On Wednesday 11th October 2023 we continued our sustainability event series with an online talk from Thornton Tomasetti's Principal and Sustainability Practice Leader Gunnar Hubbard (FAIA, LEED Fellow), examining how we can embed low carbon approaches into our design processes. As an expert in creating high performance, low energy, healthy buildings, and with a current focus on advancing the firm’s building analytics services and expertise in certification systems such as Passive House, Living Building Challenge and WELL, Gunnar expertly interwove the theory and practice of bringing carbon reduction to the forefront of our design processes. He examined how these processes are changing, and the major role AIA ethical responsibilities must play in them. Using a range of case studies he elucidated how we can - and indeed must - have a meaningful impact on climate action through our architectural design work.
The talk is now available online, and 1 HSW LU credit can be earned by successfully completing the accompanying online quiz, which will be set up shortly.
