SUMMARY:Committee on the Environment: Form Before Fuel
DESCRIPTION:Form Before Fuel\n  \n\n\nEnergy efficiency is determined long before mechanical\, electrical\, and plumbing systems are discussed. Early architectural decisions—such as massing\, orientation\, window-to-wall ratio\, and envelope performance—can lock in a building’s energy use before any systems are selected. By viewing energy efficiency as a design challenge\, not a technology problem\, architects can significantly influence building performance when changes are most impactful and cost-effective. \nWhile Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets and the AIA 2030 Commitment are widely discussed\, energy performance is often perceived as the responsibility of engineering consultants. In reality\, many of the most consequential energy decisions are embedded within the architectural design itself\, often before consultants are hired. Rather than treating energy modeling solely as a late-stage code compliance requirement\, this program explores its value as a design tool during concept and schematic design. A practical framework—reduce demand\, optimize systems\, then incorporate renewable energy—is introduced to demonstrate how sequencing design decisions can prevent oversized systems\, higher first costs\, poor long-term ROI\, and occupant discomfort. \nThe course also addresses common misconceptions\, limitations of rules of thumb\, and the appropriate use of energy modeling to support informed architectural decision-making. \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\nIdentify how early architectural decisions like massing\, orientation\, window-to-wall ratio\, and envelope performance affect energy use\, thermal comfort\, moisture control\, and occupant health.\nApply climate-appropriate EUI targets and AIA 2030 benchmarks to guide early design strategies that improve indoor environmental quality\, operational resilience\, and long-term building safety.\nExplain how conceptual energy modeling can inform design during early phases to support healthy indoor conditions\, prevent performance failures\, and recognize limitations that may impact occupant comfort and durability.\nImplement a sequenced design approach to reduce demand\, right-size systems\, and evaluate renewables to enhance occupant comfort\, reduce risk of system failure\, improve resilience during extreme weather\, and support safe building operations.\n\nThis course has been approved by AIA CES for 1.0 LU | HSW. \n\n\n  \nLunch will be provided for all pre-registered attendees. Parking will be validated through Republic Center Valet.
