This course is part of the Technology and Business of Architecture Academy

In today’s rapidly evolving architectural landscape, integrating modern technology is revolutionizing how we design and construct buildings. From carbon calculation to comfort, architects have resources at their fingertips to streamline the design process and meet or beat client expectations. This webinar explores the intersection of sustainability, technology, and business outcomes in modern construction and design. Participants will learn to leverage advanced tools and material innovations to optimize energy use, reduce waste, and improve overall building performance. The webinar emphasizes Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) and highlights sustainable solutions that contribute to occupant well-being, code compliance, and long-term economic benefits. Through real-world applications, attendees will gain insights into designing resilient, high-performing spaces that meet evolving industry demands.

The end of the presentation will feature a Q&A session with the presenters to discuss key points from the webinar.
