The value of new construction starts in September decreased a slight 2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $703.7 billion, according to Dodge Data & Analytics. This follows the 22% jump for total construction starts in August, which witnessed the highest monthly pace for construction starts so far in 2016.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) TAP/CCA Innovation Award honors new practices and technologies that will further enable project delivery and enhance data-centric methodologies in the management of buildings for their entire lifecycle, from design, to construction and through operations. The AIA’s Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP) Knowledge Community, in collaboration with the Construction Contract Administration (CCA) Knowledge Community has selected the recipients for the 2016 TAP/CCA Innovation Awards.
ERDMAN recently received a National Award of Merit in the Healthcare Facilities category from the Design-Build Institute of America for its services on the surgical and procedural care expansion of St. Luke’s in Duluth, MN. The project has transformed the capabilities of St. Luke’s Health Care System and elevated the level of medical care available to the local community.
Accella Polyurethane Systems is proud to be a participant in the development of the new Trojan Park Playground, located in Wellston, MO. The former vacant lot was completely transformed into a state-of-the-art playground, using an all pour-in-place safety binder thanks to the efforts of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Great Rivers Greenway, and their contributors. Through the Parks Build Community initiative, the NRPA selects a location to restore a park in the host city of its annual conference. This year, the NRPA decided to take on a new challenge – creating a park from scratch for the first time.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is sending a delegation of topical experts led by AIA President, Russell Davidson, FAIA, who will be moderating the panel, Building Better Environments: Resilience, Health & Design.
Delos™, a wellness real estate and technology firm, today announced a strategic alliance with preeminent full-service construction services provider Structure Tone to accelerate integration of health and well-being in the built environment. The partnership will advance Delos’ mission to transform indoor environments into spaces that help nurture, sustain and promote human health and well-being through Structure Tone’s global network of construction management professionals and sustainability-focused projects.
The Dodge Momentum Index fell 4.3% in September to 129.0 from its revised August reading of 134.8 (2000=100). The Momentum Index is a monthly measure of the first (or initial) report for nonresidential building projects in planning, which have been shown to lead construction spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year. The decline in September was the result of a 5.3% drop in institutional planning and a 3.6% decrease in commercial planning, retreating from the strong performance in August which benefitted from an influx of large projects ($100 million +) into planning.
Last month the Center for Active Design® (CfAD) announced the 2016 winners of its annual Excellence awards. An independent jury recognized twelve exemplary design and research projects from around the world that demonstrate a range of creative ways that buildings, streets, and neighborhoods can be leveraged to support healthy and engaged communities. In addition to the project awards, CfAD directors and jury members collectively identified one Thought Leadership award recognizing excellence in the field.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has produced a report assessing the work of firms that are part of the AIA 2030 Commitment, a voluntary initiative to commit their practice to advancing the AIA’s goal of carbon-neutral buildings by the year 2030 that began reporting performance data in 2010.
The proliferation of sensing, automation, and control devices, as well as software and services, underscores the transition in commercial building management toward more strategic decision-making around cost containment, energy efficiency, sustainability, and occupant satisfaction. These technologies are also driving the importance of Building2Grid, a concept offering the potential to unlock two-way power flows and bundle non-energy related services in commercial buildings. According to a new report from Navigant Research, energy efficient and intelligent building technologies and services are foundational to setting the stage for the Building2Grid concept.
