    “Green infrastructure” can be a broad term. But when applied to stormwater, it represents a way to get closer to your net zero landscape goals. Rain gardens, conservation landscapes, and tree plantings of appropriate species can be paired with designing for the water that’s present in your site. Water harvesting can also be added for a source of supplemental water, and green roofs can be your first line of defense when it comes to achieving net-zero water on your site. This course is approved for one LA CES HSW PDH and APLD CEU. Attendees will: Learn how to define net-zero water landscapes. Understand how to use rain gardens along with other green infrastructure concepts to reduce energy-dependent water use on sites.Understand historical solutions such as water harvesting and cool benches as tools to utilize to get net-zero water usage.Register

    Algorithms-aided design tools are quickly becoming a standard of the AEC industry. They can bring endless opportunities for customization and automation within your design software and allow you more experimentation and optimization within your designs. Algorithms-aided design can be intimidating to a new user, but the most important thing you need to get started is a problem you want to solve. Once you get started, the true possibilities begin to open up. In this presentation, I will discuss some basics of algorithmic modeling, give some examples of scripts that you can build in BIM software, and look at several real-world algorithmic modeling success stories. Learning Objectives: Identify the multiple benefits of using algorithmic modeling within a design and BIM software.Describe how algorithmic modeling can be used to create multiple iterations and increase time efficiency within the design process.Demonstrate how algorithmic modeling can be used to analyze data and optimize designs.Discover how designers are currently using algorithms-aided design in their work.Register
