| | | | | | |  | Ecole du Zenith: New school a harmonious fusion of education and nature In partnership with Leclerc Architects, Montreal-based Pelletier de Fontenay has recently completed École du Zénith in Schefford, QC, a project resulting from a series of competitions launched by Lab-École in 2019. Being the first school architecture competition since the 1960s, the project marks a turning point in Quebec's educational landscape, renewing the program, organization, and way of building elementary schools in the province. The school is both simple and complex: simple in its expression and organization, but complex in the richness of its spaces. The classrooms, with their generous openings, are designed to avoid the need for mechanical air conditioning. The overhangs of the roofs help control summer radiation and minimize solar gains. Punctuating each pavilion, large triangular chimneys generously allow zenithal light to enter. Read more ... | | |

 | Local net-Zero Buildings: A bottom-line win for Canadian communities Municipalities large and small are joining forces with architects, designers, engineers, contractors and building developers to reduce energy consumption and move to cleaner energy sources. Take aging municipal and community buildings. Almost 70 percent of the buildings in Canada that are central to thriving communities, such as town halls, fire stations, recreation centres, arenas and libraries are more than 30 years old, with the correspondingly higher operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that come with age. Retrofitting these facilities can lead to a net positive return on investment — not to mention the comfort and health benefits stemming from improved air quality, fewer drafts, enhanced lighting and better all-around functionality. Enter the Green Municipal Fund (GMF), a program of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Details … |

|  | Precast Concrete Drive to Decarbonization The Canadian precast concrete industry, through CPCI, has been tracking and reporting the environmental impacts of its products and operations since 2015. In 2023, CPCI published its third round of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for various precast product categories with regionalized breakdowns. It also introduced the 2050 Roadmap to Net-Zero, demonstrating our commitment to decarbonizing the Canadian Precast Concrete industry. Since our first industry-average EPD was published in 2015, the Canadian precast industry has seen a 22% reduction in our A1-A3 embodied carbon. Why This Matters? A 22% reduction in A1-A3 embodied carbon among our main product categories is an impressive achievement in the construction industry. This further reinforces our concrete commitment to complete transparency in reporting our embodied emissions and tracking our progress to net zero. We are on track to our 2030 targets and will continue to push the limits as an industry to reduce our environmental impact. We are continuously innovating and introducing new technologies to make more sustainable products. Read more. | | | | |

 | The Dividends of Disassembly: Reclaiming the value held in buildings By Brenda Martens, BCIT faculty and developer of the Applied Circular Economy: Zero Waste Buildings microcredential. Design for Disassembly and Adaptability (DfD/A) is an approach that facilitates dismantling a product or building at its end-of-use, enabling the recovery of components and materials intact, to facilitate their use in subsequent applications, including complete reassembly. The goal of DfD/A is to keep materials in their highest use for as long as possible. A circular economy, or in this specific case, a circular built environment, fosters a culture of caring, not so much about the future, as for the future. If one cares for the future, the choices they make as designers and owners reflect that, and by default they will choose not to use toxic materials, they will choose not to extract non-renewable resources, and they will use the resources they have wisely with the intent of passing them on, giving renewed value by preserving those resources for future generations.
