The new☀🍀#Heliosflora Terminal for 🚆Metro de Granada looks gorgeous in night dress... This #photovoltaic and #green canopy gracefully integrates with #Granada's Vega’s periurban agrarian landscape. Established on pre-existing foundations, comprises 9000+ sqm of low-upkeep #flora and 1,600 #solar panels, fulfilling 10% of Metro's energy needs—exemplifying an elegant, bold, luminous, and lightweight #architectural #structure, affirming Metro’s #environmental stewardship. I feel privileged for having had the opportunity of participating in the #design of such a remarkable infrastructure for my home city, that is the kind of work I dreamt about when I was a student at the ETS Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de Granada, because this is what #CivilEngineering is about in my view: addressing the needs of the society by adopting top-notch technologies to upgrade our life conditions with effective and functional infrastructure, and doing it with #style.

Next we hear from Flora Samuel, Author of Why Architects Matter and Professor at University of Cambridge. I was *hoping* she'd be here in person, but I will forgive her 1000 times for making a pre-recorded presentation for us. <><><> What do future architects need to *be* 1) Professional. isn't it obvious? Well, no. We must be super clear about what our knowledge is, be ethical and have high quality knowledge. Ethics: it Is NOT good enough to say "if I didn't design it someone else would have." This is an abdication of responsibility. (Me: I think about NEOM and The Line) Knowledge: firms like DEGW show that knowledge is business and knowledge is architecture. Knowledge is NOT merely understanding regulations and codes. We are talking about something else more robust. (not google or the person at he next desk) Why do architects not get knowledge from academic resources? "This is a wake up call to academics of how irrelevant we have become" Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a key piece of research that would reward those that are committed to continual improvement. The insurers must be on board with this. Architects must do it more. Data suggests that those that do POE get more return work. (me: this is what changed medicine as a professions - data on what works and what doesn't, even and especially, in matters of life and death) ((AH!! I got quoted with a diagram I made, see attached)) VALUE: economic - easy to quantify (relatively) environmental - getting there social - tricky! This is where architects have a lot more work to do and opportunity to demonstrate CHECK OUT - the social value toolkit from the RIBA https://lnkd.in/gvR7vYr7 Social value can be mapped spatially (search for Reading example) THEN - this mapped data can be connected to planning data and actually inform development and decision making around places. (me: my god Australia seems so far behind) THE POINT IS: Architects have the power to have positive affect on others. So, let's push that value (with real data). Values => Wellbeing => Value Remember the triple bottom line of Economic, Environmental and Social sustainability. REAL ESTATE: Tenants pay a premium for buildings/spaces that are demonstrably healthier environments. The connection to productivity and wellbeing has been demonstrated by many.

LEED Certification in a Week: Is It Feasible? Securing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification within a mere week, a process that traditionally spans months, might seem implausible. This article explores the viability, challenges, and strategies of expediting this renowned sustainability certification. LEED Certification Process: LEED certification adheres to stringent sustainability standards across categories like Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation. It involves thorough documentation, submission, and evaluation by certifying bodies like the USGBC. Challenges of Expedited Certification: Attempting rapid certification poses challenges. Comprehensive documentation to validate sustainability claims could be challenging to compile within such a short timeframe. The review process, involving meticulous scrutiny of evidence and design elements, might be compromised by time constraints. Hastily rushing through could lead to incomplete documentation and potential setbacks. Strategies for Swift Certification: While achieving LEED certification within a week is daunting, several strategies can facilitate the process: 1. **Prepared Documentation**: Gather project-related documentation in advance, including architectural plans, energy models, and material specifications. 2. **Engage Professionals**: Collaborate with experienced LEED-accredited professionals to navigate the process effectively. 3. **Choose the Right Project**: Opt for a project aligned with LEED requirements and existing sustainable practices. 4. **Focus on High-Impact Credits**: Prioritize credits with substantial point values achievable within the timeframe. 5. **Efficient Review**: Communicate time constraints to certifying bodies and inquire about expedited reviews. 6. **Thorough Documentation Review**: Review all documentation meticulously to avoid errors. 7. **Effective Communication**: Maintain clear communication with all stakeholders. Conclusion: Seeking LEED certification within a week requires careful planning, expertise, and streamlined execution. While not suitable for all projects, these strategies can enhance the likelihood of success. Accelerated efforts should still prioritize sustainability, ensuring the project's environmental impact remains uncompromised. #LEEDCertification #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #EnvironmentalDesign #LEEDProcess #SustainableDesign #BuildingCertification #GreenConstruction #LEEDAccredited #EnergyEfficiency #SustainablePractices #USGBC #LEEDProfessional #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoFriendly #SustainableBuildings #GreenArchitecture #LEEDCredits #LEEDProject #LEEDGoals #SustainableLiving #CarbonFootprint #GreenInnovation #LEEDJourney #SustainableFuture #GreenInitiatives #LEEDConsultant #LEEDAwareness
