Velocity 65 achieved LEED Silver certification! Velocity 65 was certified under Browning Real Estate Partners’ LEED for Core & Shell Volume Program: Industrial Flex Prototype. Utilizing this prototype-based approach, the U.S. Green Building Council LEED Volume Program enables large-scale builders, owners, and managers to achieve consistency in green building improvements, earning LEED certification faster and at a lower cost than would be possible with individual building reviews.

Regulatory change can be painful in any industry. But how many times have you heard it described as "a new beginning"? We have - in the recent Voices in Construction Insight Panel organised by specialist construction marketers BCM Agency Ltd . The panellist concerned, David Aitchison of BCC Consultancy, made the point that many of the regulatory changes bring greater authority and stronger enforcement to the building control process, and will help deliver safer, better-quality, more sustainable buildings. We couldn't agree more, David! Read more of our thoughts in this short article ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eN7W3x8W #greenbuilding #buildingdesign #greenbuildings #heatpumps #newbuilds

Working toward a recognised certificate can be a great way to approach your sustainability and energy efficiency planning. BREEAM is a great example. Other certificates include LEED, CfSH, HQM, CEEQUAL and WELL. These certifications consider various aspects of building design, construction, and operation. 💡Multiphase can help design your systems to achieve the highest energy efficiencies possible, an important part of a successful certification application. #SustainabilityPlanning #Certificates #BREEAM #LEED #CfSH #CEEQUAL #WELL #EnergyEfficiency

Advancing Eco-Friendly Building with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) At The Offsite Guide, our dedication to sustainable construction drives us to the forefront of industry innovation, particularly through the use of offsite construction and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). These approaches are not merely alternative construction methods; they are transformative processes that redefine how we think about building in environmentally responsible ways. By integrating MMC, we empower the construction industry to develop structures that are not only energy-efficient but also significantly reduce environmental footprints. This commitment to green building demonstrates that sustainable practices can enhance operational efficiencies and offer long-term benefits to the community and the environment. Embrace the change with us as we continue to champion the shift towards sustainable building solutions that are designed to meet the demands of both today and the future. #SustainableConstruction #MMC #OffsiteBuilding #GreenFuture

Building Life Cycle Impact Reduction (BLCIR) is a concept that encompasses the entire lifespan of any given building considering a building's design, construction, operation, and demolition phases altogether. It evaluates all categories of impact, such as carbon footprint, water consumption, energy usage, and materials used in construction to help builders create more sustainable buildings.

The Arcadis International Construction Costs 2024 report reveals that the #lowcarbon building market is impacting construction costs. But what does this mean for building ownership costs? High-performance low carbon buildings offer low maintenance and operational costs, offsetting higher initial costs and reducing total ownership expenses. Following a few smart practices, like setting building performance expectations early, embracing iterative design and tracking operational costs, we can limit or avoid first costs. In our new blog from Elaine Gallagher Adams AIA, LEED AP, learn how low carbon buildings can be cost-effective with smart planning and design: https://okt.to/j4zvYI For more on this topic, check out the #ArcadisInternationalConstructionCosts 2024 report: https://okt.to/gOawBM
