Understanding and Choosing Metrics for Building Performance Standards

whitePaper | July 21, 2022

President Biden has called for net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by 2050. Accomplishing this will require increasing efficiency, vastly increasing renewable energy capacity, and transitioning from fossil fuels to clean electricity. Buildings have a critical role to play in achieving each of these objectives. This paper proposes a framework for determining which metrics are best suited for policies to move existing commercial and multifamily buildings forward on the path toward zero carbon emissions. Choosing the right metrics is necessary for effective policies, but it is not sufficient to achieving a just and inclusive energy transition. Building performance policies — in conjunction with other complementary policies — must bring the benefits of improved performance to those living in affordable housing andhistorically underserved communities, and at the same time ensure that the cost of compliance does not create new burdens. Jurisdictions must consider the impact of policy decisions on equitable outcomes, particularly with respect to establishing performance levels, options for compliance, and penalties for non-compliance.

Advanced construction enterprise platform

whitePaper | September 11, 2022

Construction projects often feel like different worlds governed by different rules, flows, regulations, and procedures – but with a single, common goal. The goal is clear but getting there proves much more difficult than it should be. That’s why we decided to sync and empower them to move forward at the same pace right from the start. Constream is a suite of connected modules, where each one is focused on recreating a specific construction management process and serving solutions to day-to-day problems. Our ecosystem is designed with blockchain technology at its core in order to exploit the full potential of decentralization and fragmentation of the construction industry. Why revolutionize something that only needs to evolve?
