From Awareness to Action: A Practical Guide to Decarbonization and Environmental Compliance
Hosted by Jared Curtis | 1h 2m 16s
About this webinar Multiple waves of economic and regulatory influence are pushing the building industry to decarbonize. In New York City, for example, building operations are responsible for 71% of greenhouse gas emissions. And starting in 2024, New York City’s Local Law 97, or Climate Mobilization Act, will establish fines on buildings that do not meet energy efficiency requirements. Across the country, the largest cities are setting ambitious decarbonization targets for themselves. The leaders of these cities see real estate regulation as one of their most powerful tools in their decarbonization efforts. In this course, you will learn how to navigate the impacts of local regulations, evolving tenant demands, and shifting priorities in real estate capital markets. You’ll better understand the implications of climate legislation at local, state, and federal levels, learn potential strategies to assess energy and carbon footprints, and see how to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of building occupants and the local community. Participants in this course will learn more about cutting-edge tools and technologies to gain situational awareness of assets and establish sustainability baselines. What you’ll learn Explore tools and technologies available to gain situational awareness of assets and establish a baseline for future sustainability efforts. Discover how to manage health and safety priorities on these types of sites as well as how to maximize the well-being of the public and future building occupants. Identify opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency in buildings, and comprehend the general strategies available to protect the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants through the use of reality capture and existing conditions documentation. Understand the implications of climate legislation that has recently been passed at the local, state, and federal levels. Learn strategies to assess and measure the energy and carbon footprint of buildings, and discover how to reduce health and safety risks for both building occupants and the local community in doing so. 1 LU | HSW Credit Your credit will be administered within one week of course completion.

How to Protect Your Communities from Water Main Breaks, Cross Bores, and Overflows
Hosted by Michael Wheeler | 1h 11s
About this webinar Whether it’s a leak in a water line, a cross bored sewer pipe, or a decaying storm drain, your water and wastewater infrastructure is under constant threat. However, these risks can be mitigated if you have the proper procedures in place. This continuing education webinar provides the knowledge that water and wastewater professionals need to tackle non-revenue water loss, cross bores, and other threats to water & wastewater infrastructure. From routine water loss surveys, to pre and post-directional drilling inspections, participants will learn how to address vulnerabilities to keep their water and wastewater systems running at peak efficiency. What you’ll learn In this webinar, you will learn: How to help clients detect and eliminate non-revenue water loss How to mitigate the risks of cross bores How to create routine maintenance plans The value of locating/mapping infrastructure Credit: 1 PDH / CPC A brief quiz will follow the webinar. PDH / CPC credits are not awarded until the course is completed and the quiz is passed. Your credit will be administered within one week of course completion.

Risk Management with Reality Capture
Hosted by Amanda Zaslow | 1h 22m 43s
About this webinar In this course, the team from GPRS will provide course participants with the information they need to manage risk through the use of reality capture technologies. The team from GPRS will address common questions and misconceptions related to the use of 3D laser scanning, while also providing a deeper dive into how these resources can allow architects to focus on what they do best and take their work to the next level. By completing this course, you will better understand how to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants of the built environment, as well as that of project team members. What you’ll learn Learning Objective 1: Discover how to reduce health and safety risks for both building occupants and project team members while working on an existing, operating building. Learning Objective 2: Learn how to manage risks related to existing vacant buildings, including how to identify issues that may pose potential harm to the welfare of future occupants of the building. Learning Objective 3: Gain insight about the challenges of working on active construction sites, and discover how to manage health and safety priorities on these types of sites as well as how to reduce potential safety risks to the public and future building occupants. Learning Objective 4: Comprehend the general risk management strategies available to protect the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants through the use of reality capture and existing conditions documentation. 1.5 LU | HSW Credits Your credits will be administered within one week of course completion.

Start Accurate Stay Accurate: Laser Scanning and BIM
Hosted by Philip Smith, Conor Samuels | 1h 20m 17s
About this webinar In this short course, we will illustrate how 3D laser scanning, point clouds, and BIM can be used to reduce risk and add value to projects in the building industry. Subject Matter Experts from the team at GPRS will provide participants with the information they need to get the most out of their as-built’s and existing conditions documentation. They’ll address common questions and misconceptions related to the use of 3D laser scanning and BIM, while also providing a deep dive into the value of these resources. Course participants will complete this session with a thorough understanding of how to establish a mutual, accurate point of departure on their projects. What you’ll learn Discover the options that professionals have available to them to gather accurate data about a building, its systems, and its context Learn how to create, use, and access point cloud data in a digital environment Gain insight about the historical evolution of architectural drafting from hand-drawing to BIM Comprehend the theory and process of building a model from point cloud data, as well as how BIM can be used across the lifecycle of a building 1 LU Credit Your credit will be administered within one week of course completion.

The Benefits of Mapping & Modeling
Hosted by Tyler Zak, Amanda Zaslow | 1h
About this webinar In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of reality capture, utility locating, concrete scanning, 2D mapping, and 3D modeling. You’ll explore how advanced technologies like LiDAR, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and electromagnetic (EM) locators are used to digitize and visualize your space, both above and below-ground. You will learn how these tools can support safe, efficient, and cost-effective design and construction workflows. Through real-world case studies and interactive demonstrations, you will discover how accurate data can streamline collaboration, reduce risk, and keep your project running on time. This course will help you understand and apply advanced mapping and modeling techniques to make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. What you’ll learn Gain a clear understanding of how reality capture, utility locating, and concrete scanning are conducted on a jobsite, and how the resulting deliverables are created to support informed decision-making, enhance confidence, and reduce project risk Explore how 3D BIM models streamline collaboration and reduce clashes and rework Recognize how mapping and modeling deliverables can support safe, efficient, and cost-effective design and construction workflows Demonstrate how integrating above and below-ground documentation into a centralized platform supports decision-making throughout the project lifecycle 1 LU | HSW Credit Your credit will be administered within one week of course completion.
