The trend of converting existing buildings to alternative uses has been on the rise for the past 20 years. But in 2024, it’s projected to break records. From a construction standpoint, these projects may provide scheduling and cost reductions.

WZMH Architects’s Recladding Guide was featured recently in a The Daily Commercial News article that discusses the environmental and economic benefits of recladding. The article notes that retrofitting an existing building can save 50% to 75% of the construction-related embodied carbon when compared to new construction. Once a building is retrofitted, its operational emissions could be reduced by nearly 85%. Don't miss this compelling read that delves into how upgrades to existing facades can help building owners keep pace with increasingly stringent carbon emissions regulations while improving occupant well-being. ‘Climate and Construction: The case for recladding buildings to reduce carbons’, read full article here - https://lnkd.in/gTF4JP9j John Bleasby, Jennifer Davis, OAA, NSAA, MRAIC, Nicola Casciato, Zenon Radewych, Len Abelman, Richard Myers, Harrison Chan, Ted DuArte, Justin Young, Angelina Murashka #wzmh #wzmharchitects #reclad #publication #buildingrenewal #deepretrofit #netzero #dailycommercialnews #construction

From traditional foundations to a sustainable future ♻️ When we think of construction, an image of powerful machinery, solid structures and functionality often comes to mind. However, a close look at the construction scene of recent decades reveals not only a shift in architecture and design, but also a revolution in the way we think about our impact on the planet. The origins of sustainable construction date back to the 1970s. In the 20th century. It was then when people started to realise how dangerous the practices that seem inevitable in the construction industry can be. 🔍 The following decades were a period of research, analysis and attempts to understand how our buildings affect the planet. Today, sustainable construction is not just about trends and temporary fads. This is an integral part of the construction process. It includes the use of renewable materials, efficient energy management, waste reduction and minimal environmental impact design.
