Prepare for the New Energy Future™
In January 2011, AIA Denver launched the AIA+2030 Professional Series, which is designed to help professionals create buildings that meet the ambitious energy efficiency goals of the Architecture 2030 Challenge®. Ten, once-monthly, four-hour sessions offer strategies to reach 60-100 percent reduction in fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, giving design professionals the knowledge and leverage to create next-generation, super-efficient buildings—and providing individuals with the skills that will set them apart in the marketplace.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Sessions are led by experts from academia and active practice, and feature regional case studies to illustrate concepts and lessons learned. This series is intended for participants who have at least an intermediate understanding of the suite of energy efficiency strategies and technologies available to design professionals. Session information is cumulative and aims to provide an overall understanding of specific design strategies and how that can be integrated to provide optimal results. Participants will be provided with tools to take back to their firms to help share and implement the knowledge and skills gained.

REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2013 series is now closed. To be placed on the 2014 series waiting list, please email nicolle@aiacolorado.org.
