SUMMARY:2:00pm - Housing Solutions Across the Edge
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Housing Solutions Across the Edge[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Well before the current housing crisis\, creative developers and grassroots communities were busy advancing a broad movement. Largely inspired to create housing\, also moved to establish a profound sense of place\, this movement has become so broad and deep that no single person or group can say that know most of what is going on. While that’s true\, this presentation will show some of the most dynamic and influential stories from the ongoing hotbed of social-ecological innovation that is Portland\, Oregon. Some examples include developer-driven urban infill cohousing\, block and home scale “revillaging” retrofits\, and DIY villages by and for previous houseless people.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerMark LakemanRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

Many people from all walks of life and who live in existing housing can no longer escape to their ‘castle’. What can be done to provide healthy housing with clean\, cool and affordable indoor air to those most vulnerable? This session brings together three experts to discuss solution driven outcomes to the challenges we now face in existing buildings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerAileen GagneyRead BioTom BalderstonRead BioWebly BowlesRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:12:00pm - Blowing the Lid Off Affordable Net Zero Housing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Blowing the Lid Off Affordable Net Zero Housing[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]The C Street Co-op packs a punch: Affordable Housing at 60% AMI? Check. Affordable homeownership? Check. Permanently affordable homeownership? Check. Net Zero Energy? Neighborhood walkability? And all this with about 10% of the subsidy required by typical affordable housing apartment buildings? Check\, check\, and check. Recently completed in Springfield\, Oregon\, the C Street Co-op has blown the lid off the affordable housing game. How? By changing the rules. Through cooperative ownership\, missing middle infill housing\, and the straightforward application of Passive House principles\, the C Street Co-op is a powerful demonstration of new paradigm for affordable\, sustainable homeownerhip for America.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerDylan LamarRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:12:00pm - How Buildings Can Reverse Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]How Buildings Can Reverse Climate Change[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Emissions arising from manufacturing building materials for North American homes add around 65 million metric tonnes of GHGs every year. And the drive to improve energy efficiency in homes may push these emissions even higher. Understanding the impacts of material carbon emissions (MCEs) is critical for all of us in the homebuilding industry. Fortunately\, homebuilders have a clear\, achievable and affordable path to bringing MCEs to zero or\, even better\, to making homes that store carbon and help reverse climate change. \nHow do we do this? We need to understand MCE\, be able to assess MCE in our buildings and work toward designs and material procurement that matches our climate goals. It is also critical that we make these buildings last as long as possible\, providing health and resilience for their occupants\, so that the MCEs are stored rather than re-emitted during deconstruction or demolition. \nThis presentation will include results from two new Canadian studies that put this issue into clear perspective for the first time. It will also include project examples from Phoenix and Seattle to show low embodied carbon building is already occurring in a broad range of climates.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerChris MagwoodRead BioLucas JohnsonRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:10:30am - The Need for Affordable\, Sustainable Housing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]The Need for Affordable\, Sustainable Housing[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]We have dual climate and affordable housing emergencies bearing down on us as a community and a world. In order to be truly sustainable\, our communities must make note of the equitable access to clean\, green\, affordable housing. Our communities in Redmond and Kirkland are 100% LEED Platinum certified\, and yet close to three quarters of our residents earn less than 50% of the median income. And we build without government subsidies. \nIf we are truly going to move forward with a sustainable\, equitable future\, we must join the three major pillars of successful communities: the environment\, housing\, and transportation. With must look holistically at how we build now and in the future to be more resilient to the challenges we will face in the coming decades as climate change intensifies. We can thrive as a community\, but we have to do it together\, and we have to be serious and make bold moves that protect our future on this planet.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerAngela RozmynRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:10:30am - Concrete Carbon Solutions
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Concrete Carbon Solutions[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]The top 50 architecture\, engineering\, construction (AEC) firms\, and other key professionals responsible for well over one trillion dollars of global annual construction have rallied around establishing building sector emissions targets to meet the Paris Agreement. The embodied carbon emissions of construction products represent a significant portion of emissions and unlike operational carbon emissions these emissions are locked in place as soon as a building is built. However\, measuring the impacts of buildings\, assemblies and products can be complex. Every design decision from product selection to envelope design and construction can have an impact on the environment throughout the project’s service life. Now we have the ability to adopt a holistic life cycle perspective to provide solutions that minimize the carbon impacts while ensuring resilience to natural hazards.\nThis session will review the growing number of legislation and regulations to reduce carbon emissions of the concrete industry; how the industry demonstrates success through innovative tools and metrics; and how manufacturing methods and research are enhancing concrete products to meet the challenges of climate adaption.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerTien PengRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:9:00 am - The River That Made Seattle
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]The River That Made Seattle[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Once teeming with bountiful salmon and fertile plains\, Seattle’s Duwamish River drew both Native peoples and settlers to its shores over centuries for trading\, transport\, and sustenance. Unfortunately\, the very utility of the river was its undoing\, as decades of dumping led to the river being declared a Superfund cleanup site. \nMuch of Washington’s history has been told through the perspective of its colonizers\, obscuring and mythologizing the changes to these lands that have long been occupied by Native peoples. Through the story of the river\, author BJ Cummings explores previously unrecorded Native and immigrant histories\, and exposes settler falsehoods about the founding of the state. The river’s story is a call to action to align future decisions with values of collaboration\, respect\, and justice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerBJ CummingsRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]
