generation. We are literally running out of time and the

call-to-action to take steps in decreasing our energy

footprint is imminent.

This feature explores over 25 commercial, residential

approaches to design and construction.

Each project serves as evidence of how these approaches

can work in service to communities across BC.

are changing. Environmental responsibilities are rising. And the need to measure,

evaluate, and benchmark existing practices to understand how we can evolve

is more important than ever. Join our panelists as they discuss how they’re

tackling the next generation of procurement with topics including: Early partner

engagement; Provincial and Federal policy changes; The influence of the climate

crisis; procurement approaches being used abroad; Lessons from public sector

procurement practices.

Always one step ahead, A2M

SPONSORED BY

has grown to become a leader

and an authority in passive,

sustainable, zero-energy and

SUPPORTED BY

carbon-neutral buildings. A2M has

helped promote Passive House

architecture by becoming the lead

policy consultants for Brussels — the first city in the

world to introduce the Passive House standard into the

municipality’s building code. Since the Passive House

standard is mandatory for all new buildings in Belgium,

A2M is now thinking about the crucial next step:

starting with Passive House principles, how can we

achieve carbon neutrality in our cities? And beyond that,

how can we conceive buildings where each element

contributes to a regenerating permanent cycle?

Facing demographic and high-density issues in our

growing cities, the roadmap to carbon neutrality must

include a new type of construction that regenerates

the environment, produces more energy than it

consumes, cleans the air and compensates for the

CO2 footprint of our cities. A2M’s concept Permacity

is incremental, it is the application at an urban scale

of a systemic and global concept. This future-proofing

approach to architecture builds an interrelated

system where nothing is added nor wasted. This

way of conceiving buildings will not only provide a

climate neutral impact, but will also provide urban

benefits in numerous aspects: health, social, cultural,

biodiversity, depollution etc. Building without caring

cannot be an option anymore.

Wed, Feb. 12 • 11:15am–12:15pm • PerformEX Stage • $50

The Circular Economy is an economic system aimed at

minimizing waste and utilizing resources to their fullest

potential, in a closed loop cycle. Life Cycle Assessment

(LCA) are used to assess the environmental impacts

of goods, services and organizations from a life cycle

perspective - from the extraction of raw materials

to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. An

LCA can be used to ensure circularity is achieved with

low environmental impact. Learn how environmental

impacts from LCA studies are leveraged when

comparing circular economy strategies in building

design and management decisions.

Providing an overview of the science and research,

we will demonstrate how illumination of a space can

impact users and occupants through the relationship

between chronobiology and the science of lighting. We

will unpack the concept of “physiological architecture,”

and its implications for industry professionals. What

could we gain from considering how illumination levels,

wavelengths, and perceived colour impact our health,

mood, productivity, and cognitive acuity? How can we

account for human biology and the science of light when

designing to support the well-being of occupants and

users?

Come be part of the conversation and discuss how we

can further evolve the built environment

W20 // Three Perspectives on Circular

Economy: Material Health, LCA and

Zero Waste

Wed, Feb. 12 • 11:15am–12:15pm • PerformEX Stage • $50

The Circular Economy is an economic system aimed at

minimizing waste and utilizing resources to their fullest

potential, in a closed loop cycle. Life Cycle Assessment

(LCA) are used to assess the environmental impacts

of goods, services and organizations from a life cycle

perspective - from the extraction of raw materials

to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. An

LCA can be used to ensure circularity is achieved with

low environmental impact. Learn how environmental

impacts from LCA studies are leveraged when

comparing circular economy strategies in building

design and management decisions.

Wed, Feb. 12 • 1:00pm–2:00pm • Room 206/207 • $50

The BC climate is changing, and with it the impacts

of climate risk events which contribute to overland

flooding, such as increased precipitation, storm events,

and sea level rise.

In order to understand risks to existing properties,

infrastructure, and new developments, we will begin

by establishing a common lexicon for terms such as

climate vulnerability, risk ratings, mitigation, and

adaptation. We will then discuss overland flooding

through a combined high-level strategic and technical

solutions lens with the goal of reducing risk for the

duration of the building or infrastructure’s life cycle.
