Join Focus on Energyยฎ and AIA Wisconsin for a webinar on "Making Energy-Efficient Choices During Design: An Interactive Live Analysis"

Identifying energy efficiency measures while balancing real-world constraints such as client budgets and time constraints poses challenges to any project team.

This interactive course demonstrates how energy efficiency goalsโ€”when addressed beginning early in designโ€”can be successfully achieved, saving valuable resources. The session introduces how comparative analysis assists in achieving energy conservation goals alongside factors that drive energy use.

A case study building will be presented, including energy conservation strategies available for consideration. Participants will utilize live polling to assemble โ€œbundlesโ€ of selected energy efficiency measures to play out what-if scenarios, discussing the merits and challenges of each bundle. Facilitators will run live energy modeling simulations to show the results of several bundles.

Bundled results will be revealed alongside energy savings trends, dispelling common misconceptions about the link between budget and energy savings. Performance of the built case study building will be reviewed, and participants will receive an energy analysis infographic (PDF) of takeaways from the session along with their CE certificate.

Join the AIA Milwaukee Emerging Professionals committee for an ARE Study Session.

An AIA Wisconsin Emerging Professionals ARE Study Session at Lombardi Brewery in Milwaukee will bring together emerging professionals and ARE candidates for an evening focused on exam preparation, professional development, and networking.

The session will provide a relaxed environment for participants to review key ARE topics, share study strategies and resources, and discuss their experiences navigating the licensure process. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from peers at different stages of the exams while building connections with others pursuing licensure.

The goal is to establish a repeatable format for ARE study sessions and create opportunities for similar events throughout the year. By offering regular, accessible study sessions in different settings, AIA Wisconsin Emerging Professionals can provide ongoing support for one another while strengthening the local emerging professional community.

A message from our 2026 Bronze Partner, Design Engineers, MEPFT:

On World Architecture Day, weโ€™re taking a moment to celebrate the architects weโ€™re fortunate to collaborate with and the impact of the work we create together.

Architects bring vision, creativity, and a deep commitment to shaping spaces that inspire how people live, learn, and gather.
Engineers bring the systems, precision, and performance that help those ideas become lasting, functional environments.

As an AIA Wisconsin Partner, we continue to grow our presence in Wisconsin, and weโ€™ve been fortunate to learn, collaborate, and evolve alongside outstanding architectural partners across the state.

From UWโ€“La Crosse Graff Main Hall to Sun Prairie Public Library, UWโ€“Oshkosh Polk Library, and beyond, each project has been an opportunity to listen, adapt, and contribute to spaces that serve their communities.

Itโ€™s in the combination of these strengths that ideas become places people truly experience. Happy World Architecture Day from all of us at Design Engineers.
