Today, May 16th, one of our esteemed principals, Alex Barmas will be participating in the BE Carbon and Energy Roundtable – an event hosted by Built Environment Plus to bring together architects, designers, construction managers, and sustainability professionals to explore critical issues surrounding carbon and energy in buildings. As a PE, RA and LEED AP with over 15 years of experience as a building envelope consultant supporting building owners, managers, and architects, Alex’s discussion will offer invaluable insights on the intricacies of Massachusetts Energy Stretch Code and requirements for thermal bridging and envelope rerating. Key questions will be addressed, including: Who should be part of our team to navigate these changes effectively? When is the best time to conduct these calculations? And what insights can we gain from others’ experiences with envelope submissions? There is still time left to register! The virtual roundtable, expertly moderated by Joelle Jahn, will run from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT. For more information about the roundtable and to secure your tickets, please visit the link below: https://lnkd.in/ebDWF9jZ To learn more about Alex Barmas, please visit his Expert Profile on our website here: https://lnkd.in/eC_6P5k2 Well done, Alex! #weareSOCOTEC #SOCOTECUSA #SOCOTEC #BuildingEnvironmentPlus #Sustainbility #SustainabilityProfessionals #CarbonandEnergy #GreenBuilding #BuildingSustainably #VirtualEvent #VirtualRoundtable

The awareness of climate change and the need for sustainable practices are transforming building construction. Key changes include: * Green Building Materials: Eco-friendly materials like recycled steel and bamboo are used to reduce environmental impact. * Energy Efficiency: Buildings incorporate high-performance windows, LED lighting, and green roofs for energy conservation. * Renewable Energy Sources: Solar panels and wind turbines are integrated to minimise reliance on fossil fuels. * Water Efficiency: Water-saving features such as rainwater harvesting systems are implemented. * Sustainable Construction Techniques: Prefabrication and modular construction reduce waste and construction time. * Climate-Adaptive Design: Buildings are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. * Building Certification Standards: Green building certification programs like LEED and BREEAM promote sustainable practices. * Carbon Sequestration Techniques: Innovative approaches use materials that capture more carbon than they emit. Overall, these changes are driving a revolution towards more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly buildings that combat climate change and provide healthier living and working spaces. https://lnkd.in/eTcq7Zk8 The Hon Richard Evans 🇬🇧 Andrew Wilkinson #greenconstruction #mmc
With an increasing understanding of the built environment’s role in global carbon emissions, there’s a burgeoning shift towards greener construction practices and energy-efficient designs. By considering environmental impact, energy efficiency, occupant health, and lifecycle costs, green building materials represent a holistic approach to construction that is crucial for the sustainable development of our built environment. #modcoach #sustainablebuilding #offsiteconstruction Fred Combs Gretchen Philyaw Gilbert Meier Gerry McCaughey The Hon Richard Evans 🇬🇧 Helena Lidelöw Ken Semler Kathleen Maynard Courtney Noik Doug Tollin Anna Tolan Eric Schaefer Jefre Outlaw Mark Wille Andrew Seelye Jean Lyons Lotus Mandi Lynn Kerr Dennis Steigerwalt https://lnkd.in/eEDAyeq4

Embracing the Future: Green Building Opportunities 🌿🏗️ Are you curious about the future of construction? 🏗️ The world of green buildings is evolving rapidly, and it's not just about being eco-friendly anymore. 🌿 Let's delve into some exciting opportunities that the green building industry is offering: 🌱 Decarbonizing for a Cleaner Future: Heat pumps, heat recovery systems, and innovative ventilation approaches are paving the way for buildings that produce zero emissions. By reducing energy consumption, these technologies are key to achieving our carbon reduction goals. 🌍 Enhancing Resilience: With climate uncertainties on the rise, resilience is crucial. On-site renewable energy generation and storage systems empower buildings to maintain operations even during disasters, ensuring continuity in times of need. ♻️ Circular Thinking: Embracing low-carbon materials and reusing salvaged resources not only cuts costs but also showcases a commitment to sustainability. It's a win-win for the environment and public perception alike. 🏢 Digitalization for Performance: Digital tools like Building Information Management (BIM) systems optimize resource utilization, making buildings smarter and more efficient. This tech-driven approach maximizes tenant comfort while minimizing waste. 🏭 Off-Site Innovation: Modular and off-site construction methods are revolutionizing the industry. Swift building processes and integrated systems result in high-quality structures. Speed, sustainability, and quality all in one. The green building sector isn't just about erecting structures; it's about creating sustainable ecosystems for living, working, and thriving. #GreenBuilding #SustainableFuture #InnovationInConstruction #BuildingResilience https://lnkd.in/gXZA5v8a

The future is bright for green construction as lawmakers, leaders, and customers set their sights on reducing the industry’s carbon footprint and impact on climate change. Increased demand for sustainable buildings, ongoing innovations in green technology and materials, stronger regulations, and more sustainable financing and investment will only accelerate today’s interest. These five key trends in green construction will move the industry forward. From my perspective, the momentum in green construction is not just a response to regulatory pressure but a fundamental shift towards a more sustainable and resilient future. The integration of advanced technologies and innovative materials is proving that eco-friendly practices are not only viable but also economically beneficial. The growing focus on human health, driven by insights from the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the holistic benefits of sustainable buildings. As the construction industry embraces circular economy principles, we're witnessing a transformative approach that prioritizes both environmental stewardship and economic efficiency. It's an exciting time to be part of an industry at the forefront of combating climate change and fostering a healthier planet. #GreenConstruction #SustainableBuilding #Innovation #ClimateChange #ConstructionIndustry #ResilientDesign #CircularEconomy https://lnkd.in/gaSqBksD
