Mark your calendars for the next ROCKonnect webinar. On Tuesday, October 29, we’ll be doing a deep dive into all things related to EIFS! NYC’s AEC community is paying close attention to this topic in light of code changes that will impact the design of exterior wall systems – notably, building for better fire resilience. But it’s something architects and specifiers everywhere can learn from. Join the online session for a chance to earn up to 3 CE credits. There will be presentations from Bill Egan – the recognized authority on EIFS – as well as ROCKWOOL North America's own team of experts. Together they’ll be covering: 📌 How stone wool provides a solution to comply with the new fire blocking provisions within the 2022 New York City Building Code and other revisions related to exterior wall coverings with combustible components 📌 A look at EIFS as the original perfect wall assembly that provides compliance with the four control layers 📌 Ways to integrate stone wool into EIFS in residential and commercial exterior wall assemblies And more! There will also be a live wet wall demonstration for even more insight into EIFS best practices. There are so many opportunities for learning. Register today. Space is limited! https://lnkd.in/e69gCUYq #ROCKWOOL #ROCKonnect #StoneWoolInsulation #BuildingScience #EIFS #Architects #BuildingCodes

Four ways to scale up the use of timber in retrofit projects. The ambition to deliver buildings more sustainably runs throughout the design and construction industries. We are all aware that the use of structural timber has gained traction in recent years. It is carbon-friendly, adaptable, lightweight but strong, with components constructed off-site, speeding up both delivery and installation. And equally importantly and less tangibly, it feels and typically smells good and adds a visual warmth to a space...

Staying Active and Passive at the same time can be quite contradictory in real-time, but we at Earthenhive endeavor to juggle both! We tap into natures active elements at the very building site to bring life into your buildings and spaces. Our passive design strategies rely on harnessing the salient and inherent features of our building site, where we gauge the topography, geology, climate, and wind patterns and curate our design to ensure that you thrive in high-performance buildings. We proudly assure you that our passive design strategies don't meddle, tamper, and impact the rawness of nature! #earthenhive #earthenhivearchitects #ecofriendlyarchitecture #sustainablearchitecture #architects #architectsbangalore #bestarchitect #ecofriendlyarchitects #sustainablearchitects
