This program will be held virtually. Cameras will be required to be on. See below for required materials.

Become a registered Safety Assessment Evaluator!

Training Description:

Cal-OES SAP Evaluator Training for post-disaster building Safety Assessment Program (SAP) provides architects, engineers, and building inspectors with the knowledge to provide valuations of facilities and buildings in the aftermath of a disaster. Disasters create terrible consequences, forcing people out of their homes into temporary shelters and closing down communities. With SAP trainers able to deploy into an affected area, they can quickly evaluate damaged structures, identifying those that are safe for occupancy, while marking those that are unsafe or have restricted use.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will learn to evaluate building safety in the aftermath of a disaster.

Attendees will learn how to mentor others on health, safety, welfare evaluations in the aftermath of a disaster or emergency to keep people safe and prevent re-entry before inspection.

Attendees will review protocol for working with and assisting local governments in the aftermath of an emergency.

Attendees (licensed civil engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors) will be trained as credentialed persons to be SAP Evaluators to work in the field posting buildings, limiting re-entry, and reviewing code violations that would restrict returning to an unsafe structure.

Date: July 18, 2025 (Zoom Link will be sent to participants on January 17th)Virtual Training 9AM – 4PM (one hour lunch break)Learning Units: 6 AIA HSW UnitsCost: $50 for AIA Members, $75 for Non-Members

12 – 1 pm – Optional light lunch at SteelCraft Long Beach

The 2025 AIA Summer Solstice program returns with “Bike Haus”—an immersive architectural cycling tour through the storied neighborhoods of Virginia Country Club (Los Cerritos) and Bixby Knolls. Once part of the historic Rancho Los Cerritos, this area evolved from its agrarian origins into a vibrant architectural landscape blending early 20th-century estates with landmark Mid-Century Modern works.

This year’s tour offers more than just a ride. Participants will pedal through quiet, tree-lined streets and stop at a curated selection of architecturally significant sites, including exclusive access to several formally hosted stops. At these locations, guests will step inside select private residences and commercial buildings for a guided, in-depth look at their design, history, and architectural context.

Featured works span from the handcrafted Arts and Crafts homes of Charles and Henry Greene to iconic Mid-Century Modern designs by Edward Killingsworth, Paul Tay, Hugh Davies, Stan Goldin, and Donald Gibbs. The tour also includes recent contemporary projects that thoughtfully respond to historic surroundings while addressing modern needs.

With its blend of architectural insight, neighborhood history, and rare behind-the-scenes access, Bike Haus invites attendees to engage in meaningful dialogue on preservation, adaptation, and the future of development in Long Beach—all while enjoying a shady summer morning ride through some of the city’s most scenic streets.

The tour concludes at SteelCraft Long Beach – join us for food and libations

We will use examples to illustrate how much is required, exceptions, and Zero Net Carbon design concepts and give previews of longer Energy Code Ace offerings on renewable energy.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in single-family homes

Recognize when solar photovoltaic and battery systems are required in Nonresidential buildings and Multifamily buildings

Explain how solar and battery systems improve grid harmony of buildings and onsite consumption of solar energy

Understand how alternative design options for single-family homes and nonresidential buildings can achieve ZNCD using efficiency measures, solar, and battery systems

Identify online resources for more guidance on these topics

Description:

Join us for a guided tour and discussion at The Bend House, a newly completed residential project in Torrance that features a fully reimagined main home and a newly constructed ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) situated in the front yard – novel and intentional design decision. Located on a corner lot, this project creatively explores the relationship between site conditions and architectural expression, with playful nods to the concept of “bending” through the use of half arches and curved forms inside and out.

Designed to clearly delineate between new construction and remodeled spaces through materiality and color, this project showcases a thoughtful integration of architecture, interior design, and landscape collaboration. Attendees will hear from the design team about the project’s conception, design challenges, and the potential of ADUs to improve housing accessibility and sustainability in the South Bay. Whether you’re designing for added square footage, potential rental income, or multi-generational living, this program will provide practical strategies and inspiration for incorporating ADUs into residential design.

Learning objectives:

Explore how site characteristics—such as a corner lot—influence design choices that enhance livability, access to daylight, and neighborhood engagement.

Describe the planning, design, and construction phases involved in integrating an ADU with an existing home, including key code considerations, spatial planning, and coordination with city requirements.

Examine strategies for clearly delineating new construction from remodeled spaces to support intuitive wayfinding, functional layout, and long-term adaptability of the home.

Discuss the financial, social, and environmental benefits of incorporating an ADU into residential projects, including increased housing flexibility, rental potential, and support for multi-generational living.

Description:

This course explores the transformation of a 1929 Spanish bungalow in Long Beach’s Zaferia district into a multigenerational home that balances privacy, shared living, and historical context. Participants will examine how the redesign preserves the architectural integrity of the original structure while incorporating modern interventions inspired by the urban and industrial surroundings. Key topics include designing for multigenerational living, integrating sustainable and cost-conscious strategies, and maintaining a strong connection to community and place. Special emphasis is placed on design decisions that enhance occupant health, safety, and welfare, ensuring long-term comfort, accessibility, and sustainability.

Learning objectives:

Multigenerational Design Strategies for Health and Accessibility – Analyze how architectural solutions can accommodate multigenerational living while ensuring safety, accessibility, and well-being through features such as universal design, aging-in-place strategies, and shared spaces that support social interaction and mental health.

Contextual Adaptation and Historic Preservation for Community Welfare – Evaluate how modifications to historic homes can respect original architectural character while enhancing occupant safety, structural integrity, and energy efficiency to improve long-term habitability and resilience.

Sustainable and Cost-Conscious Material Selections for Occupant Health – Identify material choices and energy-efficient strategies that contribute to indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and low-maintenance durability, thereby enhancing the long-term health and safety of residents.

Maximizing Natural Light and Space Efficiency for Well-Being – Assess the role of spatial planning, ceiling heights, glazing strategies, and outdoor connections in creating an open, light-filled home that supports circadian rhythms, mental well-being, and improved indoor air quality.

By the end of this course, participants will have gained insights into how thoughtful design can bridge past and future while prioritizing occupant health, safety, and welfare. This approach ensures that evolving family needs, sustainability, and affordability shape a home that remains deeply connected to its community and history.
