AIAVT Membership: What Does it Look Like?

by Carol Miklos 

AIAVT membership is at an all-time high; the chapter has 286 Vermont resident members as of September 2016. By category, AIAVT has 213 architects, 22 emeritus architect members, and 51 associates. The counts are well up from the financial crisis period of 2007-09, when the chapter had 245 members, and from a decade prior to that time, when membership totaled 170. 

COMPARISON WITH OTHER NEW ENGLAND CHAPTERS 

To put this in some perspective, quite a few chapters across the U.S. are down in membership numbers from where they were in 2009. For example, in our own New England region, Rhode Island and Maine both have fewer members than they did in 2009. 

Something else that might come as a surprise is the fact that after AIA Massachusetts (which includes the Boston, Western Mass. and Central Mass. chapters) and AIA Connecticut, the New England chapter with the most members is none other than AIAVT. Here are actual membership counts: 

AIAMA   2475

AIACT    1277

AIAVT    286

AIARI     272

AIANH   265

AIAME   225 

DEMOGRAPHICS 

In terms of gender, of our 286 Vermont members in the architecture field, 79% are male; 21% are female. Compared with figures from 2007, this represents a slightly more gender-balanced chapter; back then 86% of members were male and just 14% were female. 

In terms of age, the breakdown is: 

25-29        (5%)

30-39        (13%)

40-49        (21%)

50-59        (25%)

60-69        (24%)

70 or over  (12%) 

These age statistics are, for the most part, reliable—but it should be noted that a few members declined to fill out the age field in the AIA national database! What can be determined is that our oldest living member is 98.

Wonder where Vermont members are geographically located? Fifty-six (56%) percent of our members reside in the northeast counties of Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle. Twenty-seven (27%) percent of our members reside in centrally-located counties/municipalities of the state—considered (for this story) to be Washington, Lamoille, Orange and Rutland counties, and the municipalities of Norwich and White River Junction. In the south of the state, in the counties of Bennington and Windham and regions of Windsor County (excluding Norwich and White River Junction), the chapter has 17% of its membership.  Membership in Orleans, Caledonia and Essex counties is less than 1%. 

Note: For the purposes of this story, it seemed more useful to consider the state map, highway system and driving distances from certain population centers rather than report geography strictly by county. 

ADDING IN AFFILIATE AND RECIPROCAL MEMBERS 

When we factor in our professional affiliate members in engineering, construction, building products and other related industries, as well as our reciprocal members (i.e., AIA members from chapters outside Vermont who pay our state dues), our membership count totals 340. 

Remember, a roster of AIAVT affiliates is on our website in the directory listings, under “Affiliates.” These are companies and individuals that have paid dues to support AIAVT and hope to do business with our architecture firms. 

SUMMARY 

All in all, membership counts are up, especially as compared with other New England chapters, which is positive for AIAVT health. AIAVT is excited about and thankful for your interest and support; we feel that it is an indication that we are providing services and programs that are of interest and value to members.  Not that we don’t know that we can always improve. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with ideas and suggestions.


Finalists in Montpelier 2030 Design Competition Include Several AIAVT Members

Net Zero Vermont, Inc. has announced the finalists for its Sustainable Montpelier 2030 Design Competition. After votes by Montpelier residents, workers, and visitors at both the group’s Main Street gallery and its website, as well as a review by a technical committee, the 20 entries showcased were pared down to five finalists. 

Valerie Fletcher of the Boston-based Institute for Human Centered Design and a member of the technical review panel said, "In my many years offering technical reviews and serving on juries for design competitions around the world, I have never experienced this kind of public response and engagement. It is heartening to see this level of interest, and I'm honored to be part of this exciting project."

Finalists have until December 2 to refine and enrich their concepts before they present again. Deb Sachs, executive director, Net Zero Vermont said, “We are incredibly proud of both the quality of the designs put forth and the community’s engagement in helping us decide on what now moves forward.”

The finalists are:

  • Gossens Temkin Collaborative: Montpelier. Composed of Gregg Gossens, AIA; Aron Temkin, AIA; and David Burke, this Vermont team combines experience with sustainable designs in community settings and urban design, park design, and low-income housing to create a unique vision for the future of Montpelier.

Sustainable Montpelier 2030 is the organization's first project.


Statute Compliance Re: Construction in Vermont—New Focus for Public Policy Committee

By Dan Goltzman, AIA 

Addressing code-related issues was the main priority among AIAVT members who responded to the Public Policy Committee’s (PPC) survey at the beginning of the year to determine its focus. The committee’s work so far has confirmed the importance placed on this issue, as it has proven to be a considerable effort with multiple challenges. 

The committee initially addressed the Department of Fire Safety’s (DFS) 2015 building code update. A call went out to the membership to comment on the proposed revisions and those comments, combined with committee members’ input, allowed us to work in concert with DFS to ensure suggestions from the architectural community were incorporated into the changes. On October 10, the 2015 Vermont Fire & Building Safety Code update was adopted (please read “Vermont Building Code Changes” elsewhere in this issue of AIAVT News). This endeavor represented a successful collaboration between DFS and AIAVT.

