields\, particularly architecture or related disciplines.\n\n\n\nGain insight into how diversity at leadership levels can inspire and empower underrepresented groups.\n\n\n\n\nExploring Varied Career Paths: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about the diverse career paths available within the AEC industry.\n\n\n\nUnderstand the challenges and opportunities associated with navigating professional life as a person of color or from a disadvantaged background.\n\n\n\n\nGaining Strategies for Overcoming Barriers: \n\n\n\n\nAcquire practical strategies for breaking through barriers and biases in the workplace.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how guest speakers utilized networking\, mentorship\, skill development\, and self-advocacy to advance their careers.\n\n\n\nDevelop proactive measures to overcome adversity and foster career progression.\n\n\n\n\nLeadership and Trailblazing: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize the leadership qualities demonstrated by the guest speakers as trailblazers in their fields.\n\n\n\nAnalyze how leadership roles and diversity can intersect to drive positive organizational change.\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities for personal leadership development and the potential to inspire change within one’s own organization.\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors!
