The journey to a zero net energy (ZNE) future starts with renovating the current paradigm of building design. The way buildings are designed today needs a retrofit in thinking so new projects meet the challenges of the global climate crisis.

Approximately 80% of our total building stock is from the 20th century. During the last decades, along with an increasing appreciation of modern arch…
In order to get to a carbon neutral building stock – which is e.g. required by the EU Carbon roadmap by 2050 – our efforts need to be smart and holis…
Facades play a relevant role in the search for a more sustainable approach to modern architecture. The amount of embodied and operational energy can …
PLEA stands for “Passive and Low Energy Architecture”, a commitment to the development, documentation and diffusion of the principles of bioclimatic design and the application of natural and innovative techniques for sustainable architecture and urban design.
The conventional modern facade is essentially flat, which creates the tendency toward visual monotony and problems for modulating daylight—both on th…
With the desire for more sustainable construction and reduced embodied energy, mass timber is being explored for building structures. For medium and …
BEST6 - The Next Generation of Building Technology
3.5 billion years ago, cyanobacteria created the foundation for life on Earth by producing the oxygen basis for our atmosphere. Should we once again …
Special guests Jennifer O'Connor from Athena Sustainable Materials Institute, Anthony Pak from Priopta, and Stacy Smedley from Skanska join us to discuss embodied carbon.
