Featured by Building Design+Construction Media is the new #designbuild Contra Costa County Administrative Building in the article "World’s first TRUE Zero Waste for Construction-certified public project delivered in California." https://lnkd.in/gTWCG5MW "More than 95% of construction waste from the project was diverted from landfills and waste-to-energy facilities. That amounted to over 15,000 tons of waste reduced, reused, recycled, composted, and/or recovered for productive use. The project included the demolishing of a 12-story building and a historic jail. Marble from the building lobby was salvaged, cut, and reused in the new building lobby, alongside a history of the site mural," writes Peter Fabris.

The global construction sector is evolving towards environmental responsibility and sustainability to mitigate the risks of climate change and resource depletion. Key principles of green building include: • Focus on environmental conservation throughout a building's lifespan. • Prioritise energy efficiency through creative design and technology. • Emphasise water conservation by minimising waste and promoting efficient usage. • Implement waste reduction techniques like recycling and reusing materials. • Ensure alignment with sustainability objectives at all stages: design, construction, maintenance and operation. Our industry needs to understand the benefits of eco-friendly materials and greener building practices to accelerate adoption, progress and innovation in this space. #sustainability #sustainablebuilding #greenbuilding

Tech Tip Tuesday: Sustainable Practices in Modern Construction On this Tech Tip Tuesday, let's explore sustainable practices in modern construction. Embracing these methods not only benefits the environment but can also lead to more cost-effective and efficient building processes. · Use of Recycled Materials: Incorporating recycled materials in construction projects reduces waste and often costs less than using new materials. Examples include reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and repurposed glass. · Energy-Efficient Design: Design buildings to maximize natural light and use energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. This approach reduces the building's carbon footprint and lowers energy costs. · Water Conservation: Implement rainwater harvesting systems and low-flow fixtures to minimize water usage. In landscaping, use drought-resistant plants to reduce the need for watering. · Green Roofing Systems: Green roofs, covered with plants, can improve insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and increase biodiversity in urban areas. · Waste Reduction on Site: Practice efficient material usage and proper waste management on construction sites to minimize environmental impact.
