The Living Building Challenge Red List can be daunting and overwhelming for project teams, but it doesn’t have to be. Hear from a Sustainability Manager who successfully achieved the Materials Petal on a set budget with a small team.

The Red List is a powerful approach to communicate commitment to health and well-being alongside environmental impact. This session focuses on how to set up your materials process workflow and provides tips and tricks to streamline the effort to avoid impact to budget and schedule.
Virginia Tech School of Architecture and Design is offering a webinar on the “Structural Technology for Intern and Practicing Architects” this October and November.
 
The webinar instructor is Dr. Mehdi Setareh, Professor of Architecture at Virginia Tech School of Architecture and Design. He will go over the material to prepare intern architects for the Architecture Registration Examination. In addition, it offers up to 32 AIA HSW/LU hours.
* The ADU Accelerator is organized by the Napa Sonoma ADU Center and working with all 16 jurisdictions across the two-county area.
* The Accelerator is supporting jurisdictions in making improvements to their websites and public information to help homeowners better understand the permitting process and how to get their ADU approved.
* An ADU Standard Plans program is being developed and will launch in the coming months. The first step will be a Call for Submittals from interested architects, designers and ADU design-build firms. The Standard Plans program will create a gallery of permit-ready ADU plans that homeowners can access at reduced cost from participating architects. The plans will be for a variety of ADU sizes, configurations and design styles. Plans will have already been reviewed for compliance with building codes, but will need to be submitted along with other site-specific information to get the final permit. 
* The program will be similar to programs that launched recently in Los Angeles and Seattle.
* Architects, designers and design-build firms interested in participating should contact David Driskell (driskell@bdplanning.com; 607-227-0327)
