\\INTERNAL PRESENTATION

\\USGBC GREENBUILD CONFERENCE

INTERNAL OFFICE PRESENTATION

\\ Kartik Sharma | A/2930/2016

\\INTERNAL PRESENTATION

The USGBC Greenbuild Conference was held on the 6th - 7th February, 2020. Gensler being a USGBC member was given a chance to attend the various lectures offered at the venue - ITC Gardenia, Bangalore.

A choice of 18 lectures was given to be attended over 2 days with 3 lectures taking place simultaneously i.e., one had to choose 1 of 3 lectures per session. Being the only one from Genlser attending the conference, the following is a brief overview of the Internal Presentation outlining the experience and The conference was presided by the President and general learning from the conference. CEO of USGBC and GBCI - Mr. Mahesh Ramanujan. This conference was attended not only by professionals of Architecture background, but even Engineering, Interior Design, Business and Educational backgrounds. DE-CODING GREEN CODES, STANDARDS AND RATING SYSTEMS This lecture elucidated and explored the differences between Codes, Standards and Rating systems - the major difference - them being mandatory, ideal and aspirational respectively. Also Codes are usually the bare minimum that need to be incoorporated in the design (legally speaking) while Standards and Rating Systems seem to incentivise the higher benchmarks of green initiatives.

BUILDING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY: THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF BUILT ENVIRONMENTS Trash and garbage being a forefront environment degredation contributor, the idea of circular economy seems to do away with the idea of garbage generation in all possible cases by utilising the waste produced as primary materials for other processes. The lecture and interaction here emphasized on the importance of this circular ideology when it comes to manufacture of products and services but till now, there is not a widescale practice of a circular setup in the field of core architecture as majority of the projects end up in landfill at the end of their lifecycle. \\ Kartik Sharma | A/2930/2016

\\INTERNAL PRESENTATION TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE START: DECISION MAKING PROCESS DURING MASTER PLANNING THROUGH ANALYSIS This lecture was conducted in an attempt to inform the audience of the advantages in terms of design quality and workability when each step of design is properly analysed so as to make an informed decison. Conducted by an Architect from the offices of Haffeez Contractor Architects, they eplained the advantages using their own real time and award winning projects which was actually very insightful and inspiring.

SUSTAINABILITY AND EQUITY LEADERSHIP WITH LEED FOR CITIES AND COMMUNITIES This lecture had a number of speakers, all from different organisations and backgrounds. One talked about the LEED standards and how they were able to make Dubai the first LEED Platinum City. The next speaker was a part of the Bangalore Public Action Comittee (BPAC), who worked to inspire the idea of civic engagement and social resposibilities as the duty of all citizens and especially the professionals for a better neighbourhood. The final speaker was a memeber of the Auroville community who walked us through the concept and genesis of the society at Auroville.

NET POSITIVE BANGALORE: STRESSED TO WATER POSSITIVE -

WATER

With decreasing resources, especially in Bangalore where the green cover has plumetted from 70% in 1970s to <2% in 2020, this lecture was aimed towards identifying the roots of these problems and then adopting strategies from various projects done to improve the conditions. Case studies of campuses such as IIM, Trichy and Infosys, Hubli were studied and even IoT solutions in practices were explored.

MATERIAL CERTIFICATIONS AND BEYOND: INSIGHTS FROM THE INDIAN MARKET Mostly taking from the LEED v4.1, this session defined what is refered to as “Better” materials as materials with an overall low carbon, healthy and circular cycle. Importance of Lifecycle Assessments (LCA), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Product Category Rules (PCR) were explored while also informing on how to stay vigilante and avoiding the “Greenwashed” materials which use vague descriptions and legal loopholes to sound ‘green’ when they actually are the very opposite.

VISUALIZING CARBON: A DESIGN APPROACH TO EMBODIED CARBON

\\ Kartik Sharma | A/2930/2016

\\GENSLER GRANT PROPOSAL

A COLLABORATIVE PROPOSAL FOR THE GENSLER RESEARCH GRANT WHILE WORKING WITH AR. ERIK BARTH (BOSTON, USA) AND TEAM.

