Decarbonizing Design: Best Practices and Strategies by Design Phase - 1.0 PDH (LA CES/HSW)
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
2:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. PT

Free for ASLA members! $50 for non-members.

Hosted by the ASLA Biodiversity and Climate Action Committee

This session focuses on how to approach decarbonization as designers. Landscape architects are skilled at balancing a complex array of different considerations on every project, regardless of its type or scale. To achieve carbon reduction goals, our design approach must incorporate best practices and strategies seamlessly into our practice.

The speakers will discuss how decarbonization strategies can be integrated with the existing project workflow, highlighting priorities and questions to ask at each design phase - from goal setting and team alignment to design decision-making, and technical oversight. A summary of the best practices to achieve reduction targets will be provided and the speakers will share more about the carbon accounting tools available to support designers. The session will conclude with a brief roundtable discussion of how to make the case for this approach with clients and project teams, then opening up to an audience Q + A.

Speakers:

• Marieke Lacasse, FASLA, PLA, LEED AP, BD+C, GGLO
• Mariana Ricker, ASLA, PLA, Associate, SWA
• Andrew Wickham, ASLA, PLA, LEED AP, Project Leader, LPA Design Studios
