With an intent to improve human comfort and building energy performance, daylighting can provide a number of benefits to occupants including improved wellbeing, productivity, and occupant health. Additionally, this passive design solution can aid in optimizing heating/cooling loads through passive gains and reducing electrical lighting requirements. The evaluation of Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA300/50%) and Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE1000,250), can determine the percent value of natural sunlight transmitted into the building throughout the year. Some green building standards that evaluate daylighting in order to achieve a credit include LEED, WELL, and Fitwel. With our team tackling daylighting requirements, we can provide you with our expertise in achieving optimal daylighting for your building! #sustainability #wellness #energy #buildings #greenbuildings

The term "High-performance", "Sustainable" building is thrown around quite a bit and I sometimes wonder if we are all talking about the same thing. Let’s see if we are all on the same page. How would you define High performing/sustainable building? My definition would be buildings that promote occupants' health, comfort and functionality (in order words, optimal performance) with minimal environmental impact as much as possible. What’s yours? #youaretheexpert.

************ WELL Green Building Standard ******** * WELL green building standard is focused on designing and operating the built environment to enhance wellbeing of building occupants * WELL v2 standard consists of following concepts (~ categories) which are further sub-divided into several pre-conditions / optimizations (~ credits) 1. Air 2. Water 3. Nourishment 4. Light 5. Movement 6. Thermal Comfort 7. Sound 8. Materials 9. Mind 10. Community * some of these conepts have some degree of overlap with IEQ category (air, light, thermal comfort, sound, materials) and SS category (movement) of LEED v4. however, these ideas are introducted in greater details in WELL standard * moveover, several novel concepts are introducted by WELL standard i.e. water (not water efficiency), nourishment, mind, community #sustainability #greenbuildings #WELL #LEED

Enhancing Natural Light Modern impact-resistant windows are often designed to maximize natural light without compromising on strength and durability. By allowing more natural light into buildings, they reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, which can significantly lower energy consumption. Increased natural light also creates healthier and more productive indoor environments, further contributing to the overall sustainability of the building. #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #CarbonFootprint #GreenBuilding #ImpactResistantWindows #EcoFriendly #SustainableLiving #LEEDCertification #ClimateChange #DurableDesign #EnergySavings #GreenConstruction #BuildingSustainability #NaturalLight

As winters seem to get colder each year, staying warm at home has become more challenging. Here are some insights from recent readings: Firstly, Australian homes are getting bigger, which ironically cancels out gains in energy efficiency. Larger homes require more energy for heating, cooling, and general maintenance, leading to a larger carbon footprint. Additionally, many homes are poorly insulated and lack central heating, making them ineffective at retaining heat during winter. A historical focus on cooling over heating has left many homes ill-equipped for winter warmth. This can lead to discomfort and health issues during colder months. Moreover, many homes are so poorly insulated that they are more like tents than eco-friendly buildings. Current building standards do not prioritize energy efficiency and insulation, resulting in freezing indoor environments during winter. These insights make me think critically about our living spaces and the importance of sustainable and practical design, especially as we face changing weather patterns. Investing in better insulation and energy-efficient heating solutions could make a significant difference in our comfort and environmental impact. #Sustainability #HomeDesign #SustainableArchitecture #EnergyEfficiency

🌐 Global Urban Retrofit, Bringing New Life to Old Buildings! 🏢✨ Across the world, structures like the one shown here await transformations that can turn them into eco-friendly and efficient living spaces. I love to see potential where others see decay. Here's what can be done: Facade Renovation: Updating the building's skin not only improves thermal performance but also revitalizes its aesthetic appeal. Window Modernization: Replacing old windows with high-performance glass can significantly enhance energy conservation and interior comfort. HVAC Overhaul: Outdated AC units can be replaced with centralized, energy-efficient systems that provide better climate control and reduce energy costs. Greening the Building: Implementing green roofs and vertical gardens helps reduce the urban heat island effect and promotes biodiversity. Solar Panels: Suitable rooftops can be equipped with solar panels to generate sustainable energy, cutting down on electricity costs and carbon emissions. This building's transformation could serve as a model for sustainable urban development worldwide. Interested in learning more about our approach and the technologies we use? #UrbanTransformation #SustainabilityInAction #Retrofitting #GlobalImpact #LightnerGroupLLC

Sustainability isn't just about making a few small changes. It's a comprehensive approach that involves every part of a building's design and development. Key Points ✔ Holistic Approach: Sustainability means looking at all parts of a building together, not just individual upgrades. ✔ Living System: A building is like a living organism, where every element plays a role in its overall health. ✔ Interconnectedness: Single upgrades, like energy-efficient windows, aren’t effective unless the entire system works together. ✔ Cohesive System: For true sustainability, all components—from insulation and lighting to heating and cooling—must integrate and support each other. ✔ Long-term Benefits: A holistic approach ensures the building saves energy, conserves resources, and provides a healthier living environment. How do you see the concept of a living, breathing building? Let us know your perspective. #estateplanning #realestateinvesting #realestateinvesting #multifamilyrealestateinvestor #multifamilyrealestateinvestortips #multifamilyrealestateinvesting

Features of a sustainable build process. Make airtight and ventilate right. Creating an airtight building envelope, including choosing high quality windows and doors, is vital in creating an energy efficient home. Just as important is creating a healthy indoor environment using mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, which filters incoming air and extracts stale air.
