HEMANTH LINGAMGUNTA Integrating green building methods into historic preservation projects involves several strategies: 1. Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Implement modern energy-efficient systems while preserving original features, such as installing interior storm windows to improve thermal performance without altering the exterior appearance. 2. Use of Sustainable Materials: Select eco-friendly materials for repairs and renovations that match the historic character of the building, minimizing environmental impact. 3. Passive Design Techniques: Utilize existing architectural features like operable windows and awnings to enhance natural ventilation and reduce energy consumption. 4. Renewable Energy Solutions: Incorporate solar panels or green roofs discreetly to maintain aesthetic integrity while improving energy efficiency. 5. Adaptive Reuse: Repurpose historic buildings for new uses, ensuring that modifications respect the original structure and materials, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing waste. These practices not only preserve cultural heritage but also contribute to sustainability goals [1][2][3][4].

#Building a Greener Tomorrow: How Green Building Standards Are Shaping #Sustainable Construction" In simple terms, green building #standards are like rulebooks for constructing eco-friendly buildings that are kinder to the environment. These rules guide builders on how to make buildings that use resources wisely, don't harm #nature, and are healthy for people living or working inside. Imagine these rules as a guide for architects, engineers, and builders, showing them how to design and construct buildings that save energy, use water wisely, keep the air inside clean and fresh, and pick materials that are good for the Earth. By following these guidelines, buildings become more than just places to live or work; they become part of a bigger effort to protect our planet. From the moment they're planned to long after they're built, these green buildings are designed to make as little impact on the environment as possible. #Bank of #America #Tower is one such great example for more details please refer below article. #strategy #business #Sustainaility

Vancouver City Council has taken a significant step towards promoting sustainable and eco-friendly building practices by approving policies that favor the development of high-rise buildings made from mass timber. This move aims to encourage the construction of more environmentally friendly projects by offering rezoning incentives for additional height and building floor area to proposals that utilize mass-timber techniques. As a part of a broader initiative to reduce emissions and lead in sustainable building practices, these changes could position Vancouver and the entire British Columbia region at the forefront of mass-timber construction innovation. https://lnkd.in/gt5Bi5FQ

Do we really need new buildings? 🤔 Before we put up more walls, it's worth taking a broader look at what we already have and how we can use it wisely, environmentally and socially responsible. Urban development is not only about new buildings, it is above all about new thinking. Let's give space a chance to breathe and develop in a sustainable way🌱🌆 Here are the reasons why new buildings should not be built: 🔸 The best spots have already been occupied for a long time 🔸 The building process takes a long time 🔸 Material costs continue to rise 🔸 We increase the negative impact on the environment This is a very good moment to reflect and look for alternatives that will allow cities to develop without destroying their natural beauty and environment!

Last month, I had the privilege of attending the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) 2024 International Conference in London, where industry leaders tackled a pressing question: should we build new or renew what we already have? The consensus? Retrofit is the way forward. From reducing carbon emissions to breathing new life into vacant office spaces, the conversation highlighted the environmental, social and moral duty we have to rethink urban development. 🌍🔄 Here's my event report for Construction News. Shoutout to Michael George of JLL, Dana Robbins Schneider of Empire State Development, Ian Booth of Buro Happold, Catherine Skinner and Matthew Blair of BVN Architecture, Gensler's Ashley Rogow, FXCollaborative's Daniel Kaplan, Turner Construction Company's Fuquan Collins, Ronan Farrell at Tide Construction, KPF's John Bushell, and many others for their insights on the innovative solutions that are shaping our cities. #Sustainability #UrbanRenewal #Retrofit #CTBUH2024 #CircularEconomy #Decarbonisation https://lnkd.in/dY9T-uqn
