Affordable and Sustainable Multi-Family Housing: Strategies and Case Studies
May 19, 2021
A persistent housing shortage in California and beyond is driving demand for affordable, sustainable housing which also serves overarching concerns of equity and social justice. This session will feature seasoned professionals — from architecture, engineering and non-profit development — who will present case studies and discuss proven and effective strategies, as well as lessons learned from a new generation of multi-family housing that is both affordable and sustainable, with many reaching LEED Platinum and/or net zero energy targets.

Radiant Cooling and Heating Systems for Large Commercial Buildings
May 6, 2021
This virtual course will assist architects and HVAC design engineers in understanding radiant systems with a focus on cooling thermally massive slab systems. The course will be taught by CBE researchers Fred Bauman and Paul Raftery, who will present the latest research results and findings on these types of building designs.
CBE Connect: May 12 with Gail Brager
May 12, 2021
CBE CONNECT is a way for our industry partners to engage with our research team in an informal setting. Twice each month, join us for a partners-only conversation to seek advice, get (or give) feedback, and stay connected with the work CBE is doing. We hope you can join us! Space is limited; RSVP required (log-in to the Partner Portal or email Jessica Uhl for assistance).
Wednesday, May 12th: 10-10:30 am PDT
Gail Brager, PhD, is interested in adaptive thermal comfort, mixed-mode buildings, and biophilic- and experiential-based design. She recently co-authored a set of ‘nudges’ to the existing adaptive comfort standards to improve comfort in commercial buildings while potentially reducing energy use. She is currently writing a book about multi-sensory design strategies, intersecting building and health sciences with architectural design guidelines. Gail is also CBE’s Associate Director and Professor of Architecture at UC Berkeley.
