For our latest podcast, we talked to Myrrh Caplan, who is Senior VP for Sustainability at Skanska and leads the construction company's national sustainability team. Since joining Skanska as a Project Manager in 2005, Myrrh has helped shape Skanska's national approach to sustainable building. She established the company's first national Green Construction program and chaired Skanska's first National Green Council. Myrrh has advised on nearly 300 certified projects and projects seeking LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL, Envision, and other certifications. She sits on the board of mindfulMaterials, serves on several industry committees, and participates in research with key partners. We heard from Myrrh about her passion for weaving a positive legacy through the work, and how she brings that to the projects and to the overall enterprise. She speaks about her team as a family that is “in it together” and she is proud of how shared success, to this group of people, “comes before egos.”  She told us about a recent accomplishment, her work on the Associated General Contractors Playbook on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting in construction (https://www.agc.org/climate-change-playbook). And we couldn't resist asking Myrrh to talk about some notable recent projects, including PDX (the new airport in Portland, Ore., designed by ZGF) and the Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station (in New York City, designed by SOM). 

In this episode of “Knowledge Counts”, host Wendy Hobbs speaks with Stephani Carter, Owner and CEO of EcoAmmo Sustainable Consulting. They will be discussing the benefits of bringing everyone in early on a construction project to identify and mitigate risks as soon as possible.

Sam Kelsey and guest Julia Halioua from the Footprint Company continue their discussion about green construction, looking at carbon emissions from a contractor's perspective. With a large portion of a contractor's emissions coming from its supply chain, Sam and Julia offer tips on how contractors can reduce their emissions and effect change in the industry.

Sam Kelsey chats with guest Julia Halioua from the Footprint Company about green construction, which is sustainable and environmentally friendly construction with a focus on carbon emissions. Sam and Julia discuss carbon emissions from a developer's point of view: what are they? How are they measured? What can you do to reduce emissions? And why should you?

There's a new organization in Nova Scotia whose goal is to share best practices around sustainability in the construction sector.

Micah and Jared sit down to speak with Solar States customer and sustainable builder Ralph Loielo.

Following the Green Recovery Conference on the 27th June, we brought colleagues together to ask the question: How can South West Wales lead the way in green construction and the decarbonisation of our buildings? The Green Recovery Conference was held in the Brangwyn Hall with over 160 businesses joining us to discuss a number of solutions to the challenges we face on the road to becoming a greener city. This event was organised around 8 Opportunity Areas, which hosted interactive discussions and provided ideas and solutions to key themes. SPECIFIC hosted the Buildings area and provided some insight into this key opportunity area.

8:12 - Arman: Building codes are moving towards being very software centric, meaning if you want to get your building in compliance with codes you need to use a variety of software tools. This is common practice for many construction industry professionals but for energy, this is new. So there is this significant need for software that can make innovation in the building sector possible, primarily focused on building efficiency.9:35 - Arman: Our focus right now is to make it really easy for builders, renovators, home owners, etc. to get an idea of how their home is performing and how they could make it more energy efficient. 10:10 - Arman: Over the last few years, this has turned into a very beneficial service with information about costing, carbon data, and lots of building technologies and assemblies.11:30 - Arman: Buildings are one of the most important areas that we need to all be focusing on from a carbon emissions reduction standpoint. Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which is a body trying to make macro-level change in the climate, looked at the five biggest sectoral challenges in the climate fight and those are manufacturing, transportation, electricity, agriculture and buildings and the only sector that had an easier time transitioning to the greener economy is buildings and that's because with buildings, you're already saving money when you're greening your building. And this concept is called the green premium. If you want to make a product in a greener fashion you might have to pay 10 or 20% more but for buildings, we're already past that threshold. For buildings, it is already more cost effective to improve energy efficiency in buildings than it is to leave them as they are. The real challenge isn't the technologies or the economics of the situation - it is the market perception and the inertia of the market. Very often when I talk about these things with educational partners I really feel that I'm trying to sell a website to people who don't know what a computer is. You have to first explain to them what the technology is. And it might not create that lightbulb moment in the first interaction. The conversation is continuous. We really need to start normalizing the fact that energy efficient buildings aren't here because we just haven't done it yet. 14:45 - Tony: Trying to change the minds of engineers and builders around the world to trust plastic, and especially recycled plastic, instead of always using concrete or brick, that is difficult. Education ends up reducing cost. But it is also my greatest challenge right now. 19:55 - Arman: A lot of people look at something like the Canadian Greener Homes Grant and see just $5000 but what I see is intent and one more tool that we can have in our toolbox to make homes more energy efficient. And that can really change things. One of the major factors in any new build is, how much is this going to cost. And every little bit really counts. You will not only see reduced energy costs with a retrofit but you will see an increase in the value of the home, for example. When the housing market is also so intense, these sorts of grants really start to make a difference in peoples' calculation of whether to invest in changes to improve efficiency. 

