Every cubic meter of #Garnicaplywood locks away about 500 kg of #CO2, and the mills behind it run on 100% #renewableelectricity.

We’ve spent two decades pulling #concrete out of #buildings to cut #carbon, and quietly lost the thermal mass that kept rooms comfortable. #MickDunn’s fix rides in on something every project already installs: the #ceilingtile.

Nathan Kegel spent 20-plus years in #energymodelling. Now he’s at a materials science startup, #building the simulation engine that tests its products before they ever reach a roof.

#LEED used to be the strategy. Now it’s one of maybe 20 tools. #MariannaPalmour went from reviewing LEED projects to building a corporate #ESG program from scratch at a 5,000-person firm, and she explains why your biggest clients’ Scope 3 targets are about to become your problem.

What happens when #AIadoption runs headfirst into energy constraints? Josh Rainbow sees #technology, #infrastructure, #power, and #sustainability becoming increasingly interconnected — and believes the winners will be the people who can turn emerging technology into measurable

The next era of green building won't be defined by how much data we collect. It will be defined by what we do with it. Etrit Demaj joins Green Building Matters to unpack the shift from static sustainability reporting to operational intelligence—and what it means for the future

#Sustainability isn’t just about #reducingcarbon or earning certifications — it’s about creating places where people can thrive.

Dave Hubka has spent 20+ years turning “up to code” into “why would we settle for that?” — and his approach of building sustainability directly into the spec (instead of waiting for a client to ask) is a playbook every green building professional can steal.

Only 3% of people on a building project can actually open a #BIMfile — Ken Rhee is fixing that, and using #AI and sensors to turn “as-built” data into real-time building intelligence that pays off in #energy, #insurance, and #assetvalue.
