Open Source Building Science, Accelerating Ecological Architecture through evidence based software (https://openbuilding.ca)
#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!

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:
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.

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!!

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.
