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:Wagdy Anis Symposium on Building Science 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating Wagdy Anis FAIA\, a pioneer in building science whose ‘Wagdy Wall’ transformed how we design energy-efficient buildings. His 50-year career at Shepley Bulfinch\, Wiss Janney Elstner\, and his own firm inspired the Wagdy Anis Symposium on Building Science. As Greta Eckhardt AIA Emeritus said\, ‘While Wagdy is best known for his promotion of controlling air leakage in buildings through the use of a continuous barrier\, he also was committed to many other aspects of producing sustainable buildings\, and contributed significantly to development of building enclosure performance and commissioning standards.’ Learn more about his legacy and the 2025 Symposium this October 9th at Architects.org.

SUMMARY:Extreme Heat 101 & the Policy Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Extreme heat is the most lethal weather hazard in the United States and has an economic burden of over +$160 billion a year. This introductory webinar will explore the growing threat of extreme heat and the evolving policy responses across all levels of government. Participants will hear directly from local\, state\, and federal officials about their roles\, responsibilities\, and strategies to mitigate heat risks and build resilience. \nFor all AECO professionals and legislators\, this session will equip you with foundational knowledge and insights to engage meaningfully in the heat resilience movement. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the Basics: Define extreme heat and explore its causes\, health impacts\, and social implications\, especially in the context of climate resilience.\nNavigate the Policy Landscape: Identify key policies\, frameworks\, and initiatives addressing extreme heat at the local\, state\, and federal levels.\nClarify Government Roles: Learn how different levels of government coordinate and respond to extreme heat.\nExplore Opportunities for Action: Discover ways individuals\, organizations\, and communities can support and influence heat resilience efforts through advocacy\, planning\, and partnerships.

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