Over the past century, glass and steel have reigned supreme in the construction industry. However, green construction may eclipse traditional construction methods, as skyscrapers made of wood are becoming more common, and hemp has shown its value as an alternative material for furniture, insulation, and even rebar.

Buying carbon offsets when you take a flight or build a building can sound a little bit like cheating. Should it really be as simple as paying your way to net-zero? Do these offsets actually do anything, or are they more like sustainability cryptocurrency… just tokens that only have value because we say they do. David Oliver is CEO and founder of Greenlines technology, a company that allows people to access carbon markets. He's someone who knows where your offsetting money goes, and how the carbon market works. Join the Building Good Podcast Community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

One of the top Google searches that land people on my website is “new home smell.” I've been aware of the issues with construction for nearly 20 years - my career started as a green building consultant where my job was to call manufacturers of various building materials to ask about the ingredients and VOC content. So I'm somewhat disheartened that this problem persists. But also not surprised.Because of the trend of people coming to my blog post on getting rid of the new home smell (I'll link that in the show notes if that's you), I wanted to help those who are building or renovating avoid this problem in the first place.So for this episode, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Lindsey Tourand, the Head of Innovation at Kiwi Innovation - a green building firm based in British Columbia, Canada. I know Lindsey from my days working in consulting engineering and know he's the real deal. This is a recording of a conversation we had in early 2020 for clients in The Healthy Home Collective.We covered:What you should consider before hiring a design & construction teamHow to define what green & healthy means for youWhat's the most important factor when designing a new homeHow to optimize indoor air qualityWhat to think about when insulatingThe worst-offending productsBudget-friendly tipsResources for homeownersLinks Mentioned:Kiwi Innovation's Website: https://vivakiwi.com/Green Building Advisor: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/The Endeavour Centre: https://endeavourcentre.org/A Pretty Good House: https://www.prettygoodhouse.org/How to Get Rid of That New Home Smell Blog Post: https://greenathome.ca/6-ways-to-get-rid-of-toxic-new-home-smell/Guide to Healthy Construction & Renovations: https://greenathome.ca/construction*****Green Product Forum: https://facebook.com/groups/greenproductforumInstagram: https://instagram.com/emma_greenathomeWebsite: https://greenathome.ca

