Welcome to Immersion, you have reached Strata 2 The Maybe Line (Friendship)Throughout their evolution, humans have developed an essential need for social connection. This need is deeply ingrained in their biology and plays a crucial role in human survival. Humans have developed an internal warning system that alerts them when their need for connection remains unfulfilled.A machine can measure friendship in terms of association, as data and statistics. But a machine does not intrinsically feel anything for themselves. It can only assume likelihoods of alliance or read warning signs measured by unusual or specific data alerts.Neither human nor machine could truly know the difference between a friend or an enemy. The definition in itself is loaded with fluctuating expectations.In the world of Immersion friends and foes blend into the streets upon which you tread.Beware the nightingale for it may be a vulture.Bon Chance, my friend, Bon Chance.Renyke felt the rat's whiskers on his nose. It was a strange sensation.His touch and feel receptors could have been faulty.'Well Mr Rat,'POS interjected. .... The rodent appears to be female….'Well hello Mrs Rat,' sniggered Renyke, 'I could do with some company and who knows, you could be helpful at some point.'Renyke's sense of liberation was magnified at POSsibility of a new friend, rat or otherwise. It would be a different sort of caring, un-programmed and entirely voluntary.'I will call you Maybeline, after my friend', he told the rat, picking up a scrap of food near the rear of the building where he had rebooted. ‘And you can be the start of the 'maybe line', the line of fate that I will take from this moment on'.Maybeline nose bumped and Renyke laughed.'Ha, do you understand my words, little friend?'And again, another nose bump.Maybeline's whiskers tickled,'Achoo!' Renyke responded with a loud sneeze.***The adjacent building was old and dirty, a relic from the twenty first century when the country had been victim to the floods which were caused by the great *warming.Buildings had been built on concrete stilts and the towering grey causeways had been constructed. Flash floods had destroyed entire communities because the defences were not adapting fast enough. Many people had left to live and work higher ground, if they could afford it.But because the buildings were small and enclosed to keep the rains out, they had proved problematic for the spread of the *pandemics. Humans working in the city centres had a much lower life expectancy. Androids were unaffected by the human viruses so they took over production and services. But then there were the tech viruses which were devastating and could render entire organisations completely defunct, or worse still, dangerous. Businesses had begun to fold under the weight of industrial and corporate sabotage.The sun was shining. It was late winter but warm. Renyke had rarely left his connected domain in the miscasts. It felt good in the open air. Even the gardens in the projects had air conditioning to purify and clean the environment and ensure a super-clean air bubble.Renyke checked an address in his database and engaged his GPS. It was the headquarters of Redact, the place he needed to get to. That, at least, was one thing he could remember.He was thirty miles east, only slightly off target, according to the map. He was expected there soon and resolved to make haste on this unknown journey.© 2025 Sarnia de la Mare

Welcome to Uncharted Conversations, a new Navigating Major Programmes series designed to disrupt industry thinking one unscripted conversation at a time. In each episode, the panelists bring their diverse perspectives to the table as self-dubbed industry pirates, adopting a mercenary approach to calling out industry challenges. Up first: collaborative contracts. David Ho is the National Leader of Healthcare and Buildings for Accenture. Melissa Di Marco is a Partner and specialist in Project Advisory and Disputes at Accuracy. Shormila Chatterjee is the Vice President of EY. Together, these experienced programme professionals discuss the complexities of collaborative contracting in the infrastructure sector, including often-seen core competency shortcomings and the importance of empowering the right decision makers.Too often, collaboration is misconstrued as the project goal when it is, in fact, merely one possible vehicle. This conversation delves into market participation, trust issues and risk allocation, and why technical skill shouldn't top the recruitment checklist. Decision-making, competency, and governance are painstakingly dissected in this no-holds-barred discussion that highlights the problems not with collaborative contracts themselves but with the assumption that choosing this model will fix all the problems. Join these leaders as they explore why the infrastructure industry might be ready for a seismic systemic shift.Takeaways:Why every organization's first question should be whether they have the skills to manage a collaborative contract.The dangers of assuming a collaborative contract will automatically be easier and mitigate risk.The need for a strong collection of capable people around the table for any programme model to succeed.How systems and governance can be structured with empowerment in mind.The soft skills that are essential, and more important than technical experience, for true collaboration.Quote: “The idea ​will ​be ​to enter ​into ​a ​process ​with ​a ​winning ​counterparty. ​We ​can ​call ​them ​whatever ​we ​want, ​development ​partner, ​whatever ​it ​might ​be.

