04.20.10: ASCE SEI Guide: Sustainability for Structural Engineers
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
Sustainable design is not a toolbox of new technologies, but rather a change in the process of design. It requires consultants to play a more open-minded part in informing the choices involved in creating a building while more thoughtfully considering its long-term impact on the environment.
This presentation will cover:
• Some unifying concepts fundamental to sustainable design.
• New technologies and strategies that can be applied to structural design.
• Terms and approaches to sustainable solutions, which may have structural impact.
The combination of these varied ideas & tools is what will enable a consultant to contribute effectively to the design team’s sustainable design of the built environment.
Presenter: Robert C. Field, P.E., LEED AP
Associate, Robert Silman Associates DC
Mr. Field is a LEED Accredited Professional with over 15 years of technical experience designing and supervising the design of complex educational, research, commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential projects of structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, light gauge steel and timber.
