AIA Wilmington - Firm Crawl and Happy Hour
Once you are on Switchyard Road, continue until you cross the railroad tracks, then continue straight down the gravel driveway. Feel free to park along the gravel driveway or in the gravel lot at the end of the drive. Kersting Architecture's office is on the second floor of the building to the left. It is the first door at the top of the stairs.
AIA NC - August O.W.L.S. Webinar with CRMCA
This educational session delves into the cradle-to-gate process of concrete—the lifecycle stages from raw material extraction to the moment it leaves the production facility. Jessica Wilson, Director of Technical Services at Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and guest expert, Eric Koehler, of Titan America, will provide a comprehensive overview of the material inputs, manufacturing processes, and embodied carbon associated with concrete production. 1.5. HSW
Climate Symposium
For years, the Climate Symposium has brought together design professionals, scientists, and community leaders to tackle the biggest questions facing our built environment. Now, that legacy continues—as part of Aspire 2025.
By joining forces with North Carolina’s premier architecture and design conference, we’re growing the conversation while keeping the focused, in-depth programming you value most.
AIA NC - October O.W.L.S. Webinar with Maxson Associates
This course provides architects with a comprehensive understanding of large operable glass wall systems, with a specific focus on how these systems contribute to occupant health, safety, and welfare. Participants will learn how folding, sliding, and pivot door systems can enhance natural daylighting, ventilation, thermal comfort, and spatial flexibility—key factors in promoting indoor environmental quality and occupant well-being. Through real-world project examples, attendees will examine how thoughtful integration of these systems supports both aesthetic goals and essential functional needs in code-compliant design. 1.5. HSW
AIA NC - COTE Program 1: Indoor airPLUS and Green Built Homes
This course explores indoor air quality through the lens of two commonly available certification programs in North Carolina. The first hour of the course focuses on the EPA's Indoor AirPlus certification program. The general structure and process of the program is described, followed by a description of the point categories and strategies needed to qualify for the program. The second hour of the course describes the Greenbuilt Homes program, which is a North Carolina-based program that encompasses all aspects of green building. This presentation focuses specifically on that program's indoor air quality related pre-requisites and optional point category. Topics include: radon, combustion safety, VOCs, formaldehyde, ventilation systems, and moisture management.
2 HSW Hours
AIA NC - COTE Program 2: Energy Star v. 3.2 For Contractors and Architects
This course is designed to give architects and contractors a broad understanding of the Energy Star new homes program as well as a deeper understanding of how design decisions come together into a package that will pass the stricter version 3.2 of the program. The first hour of the course focuses on how the Energy Star program is structured, what versions mean, and how Energy Star implements them to continuously improve energy efficiency. It describes the checklists and some common mechanics and pitfalls to all the versions. The second hour takes a deeper dive into four prototypical house types and shows how project teams might make a package of design decisions about insulation, windows, mechanical equipment, and appliances that all comes together to achieve a passing score for this challenging program.

AIA NC - Regenerative Design
We have been very fortunate in having firms within our state and region with expertise in advanced practice models and solutions, willing to share details of their professional service offerings. For this program, HDR's Sustainability Design Leader, Eileen Gohr is sharing their approach to "Regenerative Design," which provides a holistic view of performance metrics that should be at the center of design. The program will bring into focus key design goals allowing us to explore net positive impacts, set achievable goals against existing benchmarks, and consider each of our projects in their broader context.
