Summer Lab Reports | Field Notes Part II | PHA Live!

part 2 field

Earlier this summer, small groups of practitioners gathered to explore some of the biggest questions facing high-performance buildings today. Now we’ve opened the doors again — this time with a focused look at Fire-Resilient Design and Phased Retrofits of Single Family buildings as well as Multifamily & Large Buildings.

At Field Notes: Summer Lab Report, Part II, you’ll hear directly from:

-Lauren Shadid on Fire-Resilient Design

-Mark Attard reporting from Phased Retrofits: Single Family Lab One -Jennifer Childs representing Phased Retrofits: Single Family Lab Two

-Nidhi Shah sharing insights from Phased Retrofits: Multifamily & Large Buildings

These practitioners have spent the season debating, testing, and learning together — and they’re ready to share what they’ve discovered.

If you’re curious about what’s next for high-performance building, this event is for you. Architects, engineers, builders, policymakers, educators, students, anyone invested in resilient, sustainable design will walk away with new insights and connections.

You don’t need to have been part of the summer Labs. Just bring your curiosity and get ready to learn from the inside conversations that have been shaping the field this season.
