SUMMARY:Healthy and Efficient Buildings: Policy Frameworks\, Standards\, and Tools for Improving Indoor Air Quality
DESCRIPTION:Healthy buildings are critical for resilient communities. With advances in science\, policy\, and technology\, buildings can now promote occupant well-being while enhancing energy performance. This session will examine emerging policy frameworks\, standards\, and tools designed to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and foster healthier environments across sectors. \nLeading experts will present the scientific and economic case for healthy buildings—linking enhanced ventilation and IAQ to reduced disease transmission\, improved cognitive function\, higher productivity\, and better quality of life for vulnerable populations. The session will explore current ventilation standards that integrate disease risk management\, as well as practical strategies for implementation by building professionals. \nWhile momentum for energy efficiency is growing\, parallel federal support for healthy buildings remains limited. This discussion will outline a forward-looking policy roadmap for advancing IAQ at the state and federal levels—including opportunities through the U.S. Department of Energy\, EPA\, CDC\, and GSA. Participants will learn how low-cost sensors and performance-based IAQ targets can be integrated into existing infrastructure to sustain healthier indoor environments with a case study from the commercial sector. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the impact of improved ventilation and indoor air quality on building occupants\, both for health and productivity\nIdentify tools and guidelines that building managers and engineers can use to improve the health of building occupants and reduce risk\nUnderstand state and federal policies that drive healthier buildings\, along with policy gaps\nLearn about simple targets for indoor air quality and an implementation framework for building managers\, using building performance air quality standards

SUMMARY:ASCE’s Report Card for America’s Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Every four years\, America’s civil engineers provide a comprehensive assessment of the nation’s 18 major infrastructure categories in ASCE’s Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. Using a simple A to F school report card format\, the Report Card examines current infrastructure conditions and needs\, assigning grades and making recommendations to raise them. \nLearning objectives: \n\nOverall performance and status of the nation’s infrastructure\nLeading issues which affect the U.S. infrastructure network and main barriers to addressing these\nSolutions to address longstanding infrastructure needs and promote improvements\nHow the report can help to inform key infrastructure stakeholders including Congress and federal agencies as well as private\, and non-profit organizations

SUMMARY:Understanding the Challenges of Preventing Construction Site Fires
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored By: \n \n  \nConstruction sites present a unique set of fire safety challenges due to their dynamic nature\, temporary infrastructure\, and evolving occupancy. The session will delve into real-world case studies\, regulatory frameworks\, and emerging technologies that influence fire prevention efforts. This panel discussion convenes leading experts from the construction industry\, fire service\, code enforcement\, and government agencies to explore the persistent issue of construction site fires. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and mitigation strategies associated with fire incidents during the building phase. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify the risk & hazards associated with construction sites.\nExamine the codes & standards that govern buildings under construction.\nAnalyze how new technologies can help keep construction sites fire safe.\nExplore enforcement strategies to safeguard construction.
