Design and Integration New Sustainability

 

Many of us have worked on LEED projects over the last decade. But what about green building projects that go way beyond even LEED Platinum. What is it like to design and integrate AV systems for the world’s most demanding green buildings, where a building is required to be 105% efficient, 75% daylit, completely self-sustainable, with almost no toxic chemicals and required to provide a years worth of data proving it can stand up to the most rigorous green building requirements?  

Join our discussion on how our panelists successfully navigated the complex requirements of designing, implementing, and maintaining AV systems in Living Building Challenge (LBC) certified buildings. This dynamic panel discussion will explore the unique challenges and innovative solutions required when creating technology systems that meet the world's most rigorous proven performance standard for buildings. From dealing with Red List compliance in AV components to achieving net-positive energy requirements while maintaining high-performance systems, our panelists will share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and practical strategies for success.

Drawing from projects including the Bullitt Center, and the PAE Living Building, The Georgia Tech Kendeda Center and other groundbreaking Living Buildings, our experts will discuss how they overcame stringent power budgets, material restrictions, interdisciplinary integration, documentation requirements, and technical hurdles while creating systems that enhance the building's mission. Learn how to transform these rigorous requirements into opportunities for innovation and discover strategies for future-proofing your AV designs for increasingly sustainable buildings.