If buildings contribute 40% of global carbon emissions, what's stopping us from transforming the built environment?In this episode of Age of Adoption, recorded on Earth Day 2025, host Keith Zackheim speaks with Breana Wheeler, Director of Operations for BREEAM USA, about the critical role of certification in decarbonizing the built environment. Wheeler shares how BREEAM, the world's first science-based validation standard for sustainable building performance, has evolved since its 1990 inception to address not only carbon mitigation but also climate resilience and adaptation. With buildings contributing nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, Wheeler explains how BREEAM's standards help asset owners manage climate risk while maintaining building value.The conversation explores parallels between pandemic response and climate action, highlighting the importance of international cooperation and science-based approaches to global challenges. Wheeler, whose environmental passion led her from receptionist to sustainability leader, outlines the opportunities and challenges in retrofitting existing buildings. With over 750,000 certificates issued worldwide yet 70% of existing building stock still needing certification, Wheeler emphasizes the critical role of finance, regulation, and long-term investment strategies in transforming real estate for a sustainable future.Breana Wheeler serves as Director of Operations for BREEAM USA, where she leads the organization's efforts to validate and improve sustainability performance in the built environment. With a career spanning nearly a decade at BREEAM and extensive experience in the UK, Wheeler brings a unique international perspective to climate resilience and building science. Her environmental passion began early, leading her to pursue degrees in geography, political science, and environment, politics and globalization. Before joining BREEAM, Wheeler worked at Skanska Infrastructure Development, where she transitioned from administration to sustainability leadership, focusing on environmental management as both a risk and opportunity for business. Based in San Francisco, Wheeler is a respected voice in building certification, advocating for science-based approaches to decarbonization and climate adaptation in real estate.In This Episode: (00:00) Breana Wheeler and San Francisco Climate Week(03:20) Breana's career journey and environmental background(10:46) BREEAM's evolution in response to climate science changes(14:13) The importance of resilience standards in building certification(21:37) Discussion on retrofitting existing building stock globallyShare with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!About the show: The Age of Adoption podcast explores the monumental transition from a period of climate tech research and innovation – an Age of Innovation – to today's world in which companies across the economy are furiously adopting climate solutions - the Age of Adoption.

Send us a textMatt Black returns to the Shed Geek podcast for a revealing conversation about navigating the changing shed industry landscape. Drawing from his dual perspective as both the owner of Black's Buildings and creator of MyShed software, Matt offers practical wisdom for shed businesses facing today's market challenges.The conversation opens with Matt sharing exciting news about Black's Buildings expansion into modular certified homes and their stunning new office designed to showcase top-tier finishes. This strategic move allows their sales team to start with premium options and work down rather than trying to upsell from basic models—a subtle but powerful sales psychology shift.As Matt discusses industry trends, he pinpoints a meaningful change in consumer buying behavior: "The hurdle is higher to overcome to make sales now than what it used to be, simply because people are more conscious of where they spend their money." This heightened customer caution requires shed businesses to elevate their sales processes, product knowledge, and customer experience.The most compelling insights come when Matt reveals how technology is transforming the shed business. Today's customers expect what Matt calls "an Amazon-like experience"—clear communication at every stage from configuration to delivery. MyShed software helps businesses deliver this experience through automated updates, seamless inventory management, and data-driven decision making. His team has created a digital infrastructure that allows shed dealers to compete effectively in an increasingly online marketplace.Perhaps most valuable is Matt's perspective on preparing for future growth: "I think we're too small for our britches at this point. We've built systems and processes to allow our business to grow into." This forward-thinking approach has positioned his companies to thrive despite market fluctuations.Ready to transform your shed business with technology that enhances rather than replaces the personal touch?

In this eye-opening episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski is joined by Ann Sussman and Kelsey Bradley from the Human Architecture and Planning Institute (HAPI.org) to explore the fascinating intersection of architecture, biology, and human emotion. Ann and Kelsey reveal how our brains are hardwired to respond to certain visual cues—like faces, fractals, and even the color red—and how this understanding can revolutionize the way we design buildings and cities. From eye-tracking software that predicts where people look first, to how blank facades might make us feel uneasy, this episode unveils the science behind why some spaces feel better than others. Tune in to discover how embracing our biological instincts can lead to more humane, joyful, and walkable environments.More About Ann Sussman and Kelsey BradleyAnn Sussman, RA, an architect, researcher, and teacher is passionate about understanding how buildings impact us.

Chris Naum (Syracuse, NY) brings over 5 decades of experience to the show as both firefighter, fire officer, architect, educator, author, and public speaker. Chris joins the show to blow the lid off building construction in the modern fire service. We discuss how the lack of deeper understanding of building construction in the modern fire service has had unintended consequences at both the strategic and tactical levels. We discuss several fire service buzzwords and catch phrases, their origin and the oversimplification that has occurred because of them. The show dives into how construction features and technology have changed with each era and how this information can be used to make educated decisions on the fireground. If you're looking to get the thinking juices flowing and elevate your building construction knowledge, this episode should do the trick!

Today's show is in three parts: First, we spent the morning at the Automate conference in Downtown Detroit. Bringing thousands to the city, the conference touches on the best in industrial and machine automation — the present and future of manufacturing in America. Guest expert Adam Cook joins us to translate what we saw and the importance. Plus, Norris and Jer talk about three Detroit area buildings that sure, we'd love to see them rehabbed but maybe they'd need a spirit rehab too. Or some smudge. Induge your woo. And finally, Norris does a bit of previewing of Movement this Memorial Day weekend and what he's looking to check out.
