#OBJECTIVE v3.024, the open-source carbon and energy modelling tool for Canadian #Architects and #Engineers is nearly ready for launch, now with automated #ReferenceModelling capabilities for #NECB and #NBC. Try it out at openbuilding.ca Software has open-pricing, but every dollar improves the tool!

the only difference for the PAF is Paul doesn't hesitate to throw Vaclav Smil under the non-electric bus as the culprit ;)

Why Being Climate ‘Positive’ Is the Buzzy New Goal of Green Building Architects and developers are reaching beyond net zero, designing structures they hope do more good for the environment than bad. But determining whether that’s true is far from easy.

New from me: A new breed of buildings claim positive environmental impacts, a step beyond just neutral or net zero. I spoke to the people behind three projects to find out the basis for these claims, and asked whether a building can truly give back. No paywall here:

All buildings are emissive, some less so than others. #Denmark has set the highest bar in terms of truth in advertising with their #BR18 and #BR23 building codes and their #Objective concept of 'Lifetime Carbon', which we have adopted in our framework: openbuilding.ca/product/obje... Great article!

Just a wee post to show that detergent dispensers can lead to really poor #IAQ. Once I emptied the dispenser, problem solved. #surfacearea #heatpumplaundry Alternatively, buy low #VOC detergents! #liveandlearn!!

0" clearance lift and slide door clearance to an exterior deep overhang porch

One of the trickier details of passive buildings,
#doorthresholds. Honestly, I could nerd out for hours finding better ways to do this. Here we have stem-walls raising our timber structure 12" AFG as a consideration of future flooding, but with 0" clearance for accessibility. FG L-angle used here.
