AIA - BEC HOUSTON LUNCH & LEARN
2025-02-27 11:00 - 13:00 | Architecture Center Houston, 902 Commerce Street, Houston, 77002, United States
Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx): Ensuring Comfort, Durability, and Health – 1.0 AIA LU/HSW
Presenter – Kayla Maines
Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is a quality-assurance process to ensure that a building, when delivered, meets the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). Commissioning begins at the start of a project, known as Pre-Design, continues through the design and construction phases of the project, and is even observed a year after occupancy, sometimes longer depending on if seasonal commissioning is desired. The process is more than a single review of the Contract Documents, just system testing, providing check lists, only observing of construction, or only involving HVAC equipment. BECx is a combination of these types of tasks throughout the life of the project and involves the enclosure systems (exterior walls, foundation, and roof) to reduce Owner’s risk. We will review what BECx is and exploring the process by reviewing two case studies where BECx was utilized on projects.
Codes, Commissioning and Testing
Presenter – Jonathan Curtain
How the 2021 IECC Changes Affect Building Design, and How to Use Commissioning to Solve Project Problems
Codes are an ever-evolving challenge and opportunity for designers as they update in response to new products, requirements, and issues. These changes to codes can have major impacts on how buildings are designed and constructed, and are often associated with improving health and safety of building occupants. This presentation seeks to help designers understand recent major code updates that will have an effect on building design, how the commissioning process is essential to meeting these requirements, and how it can be used to solve building challenges.

CONFERENCE THEME:
SYMBIOTIC RESILIENCE: DESIGNING BETTER GROWTH
Houston has faced repeated storms that flood the city or cause massive power outages, raising a critical question: Has the city’s infrastructure reached a breaking point in its ability to handle our accelerating regional growth rate coupled with the growing impacts of climate change? As we mark the 19th year of Gulf Coast Green, we invite you to explore how we can Build better and more resilient in anticipation of an increasingly volatile climate and the likelihood of more frequent natural disasters. By embracing design practices that respect nature, we must treat our built environment as an adaptable, flexible, and inclusive asset for all. Whether working on large-scale regional projects or individual homes, every choice we make as designers shape the future according to the four key goals outlined by the AIA Climate Action Plan: achieving Zero Carbon, fostering Equity, promoting Health, and ensuring Resilience.

AIA - EQUITY SERIES PANEL DISCUSSION
2025-03-06 17:30 - 20:30 | Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin St., Houston, TX, 77004, United States
The AIA Houston Women in Architecture Committee is pleased to announce the eighth annual Equity Series, Value by Design: Resilient businesses. Individual security.
There has long been a cultural narrative within architecture that sets the value of the architect above the pursuit of lucrative compensation, framing financial ambition as secondary to the ideals of the profession. However, this mindset can leave professionals in the industry struggling to achieve the stability needed to thrive and sustain meaningful careers. The true value of architects cannot be realized without addressing this imbalance and ensuring the financial security necessary to maintain a diverse and equitable profession.
This year’s Equity Series asks how compensation structures can empower individuals at all stages of their professional journey. How can architects build financial security within the practice? What strategies can help architects navigate financial challenges and create opportunities for long-term growth?

AIA - EQUITY SERIES WORKSHOP
2025-03-07 13:30 - 16:30 | Architecture Center Houston, 902 Commerce Street, Houston, 77002, United States
Value by Design: Resilient businesses. Individual security
Architects aren’t the lowest paid workers in the building industry, but they often earn less than other trades. Given the cost of education, demands of licensure, and fee-related pressures, it’s not surprising that financial stability is challenging for many architects. Additionally, women and minority architects often have to contend with gender and racial bias. Firm leadership and firm ownership can be a path to financial success, yet emerging leaders – especially those outside of traditional frameworks – often encounter unclear paths to career advancement.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore pathways to firm leadership and firm ownership. Attendees will diagram career ladders at their firms and define their place on this trajectory. We’ll discuss the qualities and skills required to advance to leadership positions – and how to attain them – including business literacy, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, relationship building, and more. Rising leaders will leave this workshop with a proactive mindset focused on achieving their career goals, and existing firm owners will leave understanding how to guide and support the next generation of women and minority leaders in architecture.
