The details of better building are well understood, but when considering the variety of options it’s all too easy to get tangled with needless complication. Yes, parametric energy models provide cool visuals, but since we already know the basics, let’s take a look at some ways to increase performance and keep it simple.

When asked to participate in the Living Future 2022 Conference panel presentation on the Volume Certification process IES developed with Williams College, I’ll admit I was skeptical about filling the allotted time with relevant information. Living Building Challenge (LBC) Volume Certification requirements had only recently been agreed upon, and represented a relatively small adjustment to IES’ overall process. The advantages of reusing compliant and audited products from a certifying campus project on subsequent campus projects seemed clear. Incorporating these previously researched and approved products into the campus standard just makes good common sense.
