When Greenbuild comes to town, we pretty much go all in. We were involved in projects featured in 1/3 of the Greenbuild tours - wowza! If you're feeling social, you can hang out with Scott Kelly and learn about our work in the Navy Yard or Drew Lavine and see our project with Saint-Gobain/CertainTeed in Malvern. Stay tuned for updates on where else we'll be that week! #AuthenticSustainability #SeeUsHearUs #Greenbuild2024

We always try to say 'yes!' to the chance to work with the next generation of leaders in our profession! Scott Kelly and Drew Lavine had a great time last week with future architects from across the nation. Thanks for the opportunity, National Student Leadership Conference!
One of our responsibilities as sustainability practitioners in the built environment is to sew the seeds for our future leaders (and not just preach to the choir). Last week, Scott Kelly and I had the privilege of talking with over 80 high school students at DesignPhiladelphia selected for the National Student Leadership Conference. These ambitious students are from all over the country and are interested in going to college for architecture. Our message to them - "You are our future and we believe in you! Keep the pressure on the grown ups that sustainability matters to you in your college selection - and then when you get there demand sustainability education from your professors. A degree in architecture doesn't mean you have to come out designing buildings. You'll be trained as a design thinker to solve problems - and you can put those skills to work in lots of different ways to support our future sustainable built environment!" #authenticsustainability

The Living Future conference is always an incredible experience, and since everything is more fun with friends, seeing Saint-Gobain North America and CertainTeed in Atlanta made the celebration of our work together that much better! #AuthenticSustainability #CoreLivingBuildingCertification #MoreFunWithFriends #LF24
Our CertainTeed Innovation Malvern R&D Center was highlighted at the 2024 Living Future Conference, sponsored by the International Living Future Institute, for its Core Living Building Ready designation. Joined by Raj Deshpande, PhD MBA at the conference, the architect and sustainability consultant on the project, Drew Lavine and his team at Re:Vision Architecture ensured the project aligned with not only our environmental sustainability goals, but also our commitment to health, wellness, and belonging for staff and community.

How do you shape a built environment and a society where equity, transparency, and accountability are the foundations? We think this is what good looks like, and why we have advocated for the #Just program as a way businesses and organizations can take continuous action on equity through their operations and practices. #Just3.0 launched this week at #LF24, and Drew Lavine was on stage with Cheryl Tam, MPH, Griso Barrios, and Allison Wilson, AIA, LEED AP, WELL AP to talk about how pursuing and maintaining our Just label has changed the way we reflect on our own work and shapes our path forward as a small business, and how we have supported others in pursuing the label, as well. https://lnkd.in/gyaJQaU #AuthenticSustainability #WhatGoodLooksLike

Q: Hey Re:Vision, what are you doing for Earth Day? A: Hi! Thanks for asking! We’re celebrating the world’s FIRST Core Living Building Certified project at Muhlenberg College and we’re really excited about it! International Living Future Institute created the Core Living Building Certification using 10 non-negotiables from the Living Building Challenge as the baseline to make our communities good for everyone. We’re really proud of the work of the entire team on this project, which met certification requirements after demonstrating 12 months of energy and water use that were above requirements. We think Core Living Building certification is a game-changer for everyone who owns, designs, or constructs building projects. It’s a holistic look at what our building projects should be doing as an entry to regenerative practice, where our work can exist in balance – or as a benefit – to the natural, built, and social communities around it. Oh, and most of us biked, carpooled, took transit, or walked to work today. #AuthenticSustainability #CoreLivingBuildingCertified #EveryDayIsEarthDay #FirstInTheWorld Muhlenberg College The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company BSEG, LLC Thriven Design Keystone Consulting Engineers, Inc. O'Donnell & Naccarato ThinkGreen LLC Cloud Gehshan Design
Time to celebrate another #LivingFuture certification! This is not your typical certification. This is 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! HUGE congrats to Fahy Commons at Muhlenberg College, located in Pennsylvania (USA), on achieving your Core certification (part of LBC 4.0)! Fahy Commons, designed by Re:Vision Architecture, is a 20,000 square foot building used by students, faculty and school administrators. While not a Core requirement, the team performed a post-occupancy evaluation. The majority of participants identified the building as beautiful, and a safe and healthy space. Students and staff alike requested to be in the building more than 'standard' hours because of how much they enjoyed being in the building. The project was able to exceed the energy performance requirements even with the unexpected additional use. This new building includes 29 #Declare products, 18 more than required, representing 13 manufactures including Wilsonart and Nucor Corporation.
