SUMMARY:Evening Program - A Practical Approach to Carbon Neutral Master Planning
DESCRIPTION:See list of August 15\, 2023 Attendees \nProgram Presented in partnership with:  \n \nREGISTER NOW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCampuses bring our communities together – providing education\, training\, and jobs for millions of people in the Midwest in cities\, small towns\, and rural communities. Central plants are the lifeblood of campuses\, whether they are focused on education\, research\, healthcare\, or manufacturing. While we know that a carbon neutral future is coming\, priorities are often set on maintaining operations\, planning for the future\, redundancy\, and resiliency\, which continue to take precedence over carbon reduction. Historically\, marginalized communities have been differentially impacted by poor environmental planning and at times by environmental catastrophes. Creating low or zero carbon central plants on our local campuses and in the buildings they serve is one of many steps toward environmental justice. It is our job as built environment professionals to be aware of the impact of our work and this is one area where we can do right both for our clients and the communities they serve. \nSPEAKER: Michael Swenson is a Senior Associate at BR+A Consulting Engineers. His work focuses on the energy planning\, including carbon neutral master planning\, vetting energy conservation measures in design\, commissioning of building systems in construction\, and post-occupancy measurement and verification. Prior to joining the firm\, Michael lead Green Building Services at Harvard University providing sustainable design consulting to the University and partnering with the Harvard Office for Sustainability to advise on sustainability policy\, healthier material standards\, and occupant engagement strategies. Michael has also worked as Faculty and a Teaching Fellow at Harvard Extension School where he taught classes covering a variety of topics including sustainable design and construction; buildings for health\, comfort\, and sustainability; and energy auditing. \nADMISSION\nFree – Members of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council\, ASHRAE – St. Louis and full-time students\n$25.00 – NON-Members\nASHRAE – St. Louis members should register for this event with ASHRAE to receive the member pricing.  \nREGISTER NOW \nTHANKS TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS \n\n  \nCONTINUING EDUCATION\nApproved for 1 AIA CES/LU \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES  \n\nDescribe how to plan for a carbon neutral future without sacrificing operations\, redundancy\, or resiliency.\nIdentify ways to align with stakeholders and build consensus around carbon neutral goals.\nAnalyze how a hybrid approach to carbon neutral master planning can maximize benefits while leveraging previous investments.\nExamine how an implementation plan takes shape\, including right sizing systems for future loads\, and long term planning for carbon neutral operation with future load reduction.\n\nCONSENT TO USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES\nThis event will be recorded and shared on our website. Registration/attendance at\, or participation in Missouri Gateway Green Building Council programs and activities constitutes an agreement by the registrants to allow the organization to use and distribute (both now and in the future) the attendee’s image\, in photographs\, video\, and electronic reproductions of such events and activities. \nAIA CES PROVIDER STATEMENT\nMissouri Gateway Green Building Council is a registered provider of AIA-approved continuing education under Provider Number R341.
