Preface by Matt Fajkus: There is a saying that goes something like this, “Engineers have to know everything about one thing, and architects have to know a little about everything.” This includes coordinating with all consultants – especially engineers, who bring great value and technical expertise to any given project.

We're seeing a little bit of oversimplification and glorification of mass timber," said Leedham, who is carbon lead at engineering consultancy Atelier Ten.

However, a seemingly small detail proved crucial—the permits for the entire project had to be obtained all at once. This meant they had to do some minor construction along the way, every year, just to keep the permits valid. Coaches would transport equipment from a central location, creating logistical challenges.

Our architectural, structural and sustainable engineering studios worked closely together to emphasize dialogue between nature and technology throughout the building, defining a new world-class benchmark for sustainable wellness-focused design. Stone was also sourced locally, reducing carbon footprint from material transport.

Going solar for buildings is not only as effective as improving transportation (another 40%), the two can be linked with solar as the power source for electric vehicles. After the feasibility analysis it is important to hire the right engineers. (Of the bigger countries only Australia, Canada and Saudi Arabia have a bigger footprint).

HVAC systems & types are important areas in the field of mechanical engineering. Pipes transport heat created by water or steam in the heating unit to other areas. Also, they have the dual function of spreading out and directing the airflow into a location and permitting the regulation of airflow by opening or closing the register.

Steep streets characterize many cities: San Francisco (Photo Philipsen) In the approval steps towards site development plans, civil engineering precedes the other design professions. Civil engineers are driven by the hard rules of engineering, not the softer concerns of context sensitive design or carbon emission reduction.

My journey into site supervision began after I obtained my degree in Civil Engineering. I started my career as a site engineer with a large construction company, where my initial responsibilities included overseeing construction site activities, coordinating with subcontractors, and ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols.

The team that I joined here at DuBois & King was originally planning, specifically transportation planning. But Vermont definitely seems more engineering-focused to me, which is really surprising coming from Philadelphia, where I did not get that same sense. Vermont has a really strong planning presence. I think that’s part of it.

The key lesson for design professionals, based on decades of previous disaster science, was that disasters can be stopped through planning, engineering and architecture connected to other skills and professions. Wider planning aspects would support walking, cycling, and public transportation, factoring in safety, reliability, and all weather.

It is a carbon-neutral feat, using 80% fewer transport demands than comparable concrete buildings. Some even take timber from overseas, exacerbating carbon footprints from excess transportation needs. Some plans also review the dangers of transporting beams to work sites.
