“We started with the 2030 Commitment as a way to pledge to even more ambitious design outcomes, outside of the ebb and flow of our typical client conversations.” Get inspired by Stacey White's (AIA LEED AP BD+C) approach to practice & future professionals bit.ly/2tsNJcy

Take a deep dive into the essential concepts of building performance bit.ly/2GADHP0

Building #commissioning is an oft-skipped step that closes the loop on the #building process, helps identify structural issues & #team miscommunications & ensures your design will operate at peak #performance. Learn more about this value-adding #process. goo.gl/98DK58

Builders cite cost and lack of skilled #labor as top challenges for meeting @IntlCodeCouncil #energy #codes. Could a lack of training about #energyefficient #building practices be to blame? goo.gl/1QgTHx

Your design #modeling capabilities just got bigger! As part of the #sketchup Studio option, Sefaira is now available for purchase as part of a family of robust #design #tools. Check out the blog to learn more. goo.gl/BvBPGp

Cities in the Western U.S. are integrating #energyefficient building #policies into their local #code. See how Fort Collins, CO, San Jose, CA, and Reno, NV are getting it done with the help of the @IMT_speaks City Energy Project. goo.gl/FTbCHL

Christoph Reinhart, the founder of #DAYSIM, discusses the #physics behind building #analysis and what he’s currently working on to advance the future of #energyefficiency in #cities. goo.gl/AkR3Yo

The @AIANational #2030Challenge is a key movement in the #AEC industry. In order to explore how the initiative is weaved into everyday workflows, we spoke to Kyleen Rockwell, a leading member of @HKSArchitects' #Sustainability Design Green Team. goo.gl/sMLNh1

The global #AEC industry is filled with myriad rating systems and local regulations. The latest updates to The International Green #Construction Code aim to bridge the gap between optional #rating systems and mandatory #codes. goo.gl/QPKcfh

Glass: Use responsibly. Will a focus on occupant #comfort, #resources, and #environmental cost drive the required change? goo.gl/Jo6n2H

“On the energy side, we’re tapping into the utility data to really dial it in to understand the current building. Then we can understand the impacts to inform design decisions.” @EYPAE's panel, A Think Tank, explores the role of big data in architecture. goo.gl/g1X34C

Over the next 40 years, the @IEA estimates that the #buildings sector will #grow by more than 230 billion square meters. Watch and get inspired to learn more about how #energy #efficiency affects our buildings. goo.gl/ftFGWb

Years of #research have led @ecoLogicStudio to an algae-filled #facade that’s perfect for #retrofitting and can directly absorb 2 pounds of CO2 per day. goo.gl/deAumw

High-performing #buildings can be offer big benefits to owners and occupants. They also require more specialized #maintenance to run efficiently. Read on to ensure your building is set up for successful #performance. goo.gl/tZdD3L
