The US Environmental Protection Agency named indoor air quality as one of the top 5 health threats in the U.S. That’s because we are spending 90% of our time indoors. Are you aware of the benefits of bipolar ionization technology? Bipolar ionization is essential in our lives since it focuses on purifying the air as opposed to the filtration offered by other technologies. The benefits that come with ionization commercial buildings and homes cannot be overlooked.

In this episode Carlos Gendron with AtmosAir™ discusses discusses a topic that everyone is talking about right now amidst the coronavirus outbreak. Indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

Commissioning ensures that each step of the design process is documented for the protection of the contractor, designers and owners in order to deliver a project that works from the beginning and can be operated by the building’s facilities staff. Obviously, commissioning is no small task and can have wide ranging effects on a project, so are you putting enough thought into selecting your Commissioning Agent/Team?

In this episode, we chat with Michael Flemming with Interface Engineering. He has vast experience and background in conducting commissioning and energy auditing. He helps clients to enhance their energy saving while creating a hospitable interior environment.

Solar co-ops organize 50 to 100 neighbors in a group to go solar together. People love the community approach. Qualified experts support you through each stage of the solar process and members leverage bulk-purchasing power to get discounted pricing and a quality installation, while still signing individual contracts that ensure the right system for their home. Sounds like a win-win? That's because it is.

In this episode Hanna Mitchell, Texas Program Director for the nonprofit Solar United Neighbors, discusses how homeowners can investment to build the value of their home with clean energy.

As environmental policies and energy codes around the US become more stringent and push the bar on energy efficiency, design firms are faced with the challenge of addressing high performance design while balancing client expectations to deliver projects under budget and on time. In some parts of the country mandatory building benchmarking & reporting laws have also created a new perspective on the importance of measuring design/operational performance. Additionally, new additions to the AIA Code of Ethics have shed some new light on the role architects have on informing clients about their buildings impact on the environment.

In this episode, Scott Deatherage of Deatherage Law discusses some of his most interesting cases, the obligations architects and engineers have to deliver high performing buildings and some of the evolving market drivers that are pushing the envelope.

Air pollution is perceived as a modern-day curse: a by-product of increasing urbanization and industrialization. It does, however, have a long and evolving history with interesting transitions in line with economic, technological and political change. Every time we drive to school, use our heater or air conditioner, clean our windows, or even style our hair, we make choices that affect air pollution. It’s important to be mindful of our impact. Very small decisions times 7 million make a huge difference, even if we don’t think so.

In this episode, Lori with the North Texas Council of Governments discusses the work she is doing and how you can help the environment.

The green building movement has both benefited and been harmed by the development of green building rating systems. The benefit is that the rating systems have introduced people to the issues of ecological design in easy to grasp pieces. The harm has occurred because people think that green design is about simply adding these pieces to a project; potentially adding cost, inefficiency, and in some cases actually more harm to the environment.

Sustainable design requires a different mindset or mental model. This model enables looking at systems in a more complete way. Instead of looking at just the physical elements of the building, the invisible connections between the elements need to be understood.

In this episode, Bill Reed of Regenesis discusses how integrative thinking improves the design process to deliver high performing buildings that enrich communities and create healthy environments.

Most businesses rely on abundant water to operate. Access to uninterrupted water is expected to be as reliable as electricity. While energy conservation programs have become established and have documented cost savings to support them, water costs have remained low and water conservation has not been a major initiative for many companies. Energy conservation is easier to manage at points of use, while water has been more difficult to collect data to provide insights to reduce water consumption. The better we measure water use, the better we are able to manage it and derive the most value from this finite resource.

In this episode, Pete Baldwin of Hydro Tech discusses the various opportunities and strategies facility managers and owners can deploy conserve water through advanced cooling tower management and why water is becoming more important for buildings.

What is the best way for you to position your building from a valuation standpoint? Are there strategies that designers can use to collaborate better with developers & building owners to improve the market value of high performance buildings? Because these buildings are different, owners have had to change not only how they design, build, and market, but also how they approach financing and construction processes. Otherwise you may pay for green—with certifications, capital improvements, and marketing—and not fully realize the expected market benefits.

Moving beyond the value that accrues to owners from rents, operational savings, and market recognition at sale, this guide will help building owners and developers understand the appraisal process and how green, high performance characteristics and data can be used by appraisers to help fully maximize valuation. Through educated realtors and appraisers in the commercial & residential markets, this can be achieved in most markets in the US.

REthink39 is devoted to lowering the 39% of U.S. energy consumption attributed to the built environment and believes they can be part of a solution with every transaction closed. Craig Foley is the founder of Sustainable Real Estate Consulting Services, a LEED Green Associate and chief sustainability officer for LAER Realty Partners. Craig’s combination of real estate and energy management skills give him a unique perspective about sustainable energy solutions and subject matter expertise on greening the MLS and high-performance home valuation and marketing.

In this episode, Craig explains why its important to know your building appraiser and collaborate on green building practices to drive real estate value.

Most utilities have funds that are available for owners/developers to help offset the first cost premium of energy efficiency projects, while maximizing long-term operational savings. To encourage energy efficiency, governments, utilities and other organizations offer energy efficiency and other financial incentives to make energy efficiency more accessible for today’s homes and businesses.

Often these are not capitalized and are missed opportunities; especially for those projects already designing energy efficient buildings as a base standard; leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. JEC Energy Solutions help small municipalities, Independent School Districts (ISDs) and rural assets and other large commercial project owners capture these funds in markets that provide these financial incentives. In addition to energy conservation methods and systems, Carlos is helping to develop of solar lighting units for parks, pathways and street applications.

In this episode, we discuss the various opportunities and strategies design teams and owners can use to make efficiency projects work without breaking the bank.
