The climate is changing rapidly, but together, we can build a more resilient future. Thanks to BuildingGreen, Inc for sharing the results of “Climate Forward? How Climate Projections Are(n’t) Used to Inform Design“ — a joint study from HGA and the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP). View the full study: https://lnkd.in/gm7YcjEp
Warning! Do not unsee this terrifying chart, courtesy of HGA. Your legal and ethical obligations as a building practitioner are on the line. The wildly fluctuating scribbles are our climate future. The dotted red line is the weather data you're probably using to design critical building functions like: 🔥 Heating & cooling 💡 Lighting & shading 💦 Moisture management 🌬 Ventilation 🛁 Plumbing So ... what to do? Candace Pearson has the deets on how to use the right tools to design for future weather. https://lnkd.in/eVUexaxT Kim Shinn, PE, LEED Fellow, BEMP National Renewable Energy Laboratory Victor Braciszewski, PE Nathan Kegel Arup ASHRAE The American Institute of Architects (AIA)

Some laboratories and research spaces are designed before the occupants are determined. To discuss developing these spaces for flexible future use, HGA Science + Technology Principals Deepa Balgi and Jon Riddle will join Affiliated Engineers, Inc. Principal Jeremy Barrette to present 'Research Buildings: Maximum Flexibility for Unknown Occupants/Sciences' at the Lab Design Conference in Phoenix, Arizona on May 20.

Join us at #LCIDesign24 to see Kyle Weisman AIA, NCARB in conversation with other leading design professionals at this session, as well as a roundtable with Jenny Han and Scot Lauwasser of The Boldt Company titled “Modular and Prefab Rules and Rails for Building Construction.”
#LCIDesign24 takes place May 1-2, 2024 at the Palmer House Chicago. We look forward to this presentation from Jenny Han, Romano Nickerson, Kyle Weisman AIA, NCARB, and Stan Chiu on May 2. Register for this year's forum here: https://lnkd.in/ey7EtcsJ Panelists will share how they have re-structured their design thinking to embrace prefabrication, supply chain engagement and lean practices across the entire value stream, oftentimes against all odds. Their stories become actionable insights in design problem solving: 1. Empathize to define the problem 2. Ideate to spark potential solutions to the productivity gap 3. Prototype to test the solution 4. Solve complex problems through wild collaboration Despite working for competing design companies, these design professionals have come to understand the value of innovating together and evolving to save the AEC industry from its lack of productivity in an increasingly challenging market. Key takeaways: • Shared continuous improvement while fulfilling each of our companies’ strategic visions. • Solve for the cost of doing things the same old way (competing against stick built) • How to evolve our industry through Prefabrication with A/E designers as key stakeholders