The PPC’s next effort, however, has proved more complex. Based on members’ observations and meetings with DFS, it came to light that the department was not consistently enforcing the statute requiring the use of licensed professionals for building. This issue has become the Public Policy Committee’s new focus. 

VT Statute Title 26, Chapter 3, Articles 121 through 124, requires licensed design professionals and stamped construction drawings for all building projects statewide, with the exception of one to four-family residences and related shed, storage or garages, farm buildings, barns, silos, sheds, equipment storage and farm animal housing and pre-engineered buildings (which are required to be stamped by a licensed professional in the appropriate field). 

AIAVT PPC members brought to DFS attention the fact that a construction “guidelines chart” that was posted on their web site could be interpreted by builders and owners in such a way that was not consistent with the Vermont statute. After review of the language, DFS agreed with this assessment and worked quickly to remove the chart from their web site. 

DFS leaders, who were enthusiastic about meeting with Committee members, consider themselves in a tough middle-ground position regarding the statute, facing pressure from owners, developers, builders and legislators—while simultaneously feeling underfunded. As a result, the department has been deciding—more or less on a case-by-case basis—which projects require a licensed professional and which do not. They have also developed an informal process whereby DFS staff may tell builders on-site, during building inspections, what to do to satisfy the code and thereafter consider such projects in compliance. This process tends to eliminate the involvement of a licensed professional as required by law. 

DFS leadership suggested that if the statute was enforced on every project as per the law, the extra review would create increased lead times, add to project costs, and be perceived as “anti-business.”  Lack of staff to manage what would be the total workload was again cited as an issue—with funding to hire new staff not likely in the foreseeable future. 

The Public Policy Committee’s position is to now work diligently with DFS to modify these practices. Our main goal is to have the statute enforced by the designated AHJs (authority having jurisdiction). AIAVT has offered to help advocate for additional funding for DFS to create additional reviewer positions and possibly even get an architect on DFS staff. 

In our discussions, the Committee has noted that drawing reviews take time whether licensed professionals are involved or not. Additionally, there exists the potential that builders and owners may feel that codes (e.g., life safety, energy) and the engagement of professionals can be ignored—believing or “hearing through the building grapevine” that permits can be easily obtained without strict adherence to process. What would happen if there was an accident or failure at a project where no stamped drawings were used? Where would the liability trail lead? 

DFS has been a willing partner to date in our shared goal of ensuring safety for Vermonters through the code adoption discussions and the Public Policy Committee is hopeful for success in this second effort. We are working towards a compromise that creates a state-wide permitting process beneficial to project owners and designers—one that keeps costs down, keeps lead times down, is transparent, complies with the Vermont statute, and has clearly defined deadlines. 

As professionals, we must do our part to be respected and valued—from ensuring submitted drawings are fully code-compliant, staying educated on current codes, keeping the most current versions of the codes in-house, and working with local AHJs to foster this very important relationship. 

Also, members can help the AIAVT effort by reporting about projects that may not be in compliance with the Vermont statute to Carol Miklos.


Licensing Summit Provides Insight on AXP and Transition from 4.0 to 5.0 ARE

This past August, Devin Bushey, Vermont’s AIA state component architect licensing co-advisor, attended the annual NCARB summit for licensing advisors throughout the U.S. The summit focused on two topics this year: the first topic was the transition from the Internship Development Program (IDP) to the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and the second was the transition from ARE 4.0 to the new exam, ARE 5.0, launching in November. 

For AIA associate members or architect members’ staff who are in the process of getting licensed, here, according to Bushey, is a summary of the key points: 

The biggest change in both AXP and ARE is the new categories. Rather than having 17 specific categories (as is the case in IDP) and seven exam sections in ARE 4.0 (that don’t relate to the IDP categories at all), NCARB has created six new broad categories for AXP that relate directly to the six exam divisions in 5.0. “Through this redesign, NCARB hopes to create a more efficient and effective path to licensure,” said Bushey. 

NCARB has also reduced the number of hours needed to complete AXP; the number is now 3,740. Candidates should note that some states will still require completion of the old 5,600 hours to receive initial licensure. For this reason, Bushey suggested that all candidates log hours until they have hit at least 5,600. This ensures reciprocity in the future. 

Now for important news about the ARE: The new exam will use updated software and won’t include the vignettes from 4.0. There will be new question types that attempt to create an exam more closely related to actual practice. NCARB is also offering financial incentives for the first 600 test takers of 5.0.

Some initial drawbacks regarding 5.0 include the fact that since the exam is new, there isn’t a wealth of knowledge or community support to draw from. Also, since the exam is brand new, the “cut-scores” have not been determined. This means that early test takers in 5.0 may have to wait (while these scores are being created) before receiving their results.

