The campaign encourages implementation of the most up-to-date energy codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, and enhance resiliency and safety.

Committees reflect the diversity and experience of an unprecedented field of 350 applicants.

Analysis shows improvements of nearly 9.5 percent in energy use and 9 percent in carbon emissions over 2018 edition.

The requirements in green standards alone, such as LEED, Green Globes and IgCC may lack comprehensive measures to address resiliency related to the long-term performance of the building enclosure

When it comes to operational energy efficiency, the building design and construction industry continuously raises the ceiling through myriad collective avenues including the increased stringency of volunteer rating systems, monitoring-based commissioning, verified zero energy buildings, and much more

Individuals dedicated to advancing safety and sustainability in communities are encouraged to apply.

Understanding the energy code requirements and how to properly calculate the fenestration U-factors is an important skill to develop to inform the building-enclosure design

The energy efficiency of buildings is the main goal of these code changes, with the hope that the efficiency of all buildings (residential and commercial) will rise by about 10 percent

The state’s first-ever Passive House multifamily development, the Hook and Ladder Apartments, opened October 2019 in Northeast Minneapolis

Today, building facades are expected to do much more than provide shelter. As a result, building envelopes have become one of the highest-risk items on construction projects
