All About Carbon
Embodied carbon has become a hot topic in green building design, construction, and operations. But how do you measure carbon in the building? What steps can each discipline take to improve the overall carbon footprint of a building? Join us for a deep dive into how embodied is defined versus how it is generally understood in the industry. We will also look at ways designers, contractors, and operators can better track their projects’ carbon impact.

BMS (Building Management System) & Its Use in Building Application
A Building Management System is a computer system that monitors and controls the building’s physical environment. It does this by sensing temperature, humidity levels, air quality sensors such as carbon monoxide detectors, etc., to gauge the comfort level inside of buildings at any given moment. These systems can also control energy usage throughout a facility to ensure it functions optimally while keeping costs down for owners and tenants alike. For those involved in the management of any building, there can be numerous problems to deal with, whether it is a problem as big and complex as flooding or something more basic like ensuring proper ventilation for occupants.

Building Material Life Cycle: Understanding Our Impact
The building life cycle refers to the view of a building throughout its entire life. In other words, looking at it not only as an operational building but also considering the design, construction, operation, demolition, and waste treatment. To avoid unnecessary cost increases for both the construction price and the environmental impact perspective, buildings should address potential issues at the conceptual design stage through a life cycle analysis and an integrated design process
