🚀 EPD's are The Matrix for sustainable construction! 📊 They contain all the data and insights to build better with less and unlock the potential for architects and engineers to reduce embodied carbon of the built environment. 🔍 But how to read the matrix and what solutions will help stakeholders along the value chain to navigate this information and make the smartest decisions? 🔵 Blue pill or 🔴 red pill? We made our choice and are now looking for Neo. Get in touch if it might be you! 🤝 At Holcim MAQER Ventures we are partnering with startups  to crack the code to empower architects and engineers to navigate these insights and to reinvent how the world builds. #HolcimMAQERVentures #EPD #SustainableConstruction

#3 of the 5 things you need to know about Bentley Sustainability- Transparency! We are an open book! In fact, we had the first EPD in our industry for broadloom back in 2012! And just last year we republished 22 new EPD‘s based on some material health improvements. These new EPDs reflect our much lower embodied carbon numbers, in several cases by more than, 50% reduction!

Transparency is key to green building, and you can’t accomplish sustainable design without knowing where your materials are coming from. That’s why the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) we pursue for our products include information on the environmental impacts of raw material acquisition, energy efficiency and material content, air emissions, soil and water impacts, and waste generation. We believe you should understand the full environmental impact of a product or system, which is why these declarations are vital to promoting the growth of sustainable production – and why our broadloom was the first to hold EPDs.

Do you know what LEED stands for? LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is essential for promoting sustainability in construction. It ensures that buildings meet rigorous standards in energy efficiency, water conservation, air quality, and reducing carbon footprints. LEED-certified projects not only benefit the environment but also offer cost savings through lower energy consumption and contribute to increased property value. #energyefficiency #energyefficient #energyefficienthomes #leed #enviromentallyfriendly #ecoconscious #ecoconstruction

Let's talk about LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. 🌿 It's a game-changer in sustainable construction, but it relies heavily on forms and checklists. 📒 Now, imagine seamlessly transitioning from traditional three-ring binders to the future with Taliho's document links! 🔗 Why burden your team with paperwork when you can simply scan a QR code, open up an MS drive, and breeze through the checklist? No more paper, just efficiency! 🌐 How do you envision sustainability in your projects? #LEEDconstruction #nomorepaper #efficiency

Belated World Environment Day reflections As an environmentalist, I firmly believe in merging sustainable practices with construction estimation and takeoff. Accurate data and advanced technologies enable us to optimize resource use and minimize environmental impact, paving the way for truly sustainable construction projects. Let’s prioritize eco-friendly practices to shape a greener future. #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #ConstructionTech #EcoFriendly #Sustainability #ProjectManagement #EnvironmentalImpact #BuildingTheFuture #InnovationInConstruction #EcoConstruction #worldenvironmentday2024 #construction #projecttakeoff #projectestimation

The pre-design stage offers a prime opportunity to embed sustainability at the core of a project. By conducting thorough site analysis, considering passive design strategies, and evaluating renewable energy options early on, architects and developers can lay a strong foundation for environmentally conscious building practices. Integrating sustainability from the outset not only minimizes environmental impact but also yields long-term benefits such as reduced operational costs and enhanced occupant well-being. Leveraging tools like life cycle assessment and environmental impact analysis during pre-design ensures that projects align with eco-friendly principles, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future in the built environment. #sustainability #construction #greenbuilding #التشييدـالمستدام

Discover how LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) boosts the sustainability and environmental performance of buildings. 🏅 Different LEED Levels From Certified to Platinum, learn about the requirements in energy efficiency, sustainable materials, indoor air quality, and innovative design. 📋 The Certification Process Understand the rigorous process, including documentation and onsite evaluations by accredited professionals. #LEED #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #EcoFriendly

Sustainability is at the core of our business. When we take on a build, we consider every eco-friendly construction solution. For commercial projects, we work closely with the stakeholders to give them cost-effective green materials and technology options. It’s not only better for the environment but energy-efficient designs and plans can many times help save money over time.