Visualizing Carbon: A Design Approach to Embodied Carbon Project Description (max. 300 words) Our goal is to identify the best construction materials to use for embodied carbon benefits given a particular project location and type. The construction industry is currently the cause of about 40% of all global carbon emissions. Designing with low embodied carbon materials will enable us to reach our GC3 goals to tackle climate change and further link value to resilient design. Our research will create spaces that appeal to the full human experience of place and meaning tied to a sound sustainability story. We will use mass timber as a baseline construction material due to its ability to sequester carbon, minimize waste and construction efficiency. Gensler has currently designed over 5,000,000 square feet of mass timber projects, solidifying our global leadership role in the industry. We will then apply the methodology used for mass timber analysis to other construction materials. The framework for our analysis will be based on the entire lifecycle of products from manufacturing to end of life. These four steps to our research and deliverables are achievable over the coming year and can be scaled to incorporate further study: 1. Definition of embodied carbon for mass timber 2. Analysis of regional availability and transportation offsets 3. Translation to other products (concrete, steel, etc.) 4. Comparison to other projects, firms and operational carbon How will your research deliver client value? To what kinds of projects, clients, and/or audiences will this research be applicable? (max. 300 words) Our research will deliver client value by illuminating the complex carbon story behind material choices for current and future projects. Our goal is to create a system to weigh embodied carbon against regional material availability to build a sound sustainability story. Shifting the value perception of materials based on embodied carbon will be fundamental in serving our clients and achieving our firmwide GC3 goal to further link value to resilient design. To anticipate future client demand, we will develop the methodology for the design and client teams to better understand embodied carbon as it applies to their particular project and community. We will document, analyze and compare client directed studies from active projects like PMX in Toronto and relevant studies from partner organizations. From our findings, we will create visual aids and an interactive tool for clients and Gensler designers to better understand material design implications. The content we create can be used to educate and encourage clients who are not already considering the issue of embodied carbon to factor it into their decision making. Although our clients typically have admirable sustainability goals, key project players often struggle to understand how they can be achieved. Clients like Sidewalk Labs, Google, Amazon and others are actively asking for Gensler to deliver embodied carbon metrics. Our research and findings will empower clients and designers to see the true â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carbon valueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in design choices as directly linked to the financial bottom line. How will you conduct the research? What will be your key outcomes and deliverables? (max. 300 words) Like our team, our study is multi-regional. We have a comprehensive understanding of project types and clients based on our involvement in projects around the country and world. We will pick up where partner organizations Generate Technologies MIT, Tallwood Institute, and Atelier 10 research have left off to translate carbon analysis into a Gensler specific format. Based on our findings, we will implement methodologies used by these organizations on other Gensler projects to understand embodied carbon in context. We will limit the initial study variables to mass timber and mixed use buildings in the northeast, northwest and southwest regions. Expanding on prior study, we will weigh the carbon impact based on material sourcing, transportation metrics, and project-specific criteria. With the system we create for these first two steps, we can translate the study to other materials like concrete, steel, aluminum and others. From the data and findings, we will produce the following deliverables: 1. A presentation that compiles research findings into a cohesive format that can be used by clients and designers alike. This abstract would review global trends and strategy to reduce embodied carbon in Gensler projects. 2. A guide that hierarchically ranks project types and regions based on the carbon profile of a particular material. For example, CLT may have the lowest embodied carbon footprint when used in an 160,000 SF office building in the southeast region of the United States. 3. An interactive tool that produces material recommendations based on early project metrics. This tool would translate project location and size into a ranked embodied carbon material list.This tool could be applied to other materials and contexts for systems comparison. Do you plan to partner with any external collaborators? If so, please list: We are actively engaged with Atelier 10 on PMX Toronto and have a completed, detailed carbon study we will reference and build upon. Our team has an open dialogue for potential future collaboration with Generate Technologies/MIT, who have done similar life cycle analysis of mass timber. These and other potential partners are listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
