Booked on Planning

The Power of Existing Buildings


Listen Later

We discuss the potential of high-performance buildings as we sit down with Robert Sroufe, Craig Stevenson, and Beth Eckenrode, the minds behind "The Power of Existing Buildings." Imagine transforming existing structures into sustainable powerhouses by prioritizing passive systems, upgrading active systems, and embracing renewables in that order. Our conversation dismantles the myth of prohibitive costs in building redevelopment, advocating instead for a holistic view that values long-term benefits, operational savings, and enhanced occupant health.
