The Arcadis 2024 International Construction Costs report calculates an index using 20 building types, such as residential, commercial and public sector, and takes into account #construction costs and market conditions. The results? Three American cities are listed in the top 10 as most expensive in the world for construction. They are: * City of New York is #5 * City and County of San Francisco is #6 * City of Philadelphia is #7 Fortunately, using #modern #buildingmaterials like #EIFS with Drainage (e.g. Exterior Insulation Finish Systems) are a very tangible way for #architects, #designers, #engineers, #developers, #buildingowners and #governmentofficials to control #costs in #newconstruction and #renovation. But don't take my word for it. Information compiled by RSMeans Data from Gordian, the authoritative subscription-based construction costs firm, shows that the installed cost of EIFS are significantly less than other, #heavyweight cladding options like #curtainwall, #stone, #precast and #brick. In fact, the latest, 2Q24 data shows that walls clad in brick veneer with #steel backup are 68% more expensive than similar EIFS walls on 3-story, 6-story, and 15-story newly constructed apartment buildings on a national basis. Other cost highlights can be found at the site of the EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA) association right here https://lnkd.in/ekQwU-3v Since the "I" in "EIFS" stands for insulation, it is no surprise that EIFS have always met the continuous insulation requirements (e.g. ASHRAE 90.1) mandated by the International Code Council's International Energy Conservation Code ever since they came into effect in 2013. Here's a case study published by Habitat Magazine that shows EIFS in a #retrofit application in Brooklyn, https://lnkd.in/dGrwcrPV With more finishes than ever before, one can see some great examples of EIFS projects from all over #northamerica at EIMA's photo gallery. https://lnkd.in/ddjUwqxS www.eima.com #eima #architecture #design #constructioncosts #financialvalue #buildingperformance #sustainability #energyefficiency

The new BC Building Code for 2024 came into effect in March 2024. The ASHRAE version has been updated from 2007 to 2016, aligning it with the requirements of LEED v4.1 and WELL v2. In addition to ventilation requirements, it's also noteworthy that: Enabling Mass Timber Construction: The code now includes provisions for the construction of mass timber buildings, reflecting advancements in building technology and materials. Cooling Requirements: There’s a new requirement for residential buildings to provide at least one living space that does not exceed 26 degrees Celsius, ensuring better living conditions during hot weather.