“The summit also provided information about some non-traditional paths to licensure,” said Bushey. Examples included people who have been practicing for decades without getting licensed, people coming from foreign countries, and people who may have let their NCARB record lapse or never had one to begin with. So, if anyone out there has considered becoming licensed but thought it was unattainable, please don’t hesitate to ask questions. 

For any questions regarding becoming licensed, contact Devin Bushey or licensing co-advisor Dave Mentzer

IMPORTANT DATES TO NOTE:
November 1, 2016 - ARE 5.0 Launches
June 30, 2018 - ARE 4.0 retires. No 4.0 exam divisions will be given past this date.

This year’s AIA New England Annual Meeting and Design Awards event was held in Portland, Maine. Two Vermont firms took home awards. 

Truex Cullins Architecture received a Merit Award for its “Ice Ark” project. Rolf Kielman, AIA; Josh Chafe, AIA; Andrew Chardain, Assoc. AIA; and Keith Nelson made up the team involved in the project. Ice Ark was featured in AIAVT News earlier in the year. Read more at ice ark and/or watch at: ice ark talk rolf kielman

Elizabeth Herrmann Architecture garnered a Merit Award for “microHOUSE,” a project that has received much attention in the last 11 months, including a 2015 AIAVT Citation Award and a feature in Design New England in its March/April 2016 issue.


Calling for Entries: Efficiency Vermont Best of the Best Awards

Awards season has arrived at Efficiency Vermont! Each fall, Vermont’s building design and construction community is invited to participate in the Best of the Best Awards, Efficiency Vermont’s annual competition that recognizes excellence in design approaches for energy efficiency across four major categories of new construction and retrofit projects in Vermont’s commercial and residential buildings. Best of the Best offers those in the industry an opportunity to share work with peers and gain recognition for projects that went above and beyond standard energy efficiency practices. 

The Commercial Building Design & Construction award category highlights innovative and integrated design approaches for energy efficiency in commercial, institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings. Entries are reviewed by a panel of judges and rated against a set of criteria including economics, design, enhanced performance, and presentation. An exciting update this year is the addition of a special category for multifamily buildings. While multifamily entries have always been accepted as part of the broader commercial category, this unique category will highlight multifamily projects separately, making it a great year to enter a project in this category. 

The Residential New Construction award category recognizes excellence in energy efficiency in new single family detached or attached homes (e.g., townhome or duplex up to four units). Projects are judged for demonstrating a comprehensive, whole-house approach to energy-efficient new construction and employing outstanding solutions to overcome energy-efficiency challenges. Entries will be considered for the Best of the Best in Residential New Construction, as well as Affordable Energy-Efficient Construction, and Partner of the Year. 

Complete details, including submission requirements and official entry forms, can be found at https://contractors.efficiencyvermont.com/bbd/awards. Entering is not only free, but also a great way to have your work recognized at Efficiency Vermont’s Better Buildings by Design conference (February 1 & 2, 2017), where all entries will be on display as part of the Best of the Best exhibit. There is no limit to the number of submissions accepted, and the entry deadline is November 18, 2016.  If you have any questions, please contact:

art by Architects

Reciprocal AIAVT member Ted Sheridan, AIA, CPHD, LEED AP of Ryall Porter Sheridan Architects creates prints using the oxidation of metals directly on to heavy weight printing and watercolor paper.  Iron, in particular, in object form, granules and powders provides a medium that can be combined with water, magnetism and gravity to create impressions of mass, force and flow.  The pieces are initially set up completely dry, but are then carefully submerged in water for periods ranging from days to weeks to “develop.”  As the metal oxidizes, it changes color and bleeds into the paper forming the final image. 

Uncontrollable currents in the water—and the natural tendency of the saturated paper to warp—create uncertainty in the process as the overall compositional organization gives way to the unpredictable behavior of the materials. 

Works from a new series by Sheridan, called Furrows, was recently featured in an exhibition at The Commons Gallery in Margaretville, NY. 


State of Vermont Building Code Changes

by Joel Page 

Some members may already be aware, but AIAVT thought it would be wise to ensure that everyone knew that on October 10, 2016 the Vermont Division of Fire Safety (DFS) adopted the 2015 version of the Fire and Building Safety Code. The 2012 version no longer applies. 

Inclusive in the new 2015 Fire and Building Safety Code is the adoption of the following nationally recognized codes:

  • NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 2015 edition
  • NFPA 1 Fire Code, 2015 edition
  • The International Building Code, IBC, 2015 edition
  • International Existing Building Code, IEBC, 2015 edition
  • National Board Inspection Code, NBIC, National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, 2015 

The State understands that there are many projects designed and soon to be permitted that are using the 2012 standards. To accommodate the transition there is a 180 day grace period that is described in section 11 on page 29 of the Fire and Building Safety Code. 

Additional information as well as down loadable documents can be found on the Division of Fire Safety web site (http://firesafety.vermont.gov/buildingcode/codes).
