What a delight to sponsor and support the USGBC Women in Green event yesterday! Alongside our invited guests (we had the BEST table), we enjoyed inspiring panels on equitable design and workforce development. One highlight was the guided tour of the beautiful Spelman College campus and a sneak peek at "The Forum," designed by Jeanne Gang/Studio Gang, which is currently under construction—simply stunning! #Sustainability #WomenInGreen #WorkforceDevelopment #decarbonization #resilience Suzanne Haerther Shannon Goodman

Calling all builders! We’re daring you to enter our virtual Haunted House contest this October! 🎃👻 Think you’re brave enough? Here’s how it works! Every Wednesday this month, we’ll be designing another feature on the world’s first WitchCraft Certified House. Your first challenge: You’re approaching the scene of the haunted house, looking for opportunities to claim site points. As you walk through the creaky metal gate, you discover that this house doesn’t have an ordinary yard– it’s a graveyard! 🪦That’s not going to score very high. What spooky features and amenities would you add to get the highest level of certification? A rainwater retention pond with a genuine Loch Ness Monster? Fully-fenced, off-leash werewolf park? Comment your most frightening suggestions below and tag a friend! https://lnkd.in/eXMwUSax

Hope to see you this Thursday for some BS BEER, and a discussion with The Green Police (our co-founder Carl Seville and Michael Anschel, AIA) about designing beautiful, sustainable spaces. Join us for some lighthearted - and serious - discussion!

We’re excited to sponsor and support the USGBC Women in Green Summit on October 3 at Spelman College!

We had an amazing time joining the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance and AIA Louisiana for the Energy Code Convening in Baton Rouge! Now leading the southeast, the state recently made the jump from the 2009 IECC to the 2021 IECC. With energy code officials, architects and builders in the room, it was a great forum in which to discuss opportunities and challenges ahead. Thanks again to all who organized! #WomenInGreen #sustainabledesign #energysecurity
