In this episode, Feifer explains why sustainability is no longer relative. \u2018One planet means one carbon budget with a fixed amount available for buildings,\u2019 she says. It\u2019s not about improving relative to previously accepted standards.<\/p>\n
She also describes how Denmark\u2019s new building regulations will regulate whole life carbon by requiring life cycle assessment for projects and setting benchmarks for different building types. For homes, Feifer advocates the Active House Alliance\u2019s adaptive comfort approach rather than the absolute comfort ranges prescribed by Passivhaus.<\/p>\n
Currently on site, Velux\u2019 Living Places<\/a> project by EFFEKT Architects<\/a> will showcase a community of the future as part the UIA Congress<\/a> in 2023 when Copenhagen will be World Capital of Architecture. The project comprises two homes and five open pavilions, proposing a range of visions and construction methods for a neighbourhood of the future.<\/p>\n To catch up on all AJ Climate Champions episodes,\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Find Climate Champions on your favourite podcast app: subscribe via Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Google Podcasts<\/a>, Deezer<\/a>\u00a0and Podbean<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
