We are always happy to receive a handwritten note after our team gives a presentation! Would your project team like to learn more about where chemicals are in the built environment? Let the materials experts show you the ropes and how R2G can help everyone gain a deeper understanding of product chemistry!
Founded in 2010, Integrated Eco Strategy (IES) supports project teams as they pursue the world’s most challenging green building design standards, by facilitating sustainable and regenerative building design, renovation and construction. The company is recognized as a pioneer in helping project teams create Full Living buildings. To efficiently navigate and attain the Living Building Challenge’s Materials Petal, arguably the most rigorous LBC facet, IES has developed an innovative, industry-leading approach to researching and classifying healthy building materials.
Last week, Lisa Carey Moore, IES’s senior sustainability manager, and Matt Root, senior project manager, participated in the Living Building Challenge: Materials Petal Deep Dive workshop hosted by the USGBC and the Living Building Collaborative of New England.
I joined an eye-opening presentation at the Net Positive Symposium for Higher Education, held at the RW Kern Center in Amherst last week. Heather Henriksen, Harvard University’s Chief of sustainability, opened “Translating Science into Best Practice to Deliver Healthier Materials” with the question we all should be asking: “Just how many chemicals have we banned in our country?”