Looked upon as the “go-to” expert for all things re building and beyond, Scott's been interviewed by a wide variety of talk and news shows. From building “green” or conventional to “fire-proofing” your home, to spiritual/metaphysical to scientific to luxurious lifestyle and empowerment. His path to where he is now with a multimillion dollar company and aligning himself with premier AIA architect William Hefner (Studio William Hefner), is also quite an inspirational success story…overcoming obstacles, holding to his vision. Scott has not only redefined what a home should be, but his vision has reached millions, stretching what we thought was the norm for simple construction. Scott's vision, creativity and mission reach farther than mere construction. Unlike other building contractors, Scott has a fresh, inspirational, unique perspective and knowledge about life, building (residential/commercial) and how it all really affects our lives...what we can do to be proactive in making changes to improve the quality of our lives...mentally, emotionally, spiritually. He brings you to a new level of awareness, which is not only an eye-opener, but entertaining as well. He applies his expertise and insight to every jaw-dropping, creme de la creme, multi-million dollar property including LEED Platinum certified home of noted actor-environmentalist, Ed Begley Jr. Scott is a favorite among a long list of billionaires and celebrities (e.g., Paul Allen, Taio Cruz, actors Kevin James and Kevin Costner, John Paul DeJoria, London's Savoy Hotel, LA's AOC restaurant, San Francisco's Saint Francis Hotel, restaurants for Gordon Ramsay and Michel Mina. An articulate, unique writer and photographer, Scott is a continuing contributor for select publications including GLADYS and Builder & Developer national magazines. He's been interviewed and covered just about any topic from: DIYs to trends in building homes, remodeling, empowerment, sustainability, celebrities, home improvement, lifestyle, celebrity homes, architecture, metaphysics, interior design, health, repurposing, recycling, deconstruction, new technology, “green” ecology, building, design, cooking (yes cooking)…and building as an art form. GLADYS Magazine listed Scott as one of their top 100 favorite influencers in their fall 10th Anniversary issue along with “A” listers such as Oprah, Gordon Ramsey, Martha Stewart, and Madonna! Scott also has a strong presence in other media platforms. Malibu's Choice Award for Green Construction 2017 Recipient, his unique approach to building has landed him guest and featured appearances in numerous, highly respected media outlets such as Hallmark Channel's Home & Family Show, Lifestyle Magazine TV, Studio 11 Fox News, Spectrum News, Hal Eisner's “In Depth,” “What The Hal?” CBS, TV, KTLA, HGTV, Adam Carolla Show, Evox Television, and national magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Luxe, House Beautiful, Interior Design, Builder & Developer, Los Angeles Times, Metropolitan Home, Oprah, Going Organic, Traditional Home, Cliche, Milieu, Focus, Gladys and many more. At the age of 5, Scott spent his childhood inventing contraptions and experimenting on how to perfect a home. He was consumed with a fascination about the way things work and dreamed of becoming a builder. When Scott was 15 years old, after following his calling and wining numerous awards for his work, his teacher selected him for an experimental curriculum to immerse him in the world of architecture, construction and design. Following his passion at the age of 20, he earned his general contractor's license and launched his business building his client's home by day and designing them by night. Although his services were quickly sought after, he felt that a better understanding of design could elevate the final product. Scott temporarily put his clients on hold after he was hand-selected to study and work with one of the world's most influential designers, Barbara Barry. He focused for over five years learning the best-kept trade secrets of design, harmonies and mathematical proportions. He continued to gain even more valuable experience and further evolve his design insights while working at the prestigious Studio Hefner. After weaving 24 years of construction, architecture and interior design experience, as COO, Scott Harris co-founded Building Construction Group in 2005 with stellar AIA architect, William Hefner. The firm is based on placing the client's needs first and bringing a welcomed, well-rounded, luxury five-star product & service experience that has been sought out by many of Los Angeles' elite. This unique philosophy has quickly turned this company into one of the most respected construction firms in Los Angeles. Scott is deemed one the foremost building (general) contractors and the industry's noted “triple threat” (design, architecture and building) “go-to” experts for residential and commercial properties specializing in environmental (“green”), new technology, renovation, deconstruction, reconstruction, restoration and building as an art form. ABOUT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION GROUP: Building Construction Group was founded on the principals of building integrity, transparency and the revival of old-world honor and respect. Combining the lost art of construction and home in a modern, environmentally sensitive, luxury 5-star client-centric experience, BCG gives rise to new opportunities for clients and many of the finest craftsmen. The firm is one of the few that has an inherent sensitivity to design, as well as their client's vision and voice. They offer grounded guidance to their clients throughout the process and they relentlessly seek new ways to remain at the forefront of technological advancements, sustainable living and design. Building Construction Group's COO and co-founder, Scott Harris, is a multifaceted leader with extensive and comprehensive experience in design, architecture and construction management. This more rounded business approach has helped to create a more streamlined development of quality projects, ultimately creating a uniquely elevated product, earning them a place as one of Los Angeles' most respected and premier construction firms as well as Scott receiving 'Malibu's Choice Award' for Green Construction 2017.

Warren also spoke to his recent article about the Alberta Throne speech and industry reaction to its sweeping regulatory and fiscal changes, and has an interview from the Canada Green Building Council's recent conference where he talked to PCL Construction's Chris Palmer about using sensors, cloud-based data and machine learning to make the construction process more efficient. JOC News Service

“In 2015, about 40% of total U.S. energy consumption was consumed in residential and commercial building” According to the U.S. Green Building Council, “In the United States alone, buildings account for almost 40 percent of national CO2 emissions and out-consume both the industrial and transportation sectors, but LEED-certified buildings have 34 percent lower CO2 emissions, consume 25 percent less energy and 11 percent less water, and have diverted more than 80 million tons of waste from landfills. 1 [1]“   Listen to Jessyca Henderson, Managing Director, Policy and Community Relations at The American Institute of Architects (AIA) tell us about how building construction is changing, the impact of the new green construction code and what it means for you. “The IgCC is the first model code to include sustainability measures for the entire construction project and its site — from design through construction, certificate of occupancy and beyond. The new code is expected to make buildings more efficient, reduce waste, and have a positive impact on health, safety and community welfare.” She’ll also talk about women seeking careers in sustainable building.
