Materials Selection: Extraction to Construction

Presenters: 

• Beth Jamieson and Jessie Templeton: Brightworks

• Jeff Olivares, Kerry Phillips: Lake Flato,

• Amy Running: Bora

• Jack Rusk: C-Scale

The annual AIAO COTE Green Champion Summit brings to you the sustainability leaders from around the country and the region. This year the summit will focus on the tools readily available in the architect’s toolbox, material selection, to inform design and construction that can reduce embodied carbon, promote zero waste, reduce human health and environmental impacts,  and acknowledge the significance of participation by all communities. By committing to responsible material sourcing, we can design and build elegant structures that can better weave into our urban and rural infrastructure. With an exciting panel of speakers from Lake Flato, Bora, Brightworks, and C Scale, you will gain a better understanding of how zero carbon structures can be built and tracked and learn the tools that can strengthen your ability to better select products, with time for audience participation and discussion with the panel speakers.
