Greetings members and affiliates,

Happy summer and welcome to Design Awards season. Also sharing Net Zero Buildings week and AIA CA Design for Wildfire Resilience CE course here.

Scroll down to check out the latest job postings!
Description:
As climate change intensifies, the risk of devastating wildfires around the world will surge in coming decades and is being considered a “global wildfire crisis.” In recent years, California has seen the wildfire season expand beyond a few months to the entire calendar year, and conditions in spring and early summer give an early indication of the severity of what lies ahead. In the case of 2022, the outlook is ominous, and the need for resilience among residential and commercial buildings is becoming essential. This webinar will look at the importance of fire clearance, site design and landscaping as tools for resilience to wildfires.

Net Zero Buildings week is here June 13-17, 2022. Please help us virtually spread the word about net zero buildings and the people behind them by sharing this invitation with chapter members. All organizations and firms are invited to participate by sharing your resources on social media throughout the week using the hashtag #NetZeroNow. Net Zero Buildings Week is a free opportunity to widely promote your work, showing the world that net zero is possible and a critical strategy in the climate fight. The more organizations participate by posting and sharing resources like project case studies, guides, webinars, podcasts, and events related to net zero and carbon neutral buildings, the farther our impacts will reach.  

This year we are showcasing Net Zero Heroes, the people and teams that are instrumental in bringing these buildings and concepts to the market. Quotes, photos, and project stats are great ways to highlight the work of your Net Zero Heroes.  


Are you in? Participation is easy and the effort is as minimal as you’d like it to be. Head to the www.netzerobuildingsweek.org website where you can sign up and access resources and guidance for how to join.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
