SUMMARY:EP University: Communication Basic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second session of the EP University Lecture Series – Communication Basics. \nCommunication is a fundamental skill required to be successful in the field of architecture. This course reviews communication requirements and skills – from client interface and interaction to internal and external communication among all other team members. Using clear communication facilitates efficient decision-making\, minimizes misunderstandings\, and prevents conflicts. \n\nUnderstand the basic types of communication — verbal\, non-verbal\, written\, and visual — in order to determine the proper ways to apply and respond to each type\nReview communication preferences by each generation to know how to be the most successful in properly getting needed information to complete projects\nReview strategies for successful communication – including understanding team member roles\, respecting others\, and communicating with clients – with examples\nProvide strategies for conflict resolution when disagreements do arise within project teams – with clients\, internal team members\, or external consultants\n\nPresented by Jeanette Shaw of Powers Brown Architecture\, this session offers 1LU CE credit.  \nLunch is provided. \nLocation: Powers Brown Architecture\, MKT 600 N Shepherd\, Building 3\, Suite 300\, Houston\, TX 77007 \nAdvanced registration is required. Deadline: Monday\, July 13 at 5PM. \n

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lunchtime Learning sponsored by the Committee on the Environment (COTE)\n  \nFirst Safe\, then Circular: optimizing material health with Cradle to Cradle Certified®\nIf you are being asked to evaluate the material health of products and aren’t sure where to start\, this session is for you! We’ll dive into the basics of material health for designers\, including major classes of chemicals of concern\, chemical assessments\, and how designers can use certifications as they evaluate products. This presentation details the methodology and requirements for the Cradle to Cradle Certified® products program and how designers can use it to specify materials that are healthy in a project and across a supply chain. We’ll explore how Cradle to Cradle Certified®\, as a fully digitized program\, makes it easy for designers to find reliable material health information to deliver meaningful sustainability benefits on every project. \n  \nSpeaker: Ren DeCherney\, Director of Built Environment \n \nRen is a licensed interior designer who uses her first-hand experience of the complexities of the building industry to help designers and manufacturers translate their sustainability pledges into reality. \nPrior to joining the Institute as Director of Built Environment\, she worked in Portland as a designer\, where she took her firm PVC-free\, making them the first firm in Portland to make such a commitment. She was then the Director of Industry Transparency at Source\, a digital materials platform\, where she synthesized design team needs and industry trends to integrate sustainability seamlessly into the design process. This included building various user tools\, growing strategic partnerships\, and developing all of the sustainability filters on the platform. \nShe then worked at the International Living Future Institute\, overseeing the Declare and Living Product Challenge programs. There she worked with both designers and manufacturers to understand the current market incentives for sustainable practices and how to implement sustainability strategy into everyday practices. \n  \nAIA Credit: pending \nGBCI Credit: self-report \n
