Connexions Calendar

Living Architecture and Sustainable Energy - Toronto


December 04, 2013


Our modern building practices assume a high dependency on non-sustainable inputs and result in the deteriorating health of our environment. The construction industry, planners, design professionals, and policy makers are seeking solutions that obviate these conditions in practical and economic ways. The vegetating of building surfaces is widely perceived as a quintessential attribute of green architecture and promises a multitude of benefits. However, most applications are achieving a narrow range of possible benefits and are sometimes seen as competing with other strategies. This course will provide insights, strategies, examples, and tools for integrating living architecture into building services to capture synergies, enhance performance, and improve economic and health performance. Energy services will be a particular focus as these pertain to the most critical issue - how best to transition from fossil fuel usage to renewable energy and reverse global warming.
