Buildings
What will it take to turn our buildings from sterile mausoleums into living ecosystems? Can we reinvent buildings to be less like economic factories and more like human communities? I am excited about three evolving standards: living, well and active buildings. Living Buildings focus on creating regenerative spaces that are self-sufficient, healthy and beautiful, producing more energy than they use and treating all water on site. WELL certified buildings enhance human health and wellbeing. And Active Buildings, demonstrated at Swansea University, intelligently integrate renewable energy technologies for heat, power and EV transport. Is your building due for an upgrade?
