Learning the basics of observing what is needed for a home to be energy-efficient and safe for occupants throughout all seasons. The U.S. Department of Energy released the results of the National Evaluation of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The result from these studies provides the success of its endeavors. Energy efficiency is a primary focus of Weatherization and the evaluations showed that single-family households saved an average of over $200 on energy bills annually. Yet\, the most inspiring benefits of the program had nothing do with energy at all. It is a proven fact that the “non-energy” benefits associated with weatherization and retrofit activities are huge! The health benefits were some of the most impressive results to come out of the evaluations. According to these peer-reviewed findings\, participants in the Weatherization program can reduce the need for emergency room visits and other health-related costs\, saving families thousands in non-energy related benefits. \nLearning Objectives \n\nThe course will begin with insulation basics and then extend to all areas of making a home more energy efficient which will not only help the homeowners energy consumption but will also benefit their health\, welfare\, and the environment.\nFundamentals of Building Science\, Insulation and Energy Consumption: Heat Transfer 1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation\nWhat is infiltration and why is it important: Air Infiltration & Air Sealing\, Air Quality\, Introducing statistical figures on lack of insulation and moisture.\nNew Homes vs. Existing Homes: Understanding Construction Basics\, vented vs. Unvented Attics\, HVAC\, how “green” is your home and green misconceptions D. Tax Rebates and Government Programs\, National Grid incentives and rebates.\nGreen Building Programs & Differences:  National Green Building Standard\, LEED 3.

Today\, however\, we and our preservation colleagues nationwide struggle to demonstrate relevance to a broader audience. While transformative of the built environment\, our work has not engaged a city-wide audience\, nor adequately protected and stewarded Providence’s complete architectural legacy\, and we have not kept pace with the issues most affecting the residents of Providence. Recognizing this\, and believing that historic preservation has a role to play in addressing a range of contemporary challenges\, PPS set about to develop a strategic vision that engages the broader community of people who care about preservation; thoughtful planning and design; vibrant\, healthy\, and safe neighborhoods; and affordable\, quality housing. The result is a strategic plan that reconsiders the role of preservation and its practices\, and has drawn national attention for putting equity and restorative justice squarely at the heart of all work moving forward. PPS staff will share how the organization came to this work\, delve into the two-year planning process that produced the strategic plan\, preview how the plan is being implemented\, and discuss the reactions – good and bad – that PPS has provoked with this new direction. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExpand knowledge of changing practices in historic preservation\nBuild familiarity with strategic planning frameworks\nLearn basics of an equity audit performed at a small nonprofit\nUnderstand how to develop and implement a community development and engagement ethos\n\nTo read the Plan \nPresenters:  \nBrent Runyon\nBrent came to PPS to serve as Executive Director in October 2013. Prior to that\, he was the executive director of Thomasville Landmarks (Thomasville\, Georgia) for eight years. He received his master’s degree in historic preservation from the University of Georgia. While at UGA\, he focused on community planning and affordable housing issues and worked on several community-based design charrettes.  His focus is on community planning\, place identity\, and affordable housing issues. He is actively serving on the boards of the Providence Revolving Fund\, the Providence Public Library\, Trinity Gateway Historic Improvement Association\, and HousingWorks RI. He was named a Providence Community Library “Champion of the Year” in 2017. \nKelsey Mullen\nKelsey Mullen joined PPS as Director of Education in June 2019. She is a public historian\, humanities champion\, and architecture superfan with 15 years of experience in cultural organizations throughout the northeast. Previously\, Kelsey served as the Public Programs Manager for the Newport Restoration Foundation\, and as Director of Public Programming and Education at The Mount\, Edith Wharton’s Home. In each of her roles\, she has worked to harness the social power of cultural heritage and historic site experiences. Kelsey holds bachelor’s degrees in History and Education from Mount Holyoke College and a M.A. in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program.

Unhealthy air inside a dwelling can pose serious health risks for residents. Natural ventilation in green homes\, as well as mechanical ventilation systems that filter fresh air from outside\, keep residents breathing easy.  As the costs of building to green standards have dropped\, they are taking over the new construction market. This class will discuss the different green standards and elements that are common in green or high-performance homes. Knowing these elements and why they are employed it then becomes easier to understand the positive health\, wellness environmental attributes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGreen Building Fundamentals and why green buildings are healthier for its occupants.\nGreen certification vs. Green Attributes and ways of looking at green.\nGreen building design and the construction process.\nMajor green certifications. The benefits and costs of building green.

Using biophilic design patterns and sustainably sourced natural materials\, architects\, engineers\, and other AEC professionals can create built environments that improve the physical health and mental well-being while also providing positive environmental benefits. Sustainability\, natural materials\, regional sourcing\, and carbon costs are increasingly important factors. Against this backdrop\, small diameter round timber from sustainably managed forests is a viable structural material for commercial construction. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will be able to name structures\, systems\, and building types built using small-diameter round timber and identify where round timber can bring biophilic advantages as a structural or decorative material.\nParticipants will be able to identify a benefit to forest ecosystems and regional economies from building with small diameter round timber.\nParticipants will be able to use the performance benefits a small-diameter round timber structural systems (including strength\, carbon calculation\, fire failure mode\, and life cycle performance) in their projects to design hybrid systems with mixed materials.\nParticipants will be able to cite advantages of building with small-diameter round timber based on research at the USDA Forest Products Lab.\n\n  URL:https://aia-ri.org/event/webinar-why-trees-are-stronger-than-wood/ LOCATION:Zoom\, RI\, United States CATEGORIES:CEU Offering - Online ORGANIZER;CN="Roni Phipps":MAILTO:info@aia-ri.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220610T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220610T090000 DTSTAMP:20260404T082230 CREATED:20211220T203634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220525T200246Z UID:9837-1654848000-1654851600@aia-ri.org SUMMARY:Communications Committee DESCRIPTION:The Communications Committee meets on the first Friday of each month.  Members are welcome to join. \nEmail info [@aia-ri.org] for zoom login.
