Please SHARE Broadly!The abstract submission date for the
AIA/ACSA Carbon: Intersections Research Conference - has been extended to
APRIL 22, 2020. The conference is scheduled for Oct. 1-3, 2020 in Philadelphia and will have several opportunities for networking and connecting with fellow researchers and practitioners across the built environment.
We encourage you to submit your research now in any of these areas. We are hoping for research coming from practice, academia, government, and industry.
Topics included, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SHORT-TERM CARBON MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES:
- adaptive reuse and deep energy retrofits
- embodied carbon accounting and life cycle analysis
- commissioning, post-occupancy evaluations and the role of building occupants
Topics included, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LONG-TERM CARBON MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES:
- climate responsive design in a time of shifting and unreliable climates
- transition to electricity-based systems, on-site renewables and preparing for a decarbonized electrical grid
- how to best reduce fossil fuel-based energy use through design
- reliability and utility of energy modeling, predicted Energy Use Intensity (pEUI), and energy benchmarking
Across both of the tracks, we invite all submissions to address one or more of the following measures from the AIA Framework for Design Excellence including: Design for Energy, Design for Economy and Design for Equitable Communities. View the online AIA Framework for Design Excellence.
