Making Sense of Water with Water First™ Engineering (Part I)

On average, 50-60% of municipal water is being used for landscape irrigation purposes, and it is observed that is a staggering trend of overwatering in Texas alone. Due to this, governments will predictably increase prices on this vital resource. In order to effectively promote water conservation, it is important to use the vernacular of project developers and owners: Simply, illustrate how reducing usage increases the property value. Matt Hall with Hines, Inc. shares his experience with water management and building value through water resources. With consistent innovation, engineering and design Hines continues to stay on the front-line of water conservation approaches, technology, and implementation to save our clients money, water, and time.

As environmental policies and energy codes around the US become more stringent and push the bar on energy efficiency, design firms are faced with the challenge of addressing high performance design while balancing client expectations to deliver projects under budget and on time. In some parts of the country mandatory building benchmarking & reporting laws have also created a new perspective on the importance of measuring design/operational performance. Additionally, new additions to the AIA Code of Ethics have shed some new light on the role architects have on informing clients about their buildings impact on the environment. In this episode, Scott Deatherage of Deatherage Law discusses some of his most interesting cases, the obligations architects and engineers have to deliver high performing buildings and some of the evolving market drivers that are pushing the envelope.

Air pollution is perceived as a modern-day curse: a by-product of increasing urbanization and industrialization. It does, however, have a long and evolving history with interesting transitions in line with economic, technological and political change. Every time we drive to school, use our heater or air conditioner, clean our windows, or even style our hair, we make choices that affect air pollution. It’s important to be mindful of our impact. Very small decisions times 7 million make a huge difference, even if we don’t think so. In this episode, Lori with the North Texas Council of Governments discusses the work she is doing and how you can help the environment.
