May 14, 2024 @ 1:30 pm PT. Join Veronica Madonna at the RAIC 2024 Conference on Architecture in Vancouver for her presentation: "Building Healthier Futures: Using LCA to Drive Industry Buy-In for Sustainable Construction.” In light of the urgent climate crisis, our session will explore mass timber as a pivotal low-carbon solution in construction, focusing on its application in educational buildings and northern housing projects. Discover insights from two critical feasibility studies in Ontario: one on mass timber in primary schools and another on modular housing in Northwestern Ontario's workforce communities. The presentation will illustrate the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), cost-carbon analysis, and health metrics to present a robust case for mass timber's benefits across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. We're committed to driving industry innovation, shaping policy, and promoting the adoption of sustainable materials for a climate-resilient future. #SustainableConstruction #MassTimber #ClimateAction #BuildingTheFuture

How are we building (or renovating) the next generation of schools to meet health, resilience and climate targets? Here’s a FREE online symposium designed to offer answers and demonstrate solutions… Sign up below (and share with your local school boards or design decisionmakers.)

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.

The intersection of health sciences and the built environment is where the magic happens! Recently, I had the chance to explore this intersection at UPenn Stuart Weitzman School of Design's executive program, starting with biclimactic design. It's amazing how practical applications in health sciences can take you further in the built environment industry, and vice versa. There's an art to the science, and technicality to execute both is essential, and I'm excited to begin to integrate it into the field! #healthscience #builtenvironment #practicalapplications #biclimacticdesign #humancentereddesign #climatechangemitigation #integratedsolutions #xds #sustainability

Science of Healthy Buildings The goal is to reduce the amount of embodied and operational carbon in a project. Our white paper explores the factors that influence the health of a building and its occupants, backed by scientific evidence. #educationalarchitecture #schoolsaroundtheworld #greeninstitutions #healthybuildings #masstimber #carbonemissions #schools #schoolarchitecture #designforeducation

Dr. Siyu Yu, assistant professor of landscape architecture and urban planning, received a $200K research grant from the National Science Foundation for her research on wildland fire mitigation. Researching alongside Dr. Jason Moats, a lecturer in the Bush School, and James Michael Tate, assistant professor of architecture, Yu seeks to converse with other researchers to discuss wildland fire risk and explore key issues for successfully mitigating, managing, and living with wildland fire hazards in the Southern U.S. #research
