Sponsorship Opportunities
Did you know sponsors are the foundation of many of our programs? Their support of AIA Orange County allows us to expand our design awards; create events such as the Artwalk, member meetings, panel discussions, and COTE tours. Sponsorship further helps us build a stronger associates program to help members advance to licensure, and provide ADA seminars for license renewal.
As we look to the value of AIA Orange County membership, our goal is to expand the opportunities provided for you to learn, experience, and mingle with other members and our communities. We can achieve these goals through sponsorship support Click Here

Air Movement for Energy-Efficient Comfort In Conditioned Spaces
|
Wednesday, July 23rd- AIAOC Lunch Program-As we move increasingly towards market viable net-zero buildings with initiatives like the 2030 Challenge, we must reevaluate the role that typical building components play in a facility's energy efficiency. When integrated into new building designs, air movement allows a reduction of air conditioning capacity and ductwork. Project teams working on net-zero buildings have proven the effectiveness of incorporating air movement in building plans as part of an integrated design strategy.

As a result, the news media, consultants, and other industry observers consider the HDTS a credible and useful housing business resource.
Nowhere is such information more valuable, however, than in the strategic decision-making that drives the residential design and construction industry. Architects need ready access to reliable, profession-specific information to plan for a better future Learn More � |
