  Design-Build, Sustainability and Federal Projects

  
  The procurement method of design-build has been around for several decades and over the last ten years it has become one of the selected methods for the U.S. Federal Government. In conjunction with design-build, the Federal Government is looking toward having sustainability (using LEED) as a main corner stone of any new or renovated projects that are publicly funded.
  
  The presentation will feature 4 speakers that will discuss the benefits of design-build and how it can enhance the achievements of sustainability initiatives, citing specific project examples. Bill Green, The RMH Group will be presenting the design-build method, Keith Molenaar, University of Colorado will be discussing sustainability and high performance buildings. Eric Moe, Puma Steel will present on the renovation of the Byron Roger Federal Office Building Modernization, and Nate Lowery, Hensel Phelps Construction Co. will present on the Net Zero Fort Carson Support Battalion (ASB) Hangar Building

  Relevance of Regenerative Design to the Building Construction Industry

  
  Please join us for our July First Monday Speaker series as we focus on defining regenerative in a way that is relevant to the building construction industry. First we will start off with why we need to be building regenerative buildings today. Then we will explore the various definitions of regenerative design from the universe scale to the watershed scale to the building scale.  Different perspectives on the definition will be provided – one from building architectural perspective and one from an energy perspective.  We will describe regenerative as it relates to one building, to one building with one site, to multiple buildings on one site, and try to understand what it means to meet the goal of regenerative and is it even possible at the micro level.
