Welcome to "Green Minds, Blue Prints: Designing Together for Net Zero," the podcast that explores innovative approaches to sustainable design and the collective efforts to achieve a net-zero future. We created this episode to support the New Building Institute’s Net Zero Buildings Week happening June 12-19, 2023. Follow the week's events at #Decarb4Good. In this episode, we have a solid foursome of guests who are at the forefront of this movement. Joining us today are Emma Siegel and Samantha Gregory from HKS, Inc., as well as Zach Bowden and Connor Lewer from PEC. We encourage you to follow them all, as well as HKS and PEC, on LinkedIn. What can you expect from this podcast? We'll dive straight into conversations about embodied carbon; addressing specs; collaboration and competition; renovation, reuse, and resiliency. We’ll wrap up with what we’re excited about in our work as architects and engineers striving for Net Zero. And believe it or not, we’ll get it covered in under 30 minutes. So, grab a snack, put in your air pods, pull on your headphones, and enjoy!
