SUMMARY:The Path to Bird-Safe Design & Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Glass collisions are a leading biodiversity concern today\, killing at least one billion birds annually in the US alone. This webinar examines the technical\, legislative\, and design pathways shaping the emerging bird-safe architecture standard. Participants will review the scientific basis for collision deterrence\, explore current requirements in LEED v5 and municipal legislation\, and evaluate real-world retrofit case studies such as McCormick Place in Chicago. Participants can expect to gain practical insights into bird-friendly design that align with sustainability goals and modern architectural aesthetics. \nBy the end of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the scope of bird–glass collisions using current mortality estimates and their effect on vulnerable species.\nRecognize legislative trends and LEED v5 requirements that address bird-safe design in new and existing buildings.\nDifferentiate between mitigation strategies (such as glass treatment and lighting policies) and assess their field-tested efficacy.\nApply practical design and policy solutions to reduce bird collisions in commercial and residential projects.\n\nThis webinar can be self-reported for one free general hour of LEED\, WELL\, and/or AIA continuing education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n						Register
