AIA Conference 2024 | Joseph Mamayek, Design Principal, AIA, LEED AP: Powering Communities with Regenerative Design
May 21, 2024
Regenerative Design gives back to the grid and allows developers, architects, and project owners to achieve climate goals. SGA, as a leader in future-forward design and construction, is uniquely positioned to explain the steps required for this new way to build.
Lab buildings demand energy, but they can also give back. SGA is at the frontier of this effort. The EUI benchmarks of SGA’s projects are dramatically lower than the EUI averages for other notable lab buildings across the country. We are proud of our work and we continue to drive innovation forward, recognizing that even today’s best-case scenarios leave tremendous room for improvement and energy savings.
A mindset shift is required. SGA developed the following six commitments for Regenerative Design:
- Buildings must be designed for 500+ years
- Buildings must be intelligent, self-maintaining, and healing
- Designed eco-systems need to give back to the grid
- Landfills become non-existent
- Design embraces cradle-to-cradle and passport certification
- Vernacularism takes hold
On Wednesday, June 5th, 4:30pm ET, Joseph Mamayek, Design Principal, AIA, LEED AP led a session at the 2024 AIA Conference in Washington, D.C. that explains these pillars, the benchmarks of success, and strategies for adopting Regenerative Design principles.
