Over the next five weeks, we’ll be looking at the Top 5 Trends in Facility Design and Construction. The first of these trends is Sustainability and Green Building. There's a growing emphasis on sustainable design practices and green building initiatives to reduce environmental impact. This includes incorporating energy-efficient systems, using eco-friendly materials, implementing renewable energy sources, and designing for optimal use of natural light and ventilation. #Trends #FacilityDesign #GreenBuildings
Meeting the energy efficiency benchmarks set forth in Executive Order 14057 requires extensive planning and comparison. Kenneth Golovko, federal business leader, Daniel Jaconetti, AIA, LEED AP, national sustainable design leader, and Rajat Wadhwa, E.I.T, LEED Green Associate, sustainable design leader, recommend setting benchmarks that eliminate waste as part of your facility strategy. These include: - Note your energy bills to meet the 65% use reduction without energy modeling - Conduct a full inventory examination of your building stock to understand current conditions - Use a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to identity systems with lowest life cycle costs Read more of the team’s insights and recommendations below. https://bit.ly/3UAhEMf #HEDAdvances #NetZero #Sustainability #ArchitectureAndDesign
Zero Is For The Future Minded With State of The Art Capabilities And A Minimum Footprint 4 Units Available Zero is at the forefront of design boasting minimum footprint capabilities. We are seeking companies that are committed to the environment and ready for the future of commercial/industrial warehousing. This futuristic site will be built by investing in green building solutions to reduce environmental impacts. Zero is derived from the term “Beyond Zero” which is not a specific building name, but rather a concept or a goal in sustainability and environmental responsibility. In the context of building design and construction, Zero refers to a focus on reducing the environmental impact of the building, beyond the standard energy and resource efficiency measures, to achieve a net-zero or even negative impact to the environment. We hope to achieve this through a variety of sustainable design strategies, such as incorporating renewable energy systems, reducing water usage, improving indoor air quality, and using sustainable materials and construction practices. #warehousing #commercial #industrial #lease #zero #future #westernsydney
🌍 What is LEED Certification and Why Does It Matter? 🌿 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the world's most widely recognized and prestigious certifications for green building. It’s a globally recognized symbol of sustainability, reflecting a commitment to the environment, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being. Types of LEED Certification: - LEED Certified: The entry-level recognition for projects meeting sustainability criteria. - LEED Silver: For projects that go above and beyond in energy efficiency and sustainable design. - LEED Gold: A higher level of performance, focusing on energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, and improved indoor air quality. - LEED Platinum: The highest level of certification, reserved for projects that achieve outstanding sustainability across all measures. Why is LEED Important? - Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption, leading to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint. - Healthier Spaces: These spaces focus on air quality, natural light, and non-toxic materials, enhancing the health and well-being of occupants. - Sustainability: Encourages using renewable resources and minimizes waste, supporting a more sustainable future. - Higher Market Value: LEED-certified buildings often have a higher market value and attract forward-thinking tenants and investors. At Estmak Capital, we’re proud to work on projects that meet these high environmental standards. Our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly development aligns with the values of LEED certification, ensuring our buildings offer long-term benefits to both the environment and the communities we serve. #EstmakCapital #LEEDCertificate #LEED #GreenBuilding #Sustainability #EcoFriendly
Achieving net zero targets requires that all new constructions and 20% of existing building stock are zero-carbon-ready by 2030. This means significant and immediate action is needed across the construction and real estate sectors. To meet these goals, innovative building management systems and sustainable practices must become standard. Advancements in technology now make it possible to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints dramatically. Understanding the impact and necessity of these targets is essential for all stakeholders in the industry. #NetZeroTargets #SustainableConstruction #ClimateAction
