WEBINAR: Projects in Process: A Look Inside Arch I Nexus' New Net Positive Water Building

WEBINAR: Projects in Process: A Look Inside Arch I Nexus' New Net Positive Water Building, September 28th, 9:30-10:00 am

This February, Architectural Nexus moved in to its newly renovated office in Sacramento, CA, hoping to be the first Living Building certified in California. In response to California’s recent and reoccurring droughts and energy crises, the building lays a framework for how to operate in such conditions. Through looking to nature for her concept and looking to place for her roots, the project is an educational and community asset for California. Sharing experiences from the design, construction, and performance period phase of the project, you will learn how the project team is meeting the Water Petal in the dry central valley of California, where the State legislature just mandated the consolidation of small water systems. As part of their advocacy process, the team found and customized a Water Permitting Map as a visual tool to identify code barriers and generate solutions. They have created Water Permitting Maps for the states of Utah and California, and will describe the process of adapting the map for your own region.
