SUMMARY:Implementing the A2ZERO Carbon Neutrality Plan  2025 Session I: SouthTown – creating a healthy\, low carbon\, resilient community
DESCRIPTION:SouthTown\, an eight-story\, mixed-use housing complex at 1601 S. State\, will not only add 216 new apartments to Ann Arbor’s housing stock\, but will be the tallest mass timber building in Michigan. 80 SouthTown apartments will be workforce housing\, priced to be affordable: costing no more than 30% of one’s income for tenants making 60-80% of the area median income.  In addition\, the building will generate 100% of its energy from a solar pv system and a natural gas fuel cell system that is about two-thirds more efficient than DTE’s grid. The complex be independent from the DTE grid.\nUsing WELL v2 standards to inform the design\, the project creates healthy living and working environments for all. The project both welcomes and builds community through outdoor spaces\, pedestrian connections\, and a variety of living spaces. Celebrated green space invites the public in with the street level SouthTown Plaza\, 4M Garden courtyard\, and Roof Garden. As a porous block\, the project creates a welcoming entry to the complex and the neighborhood.\nSpeakers:\nDeveloper: Heidi Porscher\, 4M\nArchitect: Lisa Sauve and Adam Smith\, Synecdoche

SUMMARY:BUILDING EDUCATION SERIES 2025: NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
DESCRIPTION:We’re kicking off the new year with a great session.  Our speakers will present innovative new technologies used to build and operate commercial buildings.  We’ll learn about inventive ultra low-power sensors and energy harvesting technology that do not require WiFi\, cellular signals or the building’s internal wiring.  We’ll also hear about cutting edge energy systems used in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cleveland Museum of Natural History projects that allow for remarkable energy savings and reduced emissions.  There are also advancements in the way contaminants are removed from boiler systems that require no chemicals\, making the process safer and easier as well as more operationally efficient and cost effective.  Our last team of speakers will provide a case study of the One Boston Wharf Road project.  This unique project incorporated groundbreaking new technology in the manufacture of cement.  If every project used this new technology\, it would cut carbon emissions from the cement used by 90% without sacrificing performance.\n\nSpeakers:\nMike Murphy\, Morgen Technology\nTom Sherman\, Sustainable Energy Systems\nBrian Kane\, Osborn Engineering\nCaroline Murray\, Turner Construction\nMitch Clark\, Sublime Systems\n  \n2 continuing education credits for: BOMA\, AEE\, ASHRAE\, AIA HSW\, certificate of attendance available for self reporting for Professional Engineers\, LEED and others. \n$15 for members of AIA\, ASHRAE\, 2030 Districts\, Cleveland State University\, Greater Cleveland Partnership\, USGBC\, City of Cleveland \n$20 for non-members \nStudents attend for free \nZoom link will be sent once registration is complete. \nREGISTER \nTHANKS TO OUR PRESENTING SPONSOR NOPEC \nTHANKS TO OUR EVENT SPONSOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SERVICES

SUMMARY:November Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Implementing the A2 Zero Carbon Neutrality Plan\nSession IX: COMMERCIAL ON-SITE SOLAR AND STORAGE: WHY SOLAR? WHY NOW?\nIntegrated System Planning for New and Existing buildings \nSpeakers:\nMissy Stults\, PhD\, Director City of Ann Arbor\, Office of Sustainability and Innovations\nChuck Hookham\, PE\, President\, Arbor Consultants\, PC\nJan Culbertson\, FAIA\, Washtenaw 2030 District \nDescription:\nOn-site solar and solar + battery systems can reduce electricity usage and cost\, enhance utility\ndistribution stability\, increase resilience\, and lower carbon emissions reduction\, with multiple\nadvantages for commercial\, industrial\, multi-family residential building owners and non-profits. Studies\nhave found that rooftop or ground-mount solar PV is both cost-effective and offers the shortest timeline\nto achieve these goals\, with solar-charged batteries enabling both reduced peak consumption and\nreliable power during DTE outages. Federal investment tax credits available right now are also\ncompelling\, offering over a 30% reduction in initial investment which shortens payback.\nThis session will cover the City of Ann Arbor plans to establish a Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) and how\ncommercial solar can be part of that system\, 2021 Energy Code solar-ready requirements for residential\nand commercial buildings scheduled to be in effect in 2025\, and actions that owners can take right now.\nChuck Hookham will also provide insights into sizing\, payback\, metering\, and the planning that is\nessential for both solar and integrated solar and storage systems. He will also highlight the importance\nof commissioning renewable generation systems and having solid contract documents to protect the\nowner’s investment.\nThe Washtenaw 2030 District Commercial Solar Program technical resources will be highlighted\, so you\ncan access free technical assistance to advance on-site generation for each of your projects. In addition\,\nresources for understanding and applying for IRA Tax Credits and Direct Pay will be shared.

SUMMARY:WHAT THE 2025 PJM SURGE MEANS TO BUDGETS
DESCRIPTION:PJM is our regional transmission organization\, managing the transmission of electricity and operating the grid.  PJM capacity auction resulted in a surge by nearly tenfold the compared to current cost.  This will mean higher prices for all businesses in the PJM service area starting June of 2025.  This includes Ohio.  In this session we will examine the causes for this spike – such as the retirement of certain power plants\, the surging demand for electricity\, and the implementation of market reforms. We will also discuss how you can proactively plan efficiency projects and reduce your peak load contribution to mitigate this cost for your property. Our professional partner\, TPI Efficiency\, will walk through what you need to know and offer suggestions for how you can develop a strategy for your building. \n  \nSpeaker: \nKarl Shaw\, COO\, TPI Efficiency \n  \nThere is no fee to attend this session but a donation is always appreciated. \nThis session is virtual on Zoom.  The link will be sent to you after registering. \nThanks to our event sponsor TPI Efficiency \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Building Materials Lifecycle & Embodied Carbon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an education event on Embodied Carbon and Lifecycle Assessment. This event will delve into the critical aspects of understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of building materials throughout their lifecycle. Participants will gain valuable insights into how to measure and reduce embodied carbon\, contributing to more sustainable building practices. \nWe are proud to partner with DCI Engineers and Gensler & Associates for this event. DCI Engineers will discuss the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with a focus on considerations for reducing embodied carbon during schematic structural system selection\, in addition to methods for optimizing environmental impacts throughout the entire design process that meet the goal of achieving net-zero structures by the year 2050. They will also discuss their expertise in Whole Building LCA (Structure & Enclosure)\, which includes green building rating system documentation for standards like LEED\, ILFI\, Green Globes\, and AEGB. \nWe are also excited to be joined by Gensler & Associates\, a global architecture\, design\, and planning firm with 56 locations worldwide. Gensler has committed to a net carbon-neutral portfolio by 2030. In addition to Architecture and Design services\, Gensler offers sustainability consulting services and strategies for developers\, building owners\, and tenants to minimize operational and embodied carbon in both new and existing buildings. An exemplary project is Gensler Seattle’s 2022 Office Renovation\, a Fitwel 3-star rated project focused on redefining the post-Covid workplace while prioritizing employee wellbeing and material reuse as sustainability drivers. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to engage with industry experts\, network with peers\, and enhance your understanding of sustainable building practices.
