Applied Metrics: Data-Informed Design Drivers for Environmental Impacts

How is sustainable design being transformed by today’s tools and metrics? This panel brings together perspectives from research, technology, engineering, and building ownership to examine how environmental impacts are evaluated and addressed throughout the building lifecycle. The conversation highlights the methods and innovations shaping current practice, while exploring the opportunities and challenges of applying them in real projects. Panelists will discuss how collaboration across disciplines is influencing design and construction, the acceleration of embodied carbon metrics as a key design-driver and how these evolving approaches are redefining the practice of sustainable design.
