  • Public Buildings and the IRA: The New Incentives for Going Green

    Virtual Event via Zoom

    Coffee Break: Benton Park West Tiny House Project

    Virtual Event via Zoom

    This Tiny House Project is currently under construction in the Benton Park West neighborhood in the City of St. Louis. It is planned to be an environmentally regenerative and one-of-a-kind project. It's being build on what was once a vacant lot, purchased through the St. Louis City Land Revitalization Authority (LRA). This livable home will use energy saving building concepts such as radiant heating, solar power collection, rainwater collection, and passive heating and cooling concepts. The building itself, inspired by the work of Bob Cassilly, will be created from mostly reclaimed materials. The style will be a unique expression that keeps the historic aesthetic of the neighborhood in mind. Building a 420 square foot house on a 7,000 square foot lot allows space for large permaculture and vegetable gardens.

    Evening Program: Inspiring Greener Building Materials

    Alberici Constructors 8800 Page, Overland, MO, United States

    The choices we make about materials in our buildings can affect everything from indoor air quality to construction waste to broader human health and environmental impacts from materials ingredients, sources, manufacturing, and transport. But the process of selecting materials can be complicated and confusing. How can you best evaluate products and finishes in our buildings so that decisions are best for budgets, building occupants and the environment? This program will address this question and more using the American Institute of Architects Materials Pledge as a basis for discussion. The program will include information on the efforts to make transparency and optimization information easily accessible through the mindful MATERIAL Collaborative and their Common Materials Framework and the efforts of the Interior Design community in creating this national pledge.
