Disruptive—and Green
Proof in the Making
In all these case studies, the genius of today’s green building innovations are clearly in the details, say the architects involved. Careful planning and application are essential to ensuring a successful and sustainable outcome. But the investment is worth it because payoff can be significant, including the benefits of proper project controls rather than cost reductions and “value engineering.” In addition, there is the “positive ROI for clients” over the use phase of the building spaces, according to Carrier Johnson CULTURE’s Krumdieck.
Passive House and new health-related considerations are shown to have strong positive correlations with increased occupant satisfaction, project values, and general well-being for the people who live in and near the buildings, adds design firm thread collective’s Nandan. In fact, she emphasizes, clients are seeing a positive return on investment here, and not just “doing the right thing” for the earth.
