KPFF Consulting Engineers’ Post

Many products and buildings that were in use yesterday suddenly no longer meet our requirements – an intriguing challenge for the construction industry. Architect, university professor and President of DGNB German Sustainable Building Council, Prof. Amandus Samsøe Sattler, believes that we should show more respect for existing buildings and find ways to keep them in use. One solution for this is: circular construction. 🔄🏗️ In our interview, Prof. Sattler shares his perspective on this future-oriented topic and reveals the connection between Lindner and DGNB.

On October 17, I’ll be presenting at the Detroit BEC Enclosure Consciousness Symposium. Integrated WRB Panels: Extraordinary Claims Demand Extraordinary Methods I’ll be focusing on a couple of things. First, I was asked to explain why I test the way that I do. Someone has finally asked the right question! And there is no better example to justify these approaches than WRB Panels. Second, I will tackle this topic in my typical unapologetic way. I expect another lively discussion and perhaps more. The learning objectives: 1.      Understand the fundamental differences between integrated and integral WRB panels. 2.      Describe the limitations of applicable testing methodologies for WRBs and specifically integrated WRB panels.   3.      Appreciate the importance of evaluating the WRB Panel as a whole system rather than an amalgam of separate parts. 4.      Understand the principles of predictive value in product evaluation. 5.      Most importantly, the attendees will learn how WRB panels work and how they don't.

When building a school, it’s about creating a space that invokes imagination, is light and airy but also reliable and resistant. Epping West Primary used Cemintel’s Barestone in the school build. It’s subtle and sleek, as well as long-lasting. Reliability is what Cemintel is known for. It’s a partnership between Pedavoli Architects, Hansen Yuncken and Modscape that brought this project to life.

What's more, this course will be using a fully upgraded version of PHribbon aligning to the RICS v2 Whole Life Carbon Assessment Sept 2023 which is effective from 1st July, a few days before the course starts.

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.
