Originally constructed in 1866\, CMC earned LEED Platinum certification under LEED v4.1 EB+OM in 2019. With the support of pro-bono work by their LEED consultants\, Emerald Built Environments\, CMC started their pursuit of the WELL Health-Safety certification in 2020 during the pandemic. CMC was able to utilize much of the work completed through the LEED Platinum EB+OM efforts to ultimately earn WELL Health-Safety certification as well. \nThis presentation will delve into consistencies between EB+OM-approved green cleaning products and WELL Health-Safety product requirements and how CMC was able to build upon policies and procedures implemented in the LEED EB+OM process when pursuing WELL Health-Safety cleaning and sanitation features\, such as Support Handwashing and Selected Preferred Cleaning Products. In pursuing WELL Health Safety Air and Water Quality features\, the museum and LEED project engineer were also able to utilize ventilation and air treatment assessments previously performed during the EB+OM certification to inform the WELL Health-Safety Assessments. The museum’s commitment to clean air and water quality\, kicked off by its LEED certification\, made the WELL ‘Monitor Air and Water’ feature a no-brainer. CMC’s process of drafting WELL Health-Safety policies captured many of the procedures and practices already being implemented. \nThe presentation will close by looking towards CMC’s recertification\, to take place three years out from initial certification under LEED EB+OM. The presenters will share how Arc is being utilized to gauge the progress and ability of the museum to maintain its operational efficiencies. \nREGISTER FOR THE JUNE 7 WEBINAR \n  \n\nFebruary: Overview of LEED v5: Taking action on climate\, quality of life\, and ecology\nMarch: LEED v5: Swift Climate Action\, Enriched Quality of Life\, and Advanced Land Use and Biodiversity\nApril: Navigating Smart Building Certifications for Sustainable Futures\nMay: LEED and Upfront Carbon Emissions: A Comprehensive Look at A1-A5 Embodied Carbon in Building Construction\nJune: LEED EBOM Plays Nice with WELL Health-Safety at the Children’s Museum of Cleveland\nJuly: Smart Building Charrette\, circa 2030: Realizing the Promise of High-Performance Green Buildings\nAugust: Exceeding ESG Commitments with LEED for Communities\nSeptember: Looking to the Future: Utilizing LEED as a Tool for Adaptive Reuse Projects\nOctober: LEED Zero Project Profiles\nNovember: Implementing the Future of LEED with LEED v5 Operations + Maintenance\nDecember: Beneficial Electrification in Northern Climates\nJanuary 2025: Inclusive Pathways to Health in LEED v5: Harnessing Biophilic and Universal Design

SUMMARY:Lunch Break - Light + Justice: Interiors
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nEveryone deserves good lighting and beneficial darkness\, especially indoors\, where most of us spend most of our time; yet indoor lighting quality\, particularly in public facilities\, is generally neglected for marginalized\, under-resourced\, and vulnerable occupants. Lighting professionals have a unique opportunity to understand and address inequities that disproportionately diminish visual quality for people of color\, the aging\, the impaired\, and the incarcerated. \nThis lunchtime program builds on the Light + Justice discussion of our February 13 Evening Program\, exploring how lighting disparity shows up in interior environments. LightJustice.org co-founder Lya Osborn and St. Louis interior designer Shelley Satke join us to discuss this important topic\, sharing insights into the lighting and interior design approaches that can extend the benefits of quality lighting to all building users. \nFEATURED SPEAKERS: \n\n\nLya Shaffer Osborn is a multidisciplinary designer\, writer\, and advocate for design justice. She is a co-founder of LightJustice.org\, a community resource for addressing the social impact of lighting. She also serves as the North America Regional Director for Unolai Lighting Design\, where for the past seven years\, she has contributed to a wide range of projects and award-winning design efforts on both sides of the Pacific. Lya received a double M.F.A. in Lighting Design and Interior Design from Parsons The New School for Design\, where her thesis work challenged industry norms and incentives that have long defined a designer’s role in community\, and proposed alternative modes of improving accessibility of design resources to the historically underserved. Lya is a member of the International Association of Lighting Designers and the Illuminating Engineering Society\, and is Community Friendly Lighting Certified. \n\nShelley Satke Niemeier is an award-winning interior designer at SPACE Architects + Designers + Builders\, excelling in hospitality interior design. Shelley’s work has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects St. Louis and Mid-Missouri\, the American Society of Interior Design Missouri East\, and local shelter magazines. Shelley is committed to designing for comfort\, wellness and sustainability\, and she always endeavors to create timeless spaces that will not need to be stripped of trendy materials and lighting in a few years to remain beautiful. She takes a “less is more” approach for visual simplicity and elegance\, and reduced overall consumption of consumer goods. Shelley is an Associate ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and LEED Green Associate. \n  \nBACKGROUND ON LIGHT + JUSTICE\nOn November 4\, 2022\, the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) in partnership with lightjustice.org presented a one-day virtual symposium. From their website: “‘Light Justice’ is an idea rooted in an ongoing conversation between Edward Bartholomew and Mark Loeffler\, both lighting designers and IES members\, about their mutual recognition of harmful disparities in lighting quality and inequality in the public realm. In 2020\, they coined the term ‘Light + Justice’ as the title and subject of numerous presentations and published articles exploring the unjust impacts of bad lighting and opportunities for the lighting industry to overcome those social and environmental inequities. As they have come to define it\, ‘Light Justice’ is the practice of planning\, designing\, implementing\, and investing in good lighting for under-resourced communities through a process of stakeholder engagement and community-supported placemaking.” \nREGISTER NOW \nIn 2024\, our Coffee Break Series will transition to a slightly longer Lunch Break Series. These sessions will take place on the 3rd or 4th Fridays from 12:00pm-12:45pm. Join your Green Buildings Are Better community every 3rd or 4th Friday on Zoom for a quick (free) lunch break discussing green building and sustainability hot topics with local and national featured guests! Check our CoffeeBreakPlaylist on YouTube for recordings of our 2023 sessions! \nConsent to use 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.

SUMMARY:ILFI Member Webinar - Climate Positive Design: Beyond Buildings
DESCRIPTION:What role can our sites\, landscapes\, and infrastructure projects play in reducing emissions while increasing sequestration\, and can these projects sequester more carbon than they emit? How can new tools and knowledge help inform site and building decisions throughout a project’s design phases? \nWhen ILFI debuted the Zero Carbon Certification\, it was the first of its kind. With the recent and rapid increase of data and newly available tools\, we can now expand our design considerations beyond the building and into the environment\, reaching the aspirational goal of climate positivity. \nLandscape architects Pamela Conrad of Climate Positive Design and Chris Hardy from Sasaki will discuss strategies that empower designers of the exterior built environment to reduce carbon emissions and increase sequestration. They will present techniques and tools to calculate the carbon balance of landscape and infrastructural materials and strategies\, both now and throughout a project’s lifespan. \nThis is the third of three complimentary ILFI webinars that Missouri Gateway Green Building Council members to attend for free. To access this webinar\, you must be an active Missouri Gateway Green Building Council member. Access the Zoom registration and partner code here. You will be prompted to login. \n\n\nNot a member? What are you waiting for? JOIN OR RENEW NOW! \n\nThis webinar is approved for 1 LFA General credit and 1 AIA LU|HSW. Learn more.
