In green building, “sustainability” is often misunderstood or lacks clear associations. As our Associate Principal and National Sustainable Design Leader Daniel Jaconetti suggests, breaking it into components can make it easier to reveals what stakeholders truly value. Instead of asking about sustainability, consider these questions: • How important is the health impact of workplace materials? • Does indoor air quality affect your daily experience? • Are you concerned about workplace water quality? Green building is more than just checking off sustainable design boxes—it’s about addressing the issues that truly matter to the people who will be impacted. https://bit.ly/40K3QTC #HEDAdvances #SustainableDesign #GreenBuilding #SustainableDevelopment

With executive orders mandating a return to in-person work, the conversation around office culture is more urgent than ever. The traditional office model no longer reflects the realities of a post-COVID world and outdated spaces fail to meet today’s workforce needs. For forward-thinking organizations, the goal isn’t enforcing rigid schedules—it’s fostering collaboration and connection to drive innovation. Supporting a hybrid workforce means reimagining office spaces with integrative designs, breakout areas and collaboration hubs. Achieving this transformation calls for both strategic planning and thoughtful design expertise. Workplace Sector Leader Tim Gawel shares five alternative models to help organizations create hybrid-ready workspaces. https://bit.ly/4jwQQb6 #Architecture #OfficeInteriors #FutureofWork #WorkplaceDesign
