SUMMARY:PHN Presents: Passive House & Fire Resilience - Building Forward
DESCRIPTION:Growing wildfire devastation demands better-protected buildings – better protected by building design and better design of their surrounding landscape. Yet\, after fire events\, like in Los Angeles\, there is a need to rebuild quickly. Join to investigate integrated approaches with Passive House\, how they’ve been implemented following other wildfires\, and the possibilities they demonstrate for building forward. \nAbout the Presenters: \nBirgitte Messerschmidt is Director\, Research\, National Fire Protection Association. She is responsible for NFPA’s Research Strategy\, Research on fire problems and other safety issues\, Data collection efforts to maintain NFPA’s fire incident and fire service databases\, and the NFPA Research library. She has a M. Sc. In Civil Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark and has spent her entire career working on fire safety issues. Making our built environment more resilient to fire through a better understanding the impact of construction products and methods\, testing procedures\, and policy has been a career-long passion. She has been involved in testing and research as well as standardization and advocacy. She has published and presented numerous papers on fire safety issues. \nAndrew Michler has focused on high-performance building design and materiality since 1993. He has written and researched extensively on new architecture and is the author of the book Hyperlocalization of Architecture\, released in 2015. He is a co-founder of Passive House Rocky Mountains\, a founding board member of The Passive House Network\, and was chair of the Northern Colorado Renewable Energy Society. He completed the first International Certified Passive House in Colorado in 2016\, which has won several awards and has been prominent in international design media. His experience designing Passive House throughout the Colorado Rockies has focused on wildfire hardening techniques merged with Passive House methodologies. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Beyond the Net Zero Pledges: Do they Still Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Many businesses\, institutions\, cities\, and regions have pledged to reach net-zero emissions within a few decades. But accountability has always been a challenge and it’s one made more difficult by recent political backsliding around the globe. What’s the path forward for sticking to credible benchmarks? Is there a role for carbon offsets and voluntary carbon markets? \nYou’ll hear from Catherine McKenna\, CEO of Climate and Nature Solutions and chair of the United Nations high-level expert group on net zero emissions commitments of non-state entities. McKenna served as Canada’s minister of environment and climate change from 2015 to 2019 and minister of infrastructure and communities from 2019 to 2021. \nMcKenna is a visiting scholar at the UCLA Emmett Institute. She’ll be joined in conversation with Distinguished Counsel Mary Nichols\, former chair of the California Air Resources Board\, and also a member of the UN high-level expert group on net zero emissions commitments. \nREGISTER HERE \nPlease contact Heather Morphew\, morphew@law.ucla.edu\, with any questions.
