Sustainability factors are critical to successful project outcomes in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, from exceeding performance requirements to improving cost control. Building design and construction stakeholders are faced with global challenges regarding limited resources and the impact of development on the surrounding environment. This panel will explore where responsibility for sustainability outcomes lies as we experience the convergence of design, engineering, and construction teams in common data environments. We will discuss the state of the industry in terms of solution maturity for advanced building insights on topics such as embodied carbon, resiliency, and materiality. We will also seek to understand key workflows that meet financial project goals while addressing environmental concerns and uncovering sustainability outcomes at the intersection of performance and ethics.

Patagonia Provisions has launched their inaugural collection of 10 fermented drinks including wine, cider, and sake, ranging from a sparkling cider made from a blend of fruits grown on a South Island family farm, to a red wine made from local Nerello Mascalese grapes grown on the Mt. Etna volcano. The vineyards are run using regenerative practices such as inter-row crops, use of animals as pest-control, and natural nutrient sources to avoid soil damage.
