Holder Mathias Architects’ Post

Love this perspective from Sarah Mumaw, CPA in U.S. Green Building Council's newest USGBC+ article: “Doing the right thing, through a sustainability lens, means we remain committed to thoughtful and responsible operations, which contributes to positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities in which we live, work and play.”

The 'Circular Economy' approach to production, waste reduction and consumption is as necessary as it is transformative, but it is one that can only function effectively when underpinned by trust — trust that the waste products circulating within the economy are safe, trust they are free of hazardous materials and trust that their origins can be traced and certified. It's great to be a part of this stellar lineup to discuss how we can move forward as an industry and provide more room and appetite for circular products, while maintaining compliance and public trust. Looking forward to seeing you there!!

SILLMAN is passionate about creating environmentally responsible designs. That’s why we sent one of our own sustainability enthusiasts, Project Manager Katy Hamilton, across the country to attend the 2024 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo last week in Philadelphia. The event brought together industry leaders to showcase the latest in green building, including LEED v5, decarbonization strategies, and passive house principles. It was inspiring to see so many local sustainable design leaders from the greater San Diego area in attendance including Colleen F., Elena Popescu, Daniele Horton, CRE®, Jessica Joelson, CPA, SFP (she/her), and John M. Ambert, highlighting how our local community contributes meaningfully to the global sustainability conversation. Aside from the great local showing, Katy’s favorite takeaway was learning more about the Los Angeles Community College District’s ambitious decarbonization plan, setting a new standard for sustainability in institutional projects. #SILLMAN #Greenbuild #sustainability

As I pack my bags for #Greenbuild in Philadelphia next week I can’t help but think about the last time we all gathered in Philly in 2013. #LEEDv4 was released, Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker, and Bon Jovi was the musical guest (be still my teenage heart). It was an exciting time infused with passion, Greenbuild is always the shot of inspiration that I didn’t even realize I needed. As I head to Philly this year, with the news that #LEEDv5 is coming in Q1 2025, the buzz of excitement with my sustainability peeps is palpable, though I do sense a touch of hesitation, maybe even fear with my broader industry peeps when it comes to LEEDv5. Not only has it been more than a decade since LEEDv4 was released, it’s been a quarter of a century since LEEDv1 first hit the scene in 1998. Each new version of LEED comes with a few growing pains and even more opportunity. LEED and I hit the building industry at nearly the same time, we were both young and wanted to make a difference in the world. We’ve been friends and confidants since day one, we have leaned on each other in the hard times and celebrated the good times. 25 years later, we are both still evolving to push past our comfort zone for progress that has a positive impact. When I look back at how far we’ve come, I am extremely proud of the progress we’ve made. When I look to the future, I know this fight is nowhere near over, there is so much more work to be done. Another thing I remember from Greenbuild 2013 was the CRAZY long check-in line, thankfully check in has been running smoothly the last few years and those lines seem to be a thing of the past. One thing is for sure, there is an extraordinary group of people gathering in Philly next week, this year maybe more so than any other, the timing could not be better. This is a group of people that have done and will continue to do great things, no matter the obstacles. Thanks to all of you that provide support and give me hope on a daily basis, I look forward to seeing you next week. Together, we will continue to do great things.

Congratulations PAE, it was so cool to tour this building with the brilliant engineer Karina Bonin, PE, WELL AP. One thing i found so encouraging was how many of the tenants of designing a #livingbuilding, align with best practices for building a #neuroinclusive work environment. Here are a few of the highlights that i noted: - Passive/radiant heating & cooling that reduces need for heavy airflow systems within the building (commercial HVAC systems are a significant contributor to sensory overwhelm in office spaces.) - Maximizing natural lighting and avoiding fluorescent light in the facility. - Sound baffling technology in all the open spaces to minimize harsh acoustics. - Multiple climates (temperature) intentionally designed in different working areas to allow individuals the choice to work in a climate that best suits them. Another interesting fact, many of these tenants are also used in trauma informed design. Its amazing and perhaps not unexpected that no matter what lens you are looking through, building wellness into a physical environment has shared themes and practices that help to benefit everyone!

Sustainability is a top priority for many in the construction industry, and iconic green buildings offer great examples of the significant environmental, economic, and societal benefits sustainable buildings provide. Have you been to any of these iconic green buildings? Which ones would you draw inspiration from? #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuildings #Sustainability
