Today and tomorrow, Aimee Sanborn, AIA, NCARB, our historic tax credit and adaptive reuse expert, will be attending the IPED Annual Historic Tax Credit Summit. The Summit's program will explore the economic stimulating, cost-efficient, and inherently sustainable efforts of repurposing our existing historic building stock for new commercial and residential purposes. If you're also attending, or would simply like to learn more about Premier's expertise and capabilities with historic conservation and adaptive reuse, connect with Aimee through her profile or the code below. #HistoricTaxCredit #HistoricBuildings #AdaptiveReuse #Renovation #Conversion #Architecture #Architects #ArchitecturalDesign

Join us tomorrow to learn how transitioning to structural timber is key to achieving net zero.

Mass timber is revolutionizing construction, and Ben Gregory, featured in the Woolwich Observer, is at the forefront of this innovation. As the lead architect for Waterloo Region’s first mass timber building, Ben shares his insights on this sustainable and aesthetically pleasing method. He highlights the environmental benefits, rapid construction, and the calming, natural atmosphere created by mass timber. Explore how this method is changing the game for future developments! 🔗 Read more in the Woolwich Observer - https://lnkd.in/gkkqxjhe

Carbon prices are a key policy tool to mitigate climate change, including those emitted by constructing and maintaining buildings. The ACC is a multi disciplinary group which also includes architects and actuaries. In this ACC article Tim den Dekker and Roelof Coertze explore whether the carbon prices that are assumed in the NGFS scenarios are high enough to steer real estate investment decisions towards lower carbon design alternatives. https://lnkd.in/dpsWzkr6 #carboncredits #carbonpricing #buildingindustry #netzero #actuary #architect Louise Pryor Simon Sturgis Mike Clark Colin Wilson Martin Pike Paul Pritchard Ian Hally Kateryna Katyukha Swiegers Andrew Kitchen FIA Neil Dissanayake Gowri Kotur Faisal Zai Alastair Gilg Junaid Iqbal Andrew Smith

In mass timber construction, everything is exposed, therefore thoughtful placement of mechanical and electrical components is imperative. This level of attention to detail has shifted the paradigm of design towards craftsmanship rather than mere functionality. As a result, innovative design solutions have emerged as a pivotal driver in the success of mass timber projects. Detailed design considerations, especially regarding mechanical and electrical systems, transform construction into a craft that elevates the overall quality and appeal of modern workplaces. Additionally, the growing need for sustainable and environmentally friendly building practices and materials, particularly regarding the reduction of embodied carbon, makes mass timber adoption a great alternative towards a greener future. #InternationalMassTimberConference #Innovation #FutureofConstruction #Sustainability
