This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. This course explores how using concrete masonry units (CMU) in the built environment provides an integrated approach to climate-responsive design by simultaneously addressing three critical sustainability strategies: resilience, operational energy use, and embodied carbon reduction. Participants will examine how CMU construction offers inherent solutions to modern building challenges, from natural disasters and extreme weather events to energy conservation and carbon footprint reduction. The course demonstrates that CMU structures perform beyond code requirements without additional measures, providing durable, cost-effective buildings that support community resilience while contributing to low embodied carbon goals.

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. In today’s evolving architectural landscape, firms face increasing pressure from economic volatility, talent retention challenges, and shifting client expectations. This webinar explores how benchmarking empowers architecture leaders to meet these challenges with clarity and confidence.

We’ll walk through key findings from the newly released 2025 Architecture Benchmarking Report, built on real performance data from over 2,000 A&E firms and 46,000 active users. You’ll learn how firms are setting meaningful performance targets, tracking progress, and using benchmarking to guide smarter, faster decisions.

With two years of data, we’ll also explore emerging trends and how leading firms are using insights from tools like BQE CORE to drive measurable results, including higher revenue per FTE, increased profit percentage, and year-over-year revenue growth. Whether your goal is to improve operational efficiency, support long-term planning, or gain a competitive edge, this session will give you a practical framework for applying benchmarking in your own firm.
