The challenge for architects is to achieve the optimal daylighting conditions throughout the schools they design.

The University of California, Irvine’s new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building was designed with three major performance and aesthetic goals in mind: natural lighting, energy efficiency and sustainable design.

There is one type of refrigeration cycle that has the potential to provide clean, low-carbon air conditioning: absorption refrigeration.

One of the most significant drivers behind metal building designs’ popularity is their cost. 

Inclusive design is deeply connected to sustainable design and the world will need both in order to build a better future in architecture.

Every air conditioning unit that uses vapor compression refrigeration contains chemical refrigerant mixes that absorb and release heat to enable a cooling effect through heat transfer.

Installing distributed energy resources throughout buildings can effectively help us achieve carbon-neutrality goals.

Energy-efficient building is one of the most important trends in construction today. As climate issues grow increasingly prevalent, construction firms face rising pressure to create more eco-friendly buildings.

Today we’re excited to be joined by Maria Redmond, the Director for the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy for the Department of Administration in Wisconsin.

A life-cycle impact assessment (LCIA) essentially serves as the "what does it mean" step in the broader process of conducting a life-cycle assessment (LCA) for a product or material.
