SUMMARY:December Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor Public Schools and STANTEC will do a deep dive into the systems that AAPS is implementing in their new schools to achieve their carbon neutrality goals.\n\nAnn Arbor Public Schools (AAPS) is undertaking one of the largest capital improvement programs in the\ndistrict’s history\, with a strong focus on sustainability that closely aligns with the City of Ann Arbor’s\nA2ZERO carbon neutrality plan. This session will explore how AAPS and its project partners work\ncollaboratively to select infrastructure that supports the district’s goals of healthy environments\, energy\nefficiency\, and improved operational carbon. The session will cover building strategies from October’s\nmeeting on embodied carbon\, followed by case studies highlighting key factors when choosing central\nHVAC systems and terminal equipment. Recent projects will be highlighted to illustrate decision points in\nsystem selection\, challenges in integrating daylight and views\, and opportunities for innovative solutions.\nPrinciples for photovoltaic layouts will be discussed\, including relevant codes and standards for system\ndesign. Attendees will learn about building infrastructure impact healthy environments\, operational\ncarbon\, and energy use\, potential tradeoffs between ideal building forms for energy performance and\ndaylight/views and identifying key considerations for incorporating photovoltaic systems into school\nbuildings.\n\nSpeakers:\nJason Bing\, RA\, CEM\, LEED AP\nDirector of Capital Programs\, Ann Arbor Public Schools\n\nLindsay Woods\, AIA\, CSI\, CDT\, NCARB\, LEED Green Associate\nSenior Project Manager\, Stantec Architecture\n\nCasimir (Caz) Zalewski\, PE\, LEED AP\, CPD\nSenior Principal | BC Practice Leader\, Stantec Architecture\n\nTroy Foster\, P.E.\nSenior Mechanical Engineer\, Strategic Energy Solutions

SUMMARY:January Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Hot Water Heat Pumps \nExplore how existing buildings can electrify their hot water boiler systems\, reducing carbon emissions and improving efficiency. We’ll discuss strategies for retrofitting older hydronic systems to operate at lower water temperatures\, enabling compatibility with heat pumps. Building owners will learn how to test their existing systems this winter to determine which spaces will need additional heaters or insulation. The same heat pumps can also produce chilled water so a retrofit is a great opportunity to add cooling to spaces.\nFor new construction\, we’ll show how designers can incorporate hot water heat pumps from the start\, maintaining the maintenance\, flexibility\, and efficiency advantages of hydronic heating while meeting sustainability goals.\nFinally\, we’ll cover commercial kitchens\, where heat pump water heaters can provide reliable domestic hot water for food service operations\, meeting health code requirements while lowering carbon emissions.\nAttendees will gain practical insights into system design\, temperature reset strategies\, and equipment options for both space heating and domestic hot water applications. \nSpeaker: Caleb Kline\, P.E. \nSpeaker Bio: Caleb Kline is a mechanical engineer who designs heating\, cooling\, ventilation\, and plumbing systems for commercial buildings. He has worked in the architectural engineering industry for 10 years and three years ago started his own design firm\, Inclination Engineering\, to focus on energy efficiency and electrification. He has been actively involved with local houses of worship\, producing decarbonization plans\, designing equipment replacement\, and identifying energy efficiency improvements.

SUMMARY:February Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Implementing the A2ZERO Carbon Neutrality Plan Session II \nCountdown to 2030 \nThe built environment is the single largest source of global greenhouse gas emissions—making our industry a key player in the fight against climate change. As identified by Architecture 2030 in 2006 and adopted by the AIA 2030 Commitment\, 2030 is a pivotal deadline for emissions reductions. This presentation charts the Countdown to 2030: where we started\, where we stand\, and how we accelerate toward a zero-carbon future. Attendees will explore built environment climate targets\, celebrate industry progress\, and discuss the path to 2030 and a decarbonized built environment. \nSpeaker: Vincent Martinez\, Hon. AIA\, EIT\, CEO Architecture 2030 \nThrough his 19-year tenure at Architecture 2030\, Vincent Martinez\, Hon. AIA\, has been working to solve the climate crisis by catalyzing built environment decarbonization efforts through the development and activation of robust networks focused on private sector commitments\, education\, training\, and public policies. Vincent is an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and was the 2022 chair of the AIA Committee on Climate Action and Design Excellence. Vincent is also a former member of the World Economic Forum’s G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance Sustainability Task Force and the Forum’s Urban Infrastructure Task Force\, and recently served on the American Society of Landscape Architect’s Climate & Biodiversity Action Plan Advisory Group.

SUMMARY:March Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Creating Affordable Places \nDunbar Tower is a six-story affordable housing development in Ann Arbor’s downtown “Kerrytown”\nneighborhood\, co-developed by the Ann Arbor Housing Commission and Avalon Housing. Shaped by an extensive\ncommunity engagement process\, the project responds to the neighborhood’s legacy as a historically Black\ncommunity and the impacts of ongoing gentrification. The building brings together permanent supportive\nhousing for residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness alongside affordable housing for artists\, using a\ntrauma-informed design approach. This presentation will explore how the project balances the values of social\nequity and sustainable\, high-performance design\, with a focus on the project’s all-electric systems\, on-site\nrenewables\, and the challenges of implementing a geothermal system on a constrained urban site. \nSpeakers: \nJennifer Hall – Ann Arbor Housing Commission\, Executive Director \nWendy Carty-Saxon – Avalon Housing\, Director of Real Estate Development \nAshley Wendela\, AIA\, LEEP AP – LBBA\, Principal \nSteve DiBerardine\, PE\, CGD\, LEED AP –  Strategic Energy Solutions\, Inc.\, President and Founder

SUMMARY:April Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:The Value of Implementing Sustainability in Healthcare \nDescription: \nHealth care creates a significant portion of the world’s climate footprint and in turn produces an extraordinary amount of waste. \nEnvironmental sustainable health care practices are essential to protect the health and longevity of patients\, the community we serve\, and our planet. \nIn 2025\, U-M Health was named one of the Top 25 Hospitals in the country for excellence in environmental sustainability by Practice Greenhealth. In addition\, U-M Health also achieved a new system record of receiving four Circle of Excellence Awards. \nMichigan Medicine’s sustainability strategy has five main goals: reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, eliminate the use of chemicals of concern\, reduce waste\, source local and sustainable food\, and build healthy and resilient communities. These goals align with U-M’s Carbon Neutrality Goals and Campus Sustainability Goals as well as commitments U-M Health has made to reduce its impact of climate change and improve the health of the communities they serve. \nChip Amoe\, U-M Health Sustainability Officer\, will provide an overview and key examples of U-M Health’s Sustainability initiatives within their existing facilities and in the development of new facilities\, including the newly opened The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion that is on track to be a LEED-V4 Platinum hospital. \nSpeaker: \nChip Amoe\, JD\, MPA is the Sustainability Officer for University of Michigan Health in Ann Arbor\, MI. Before joining U of M Health\, he served as Director of Sustainability for Michigan State University in East Lansing and was the first Director of Sustainability for Henry Ford Health in Detroit. Prior to leading sustainability efforts\, he served over fifteen years in government affairs and health policy roles for Henry Ford Health\, as well as the American Society of Anesthesiologists and American Medical Association in Washington\, DC. Originally from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, he received his undergraduate degrees in political science and consumer affairs from the University of Rhode Island and his law degree and master’s in public administration from the University of Pittsburgh. \nResources: \nThe D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion \nLearn More about Michigan Medicine Environmental Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality \n
