Sharon Robinson’s Post

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.

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.

Treat your BODY like you treat your BUILDINGS. 👂 Hear me out... We design our buildings to conserve energy, right? That's one reason why we design for efficiency modes and occupancy sensors. Your body ALSO needs periods of energy conservation. Weird to think about the correlation. 🏢 Just like many of our buildings will go into energy conservation mode over the weekend, give your body permission to do the same. #architecture #architect #friday #energyconservation #stressreduction #aec #stressmanagement

We're so grateful for another 5 star review. Energy efficiency is such an important factor in how we design and build SIPs homes. With sustainable building practices, we'll continue to play a positive role in tackling the climate crisis. #sips #sipsbuild #ecobuild #homebuilding #selfbuild #selfbuilduk #selfbuilding #selfbuildhomes #homeinspiration #energyefficient #architect #architects #architecture #homedesign #housedesign #sipsdesign #sipsbuild #sustainablebuilding #sustainableconstruction #sipsconstruction #ecobuilding

🏖 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

Sun shading, is something we need more and more as the climate changes, and our buildings are more efficient. The good news is, it adds a layer to the architecture. Beauty combined with function. The perfect combination. Check out our Dalefield guest house (snippet here), for more of this. #lowenergyhouse #highperformancehouses #nziasouthern #queenstownhouse #teamgreenarchitects

Planning Pop Quiz: Spot the Density. Can you figure out the correct density order of the following buildings from highest to lowest density? Put your responses in the comments below:   In Planning, the term ‘density’ is most often defined as the number of residential units per acre. For example, 100 units on 10 acres would be a density of 10 dwelling units/acre (abbreviated du/ac). But what does that mean and look like in our communities? The pictures below highlight different types of developments and densities throughout Columbus and show that density isn’t always what you might think.  See these and hundreds more density examples from Columbus at the Columbus Development Database: https://lnkd.in/gCAgX5Fn Columbus Department of Development American Planning Association, Ohio Chapter #columbusohio #planning #development #architecture #design #historicpreservation #becauseweplan #infilldevelopment #density #thisplacematters
