This course examines tools that can help set your project’s energy targets and track progress towards those goals. Pack a lunch and join us at green|spaces for the continuation of the AIA+2030 series. In course 2 we'll learn about setting targets, not just for the whole building energy use, but for energy end uses of the building, which is critical to achieving results. We'll also explore how energy modeling can be used at all stages of design to verify progress towards realizing the project’s goals. We'll follow up viewing of the course materials with group discussion.

Organized in 1953, we serve members in the greater Chattanooga area, including Ringgold, Ga., and Cleveland, Tenn., as well as several surrounding counties. The AIA is the voice of the architectural community. We advocate at the national, state, and local levels for issues affecting the practice of architecture and work to educate the public on the important role of architects. We help our membership stay connected with other local professionals and keep them informed about local, state, and national issues. One important function of the AIA is to maintain high standards of continuing education for all its members. AIA members are required to complete 18 hours of continuing education each year on a wide variety of technical topics each year--6 hours more than required by the state of Tennessee. This continuing education keeps AIA member architects on top of developing industry trends and technical matters.
