SUMMARY:Green Building Break - Improving Façade Designs by Comparing Automated vs. Manual Solar Shading
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nHow can automation contribute to enhanced well-being and more sustainable interior environments? When it comes to solar shading\, automation can ensure the comfort and well-being of occupants through a responsive system that balances natural daylight and shading needs in response to exterior conditions. This program will provide an understanding of innovative design trends including current market drivers\, comparing high performance glass vs. high performance shading and how to increase visual and thermal comfort by automating the balance of natural and artificial light. This course will build the connection between the influence of current design trends\, on building performance using automated facades. We will discuss design strategies using automated solar management and its impact on these design trends. \nFEATURED SPEAKER: \n\n\nAndy Rittenhouse is a a Specifications manager with Somfy Systems a world-leading supplier of motorization and control solutions. Andy’s focus is on commercial business solutions and smart home technology relating to window coverings and natural daylight management.

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.

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?
