Integrated Eco Strategy

Our founder, Charley Stevenson, shares his thoughts on sustainable building practices.

Data is the word du jour. At least in our little corner of the internet 👩🏻💻 We hail data as the solution to all our woes, but what if that data is everywhere … and nowhere you need it to be? That's the reality we're seeing in the building industry. Without a common framework for connecting sustainability data for products, we see different information in different places. This means we're wasting time, energy, and money and slowing progress — even as we put so much effort into trying to reduce the impacts of materials holistically. So, how do we save the data, save the time, and — idk, maybe save the day? 🦸🏻 We have an idea 💡 >>> https://lnkd.in/gK5eadMe

People are hard.” So how do we convince project teams to step outside their comfort zones to incorporate increasing amounts of environmentally friendly products into their projects?" Discover Matt's key takeaway from the International Living Future Institute‘s LF24 Conference in IES' Perspectives. https://lnkd.in/gDwvwUBY #Red2Green #MateriallyBetter #Sustainability #TakeAction #RadicalCollaboration
