Today ⏰ 12:00 pm EST/ 9:00 am PST ✅ 101 Series: Can we Eliminate Heating and A/C? 🗣️ Galen Staengl of Staengl Engineering Join us for an exploration into the possibilities of eliminating traditional heating and cooling systems in building design. At our June 101 event we will explore the outcome of significantly reducing heating loads. This approach allows for the elimination of conventional heating systems, relying instead on optimized ventilation for minimal heating needs. But how does this translate to the diverse climate zones across the United States, and what implications does it have for various building types? Join us 👉👉 https://ow.ly/PyrY50RYO5g

#365DaysofSustainability, Day 122: Energy modeling is one of Emerald’s most frequently requested service – it helps design teams for new construction and major renovation understand the energy impact of key design decisions from orientation to HVAC selection to insulation and envelope materials. It also helps existing buildings understand how performance stacks up against others. That’s why The Collaborative leverages modeling for its projects and did so at a recent project at Baldwin Wallace University! #EnergyImpacts #EnergyPerformance #SustainableUniversities

We recently took part in Architecture Today's latest webinar on designing sustainable, employee-centric warehouses. We focused on the technical and regulatory challenges of integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into industrial buildings and the solutions we can offer to address these issues.

Designing for Impact: Enhancing Building Performance Through Early-Stage Analysis This whitepaper explores the importance of incorporating energy modeling from the earliest design phases. As part of a whole-life building performance approach, this can ensure that buildings meet high performance and efficiency standards throughout their lifecycle. #Chaos #Enscape #EnscapeImpact #EnergyModeling #SustainableDesign #EarlyStageAnalysis #GreenBuilding #ArchitecturalDesign #blog #BuildingSustainability

To help reduce the amount of energy our properties use, our design teams are:   1. Moving from gas boilers to air source heat pumps 🌥 2. Reducing heat loss, through a building fabric approach, ensuring our buildings respond to environmental changes ☀ 3. Improving insulation and our hot water systems 🚿 4. Improving the quality of construction, commission and handover of our properties to reduce any performance gaps 🏗   Read more: https://lnkd.in/ejX7MW6P We're minimising the amount of energy our buildings use, aligning with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) #2030ClimateChallenge targets. We aspire to keep our residents and employees comfortable, healthy and happy in our properties. To do so, we need to better understand how our buildings work.   Our building designs and the number of people living in the space has an impact on our energy and thermal performance.   Nicholas Pigula, James Tiernan, Chloe Lloyd PIEMA #BigEnergySavingWeek #SustainableConstruction #SustainableDevelopment

Enhance Your Retrofit Skills for Older and Traditional Buildings 🏛️ This 2-day course is essential for Retrofit Assessors, Designers, and Coordinators working on properties built before 1919 or other vulnerable buildings. Whether you're already working in construction or housing or looking to expand your expertise, this qualification is for you! 🔍 What you’ll learn: ✅ Identify the unique characteristics of older and traditional buildings ✅ Assess energy efficiency options specific to these properties ✅ Make informed recommendations for improving energy efficiency while preserving the building's integrity Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFqJcDan #EnergyEfficiency #RetrofitAssessors #Sustainability #OlderBuildings #GreenSkillsAcademy #NetZero2030 #RetrofitCoordination

It makes perfect sense to upgrade your heating when you're renovating. So why not go zero carbon and install a heat pump? Looking forward to discussing how to make that simple for the construction sector with Mark Hood at ZERO Construct's virtual conference tomorrow.

How AEC industry help the Environment and Save Energy? 1. Sustainable Building Practices 2. Biophilic Designs 3. Passivhaus Standards 4. Energy Efficiency and Water Management 5. Carbon Neutral 6. Green Infrastructure and Rewilding 7. Life Cycle Analysis of Building Materials 8. Restorative and Reversible Design 9. Off-Site Construction Architects are actively working towards helping the environment and saving energy through their designs. Their efforts towards designing greener buildings and advocation for saving the environment in front of stakeholders are slowly changing the building industry for good. #earthday #wesupportenvironment

Carbon Assessment Basics for Buildings, sponsored by: Versico Roofing Systems Building Enclosure was recently joined by Daniel Overbey, AIA, NCARB, LEED Fellow, WELL AP. Dan is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Ball State University and the Director of Sustainability for Browning Day in Indianapolis. He joined us to chat about some trends in sustainability and how this ties into LEED v5. As we know, LEED v5 is going to call for a Carbon Assessment. So, what is a carbon assessment? What are the tools and what does it entail? Listen in as Dan tells us what gets assessed in an assessment and how this differs from energy modeling. #ad https://lnkd.in/gcix-Fpf
