Sustainable construction: examples to follow..! For a dozen years, passive houses, positive energy buildings (PEBs), and exceptional public buildings have been raising sustainability standards in the construction sector. Six remarkable examples epitomize this new way of building, in which decarbonization, circularity, and energy conservation are the name of the game. In their diversity in terms of design and use, these buildings share the current and upcoming trends for major sustainable projects.

This World Green Building Week, we’re reflecting on what it means to create spaces that truly inspire and protect the planet 🌎💚 At Reimagine, regenerative architecture is a guiding principle. Our mission is to design buildings that give back to the environment, rather than simply minimizing harm. From the earliest stages of planning, we’re intentional about the materials we use, the energy systems we integrate, and the ways our projects can contribute to their surroundings. It’s about building structures that not only meet today’s sustainability standards but also have a positive and lasting impact on the environment. Whether it’s through innovative energy solutions, reducing embodied carbon, or creating spaces that enhance biodiversity, we’re always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re proud to stand alongside the global green building community and the CAGBC | Canada Green Building Council, who continue to lead the way in transforming our built environment. Together, we’re working to #BuildTheTransition toward a zero-carbon future — one that prioritizes both people and planet. Let’s keep pushing forward, imagining new possibilities for the spaces we live, work, and play in. Explore more from the Canada Green Building Council and discover how we can all take part in shaping a resilient, regenerative future.

Sustainable construction involves creating buildings that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their lifecycle. It integrates sustainable practices into every stage, from site selection and design to construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction. The goal is to reduce the negative environmental impacts of buildings while enhancing their economic and social performance.

In their latest issue Green Building and Design features the new LinkedIn Middlefield Campus. The article explores the innovative design strategies, including the use of CarbonCure Technologies concrete, that allowed this building to achieve LEED Platinum certification. https://bit.ly/3urbdBI

Renovations currently make up less than 1% of building projects worldwide, according to research published by the Urban Land Institute in 2023. Yet, the growing number of panels on circular principles at COP28 suggests that the tide on single-use buildings might finally be turning. As we work towards more sustainable ways of designing and delivering projects, we asked a group of experts what it would take to embed circular design principles as standard across the built environment.

🇺🇸 LEED Certifications for “Sustainable Buildings” - by Dr. Christine Lemaitre. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications aim to promote sustainable building practices but have faced several controversies. Critics argue that LEED often emphasizes design and predicted performance over actual performance, leading to discrepancies between expected and real-world outcomes. Additionally, the high cost of certification, including documentation and consultancy fees, can make it inaccessible for smaller projects. Developers might also engage in "point chasing," prioritizing easily obtainable points over more impactful sustainability measures. Furthermore, the one-size-fits-all approach of LEED may not be suitable for all regions and climates, resulting in inefficiencies. There are concerns that market forces and industry lobbying influence LEED standards, potentially compromising broader sustainability goals. Christine Lemaitre, CEO of the DGNB German Sustainable Building Council and a member of the World Green Building Council, experienced these issues firsthand. After finishing her studies, she worked in a LEED-certified building in Atlanta, where she was shocked by its poor functionality. This experience marked her first encounter with “sustainable buildings.” ▶️ You can find her full story (in German) on our website under “Archive”https://lnkd.in/d-Czwwxf. #architectsnotarchitecture #AnAtalks #architects #architecture #christinelemaitre #sustainability #greenbuilding #sustainablearchitecture #environment #climateaction #buildingdesign #sustainabledevelopment #DGNB #leed

Codes and standards are moving forward..... higher sustainability, less energy, less GHG emissions, more reuse of embodied carbon in existing buildings .....very soon Architects will HAVE to know this stuff. In the near future, it will simply be called "good design".

A really interesting read for those interested in the circular economy. Check it out 👇
