Strategic urban planning and landscape architecture play a crucial role in reducing the urban heat island effect. By designing green areas, using eco-friendly construction methods, and heat-resistant materials, cities can tackle rising temperatures and improve urban life quality. Green infrastructure and proper zoning measures are essential in decreasing heat retention and promoting healthier communities. #LandscapeArchitecture #Landscapeimplementation #Landscapemaintenance #Landscapesupervision #SustainableUrbandevelopment #GreenInfrastructure.

Did you know that London’s cooling demand is growing faster than in any other global city? Despite the city’s small residential population, cooling demand grew by 5% per year between 1980 and 2022. So, what does this mean for architects, property developers, and property owners? Mitigating overheating should be a top priority in new and existing London developments. Fortunately, a number of sustainable architecture practices can help to keep buildings cool, including passive cooling techniques, efficient insulation, and energy-saving features.

I have had a few people reach out and ask about Passive House. It seems there are many "understandings" about it, from both within the construction industry and the people this industry serves (i.e home and building owners) So to empower you to know what a solution can be for reducing the energy footprint of the buildings you create and own, here is the information straight from the horses mouth. Its too easy to think we understand the story based on our past knowledge, and while Passive House isnt new, its new for many.

🏖 Come along for a ride down Pebble Beach's 17 Mile Drive to see how California is adopting the Passive House standard of hashtag #efficiencyfirst 🏡 TOMORROW, MARCH 19TH FROM 12-1 --> Join Bronwyn Barry for our monthly community meeting, as she goes over: 1. The five basic Passive House principles 2. The specific building assembly details that meet Passive House performance targets for Monterey California. 3. Basic embodied carbon footprint assessment results using a real case study of a passive house built in Pebble Beach. 4. Lessons learned for designing high performance buildings in a mild climate. #sustainabledesign #cleanenergy #cleanair #buildingbetterfutures #architecture #design #energyefficiency #healthybuildings #healthyhomes

In our conversation with Lindsay Puckett, AICP she highlighted contrasting viewpoints to the smart-grove concept, emphasizing a shift towards more pedestrian-oriented environments. Pointing out that urban sprawl historically revolved around car-centric design, characterized by wider corridors, single-use buildings, and extensive parking lots that deter pedestrian engagement. Lindsay expressed concerns about this approach disconnecting from the city's natural synergy, leading to increased costs for infrastructure, water, sewer, and public services such as fire protection.

Written by an architect who is an expert in sustainable design and former chair of the AIA's Committee on the Environment (COTE), Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning is the perfect primer for green and sustainable design. It defines sustainable design issues, illustrates conceptual ideas and case studies, and provides an information base for continued learning for architects.
