CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY The construction industry has one of the largest carbon footprints, accounting for around 40% of global carbon emissions. As rising temperatures lead to extreme weather, the industry’s role in climate resilience has become critical to preserving opportunities for future generations. Green technologies and energy-efficient methods are becoming essential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This transition is also spurring innovation in sustainable architecture, resulting in a more resilient built environment. Sika has responded to this 𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱, to the need for circularity, by introducing reCO2ver® technology, which reuses concrete demolition waste, recovers raw materials, and binds CO2 to create new, high-quality concrete. In addition, the company has developed innovative products, such as specific additives, which can facilitate a clinker reduction in cement production by up to 50%, and a water-based coating that uses renewable feedstocks to reduce its carbon footprint. #sika #megatrends #sikausa #climatechange #sustainability

The city of Boulder, CO identified that their outdated fire station was in dire need of a rebuild and relocation in order to better serve the community in terms of response time and efficiency. Davis Partnership Architects were brought into being the new vision of Fire Station #3 to life and tackled the challenges of matching the community and fire department’s needs and wants. The new location now offers an industry response time of four minutes to a portion of the city that was not covered. The building also achieved its goal of net zero energy consumption by following LEED best practices to incorporate low-maintenance, highly durable building materials, equipment, and finishes. American Hydrotech, Inc. is proud to have our Garden Roof® Assembly protecting roughly 5,000 square feet of occupied space and excited that the firefighters can take a break to enjoy the view from their own private amenity deck. The vegetated roof will also help to reduce and delay stormwater runoff, mitigate the urban heat island effect, increase the biodiversity of the area, reduce heating and cooling costs, and extend the life of the roof.

The Ledger Office Building in Bentonville, AR offers a fresh approach to connecting the workplace with the community. Their solution, is the world’s first bikeable building designed to be community-centric by focusing on providing public access and amenities in the heart of Downtown Bentonville. The six-story high-rise structure features a 3/8th-mile-long bike ramp that winds up and around the building from the ground to the sixth floor. This project required a trusted solution to construct ramps that functioned simultaneously as sidewalks, roofs, and bike paths while also being weather-resistant and matching the building’s aesthetic. American Hydrotech, Inc. is proud to have been called in to provide Monolithic Membrane 6125® in a split slab assembly providing watertightness across 42,000 square feet to ensure the integrity of the building envelope. Winding up the bike path you will find various art installations of mosaic insects embedded into the concrete by the artist Stefan Sagmeister.

The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) is an exciting and unique new venue for performances by all theater disciplines and other gatherings at the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan. American Hydrotech, Inc. was contacted by the envelope consultant Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. to assist in the design and execution of a Protected Membrane Roof (PMR) Assembly functioning to meet multiple project goals. Glacier White concrete pavers on adjustable height pedestals would act as the ballasting overburden for the assembly and provide high solar reflectance to meet cool roofing goals.
