As the demand for inclusive and sustainable design grows, architects and design professionals must find innovative ways to integrate accessibility with environmental responsibility. Designing for Accessibility and Sustainability: A Unified Approach explores how ADA compliance and sustainable design strategies can work together to create functional, efficient, and inclusive spaces for all users.


This webinar will examine the intersection of accessibility and sustainability, demonstrating how universal design principles align with green building practices to enhance usability and environmental performance. Participants will explore strategies for selecting sustainable materials, incorporating energy-efficient systems, and utilizing biophilic design to improve accessibility and occupant well-being. Through real-world case studies, attendees will gain insight into navigating regulatory requirements and aligning projects with industry certifications.


By the end of this session, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to implement adaptable design solutions that optimize resource efficiency, improve usability, and contribute to healthier, more resilient built environments. Whether you are an architect, designer, or industry professional, this webinar will provide the knowledge and tools to create spaces prioritizing accessibility and sustainability.
