Content Description

Bird-Friendly Building Design, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: AB-EN-199301-0627

American Bird Conservancy People are captivated by birds, and for many, they hold intrinsic value. However, millions of birds collide with glass every year, significantly impacting avian populations. This course examines the ecological services that birds perform that impact human wellness and safety and reviews how bird-friendly glass can mitigate collisions. Various bird-friendly glass examples are also identified, and design guidelines and existing legislation mandating bird-friendly buildings is discussed. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the ecological services that birds perform that directlyimpact human wellness and safety.
  • Discuss aspects of the built environment that cause bird mortality and, in turn,an adverse effect on ecosystems people depend on.
  • Review how bird-friendly glass mitigates bird collisions, making buildings more sustainable.
  • Examine research reports, materials, and guidelines, as well as existing and pending legislation at federal, state, and municipal levels, mandating bird-friendly buildings.
  • Identify bird-friendly design and construction methods that ultimately serve occupant wellness and the environment.

Faculty BIO

Christine Sheppard earned her BA and PhD at Cornell. Her first job was at the Bronx Zoo, where she started as an intern and ended as Curator of Birds. In 2007, Dr. Sheppard joined the board of the Bird-Safe Glass Foundation as science advisor. She conducts basic research into the effectiveness of different patterns in preventing bird collisions. In 2009, she moved to the American Bird Conservancy as Collisions Program Manager and has recently published a revised, second edition of "Bird-Friendly Building Design." She has created AIA continuing education classes on bird-friendly design, helped create San Francisco's Standards for Bird-Safe Buildings, and was part of the team that developed the USGBC LEED pilot credit Bird Collision Deterrence.
