Success in high performance building design extends well beyond the project and requires an ongoing commitment to advocacy, tracking project results, and iterative learning. This course revisits the key design strategies and processes for achieving advanced energy performance on projects, then dives into how the 2030 Challenge and the AIA 2030 Commitment can transform a firm’s practice and culture, as well as the broader community.

After the video, we’ll have a round table discussion on commissioning with Tom Hootman, AIA, LEED AP, WELL AP, from MKK Consulting Engineers.

Tom Hootman is an architect, engineer and author. As MKK’s Performance + Design Innovation Lead, he works at the visionary intersection of architecture and engineering and leads MKK’s new Innovation Lab. Hootman is a pioneer in net zero energy design and has worked on many notable projects including the Research Support Facility at NREL. He also recently published “Net Zero Energy Design,” a leading design reference on the topic.
