The history of building regulations and building control The story of building regulation and control is one of belated action in response to crisis, and of continuing tension between the protection of the public and private profit. https://lnkd.in/eycBTWBc

Latest edition of the MA State Building Code adopts Coastal A Zone standards and raised minimum freeboard standards by an additional foot (now 2-3 ft depending on situation). Many years of advocacy by folks at CZM, DCR, and outside of government finally paid off. Next step, expanding to climate projected flood zones and elevations! Thanks to CZ-Mail below the fold for putting me on to this exciting news!

Finishing 2024 by completing another Āpōpō digital badge: LD 220 - Understanding the Land. This course deepened my understanding of natural hazards and land constraints, exceeding my prior due diligence knowledge. It also offers many useful online tools and clearly explains complex technical risks in simple terms, making them easy to be understood. Key message: take the time to understand the land, if you want a good land development project. And the proverb: "Te toto o te tangata he kai, te oranga o te tangata, he whenua, he oneone. While food provides the blood in our veins, our health is drawn from the land and soils." (This reminds us of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature: caring for the environment is inherently linked to caring for ourselves.) #Land-Development #LD-220 #Land-Development-Engineering #Asset-Management #Āpōpō

The past 2 years for me have been eat, drink, sleep Virginia stormwater with the development of the Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook, v. 1.0 and its associated trainings throughout the Commonwealth. Today is a bittersweet day for me, as we get ready to deliver the final round of trainings for inspectors, plan reviewers, and designers. As this chapter closes, I can’t wait to get into the next round of exciting projects and policy development. #Arcadis #Stormwater #ImprovingQualityofLife
