As more companies commit to net-zero standards, here are some energy efficient approaches to consider to transform existing #lifesciences buildings or planned construction.

Clean Construction means creating a net zero carbon-built environment system that tackles the global impacts of the construction sector in a just way. Buro Happold helped draft the C40 Clean Construction Declaration, which commits to reducing the embodied emissions associated with the construction of buildings and infrastructure by 50% by 2030. We looked at six cities around the world through a series of reports that investigates ways to decarbonize the construction industry in local landscapes and economies, which would provide benefits locally and globally.

When it comes to roof systems, the devil is in the details. The complexity and science behind these systems are truly fascinating, and there’s always something new to learn. Recently, DTR Consulting Services, Inc. had the pleasure of diving deep into this topic with Erin Andes and Dustin Shaff from GAF discussing single-ply roof systems and their different performance qualities. Building Science is more than just a field of study; it's a passion for those who strive to improve our built environment. Discussing the latest advancements and techniques with experts like Erin and Dustin is always enlightening. Their insights help us understand how roof systems work and how they contribute to our buildings' overall health and sustainability. We extend heartfelt thanks to Erin and Dustin for sharing their expertise and enthusiasm with us. Their willingness to allow us to “geek out”, and engage in detailed technical discussions not only deepens our understanding but also fuels our passion for Building Science. #buildingscienceguys #dtrconsulting #projects #architecture #constructionindustry #buildingenclosure #sustainability #buildingscience #construction #enclosurespecialist #buildinglifecycle #RoofSystems #GAF #SinglePly #TechTalk

Happy Deconstruction + Reuse Conference Month! 🥳 Speaker Feature // New Incentives for Material Reuse: The Intersection of Embodied Carbon, New Decision-Making Frameworks, and Local Legislation Featuring Hannah Wilson, Li-Anne Sayegh, and Joe McGranahan, Assoc. AIA While a growing number of deconstruction ordinances effectively divert materials away from waste-streams, there is a pressing need for complementary policies and tools that incentivize the reuse of construction materials at-scale. In this talk, speakers will present various drivers and tools that have the potential to shape how we better incorporate reused materials into new structures. Following the presentation, Arup will lead a panel discussion exploring the presented approaches and challenging the roles that architects, planners, engineers, and consultants can play in driving this change. Join us in Savannah, Georgia, February 12-14, 2024, to engage in this session and so many more: https://lnkd.in/gfnAc9G #circulareconomy #deconstruction #greenbuilding #sustainablearchitecture #embodiedcarbon #decarbonization #zerowaste #circularconstruction

There are many great reasons why I love working at Stantec - the top two will always be the people I work with, and how we solve global problems together. The video below highlights this as we launch our evolved brand today!

Distilling a brand of global influence and 30,000 people into 3 minutes isn’t easy. But when done right, it lets you truly feel the gist of who they are… And here’s what many people often miss about story… The fundamentals. Story is, at its core, about character and conflict ❤️🥊 Real people trying to overcome a thing and achieve something greater. It’s simple, when put like that, but actually quite hard to execute. When Stantec reaching out about telling their ‘story’, it was quite the opportunity. A global company with 30,000 team members and massive influence. But how does one drill down from the list of facts and broader macro perspective and distill complex messaging into relatable moments and anecdotes? Why story of course… But more specifically, finding the remarkable characters and larger conflict that brings them together. Making it human. Going beyond the ‘hi my name is…’ It’s been a privilege getting to know these amazing people and helping to share their message with the world. I hope you enjoy their film and, in watching it, get a deep sense of who they are. #storytelling #brandstorytelling

Exciting news! The Biden administration and 69 leading firms, including Becker Architects & FX Collaborative, back a draft for a nationwide definition of zero-emissions buildings. This pivotal move aims to unify the industry towards sustainable and clean energy-powered construction, and would provide… ✍️ A single, comprehensive definition for new and existing buildings. ♻️ Focus on energy efficiency, zero on-site emissions, and clean energy sources. 📈 Potential for increased investments in sustainable and resilient buildings.

What drives the gap between projects that meet ambitious sustainability targets and those that don’t? As we head into day one of the Northeast Embodied Carbon Summit at the Boston Society for Architecture, we’re looking again at the results of a 2022 survey by Elaine Hoffman, AIA, LEED AP, CPHC, Lori Ferriss, AIA, PE, Alejandra Menchaca, and Erik Olsen that sought to answer this question. One take-away (and it’s no spoiler): client commitment is a crucial element of success. Read more about the survey at the link below and stay tuned for a reissued survey in coming months. We’ll see you at the Summit! #aecindustry #sustainabledesign #highperformancedesign #embodiedcarbon #NECS2024 #BSAAIA #BostonSocietyforArchitecture
