The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, certification, and advocacy tool for projects to move beyond being "less bad" and to become regenerative, meaning they will have a positive impact on the environment. The Challenge consists of 7 "Petals" - Place, Water, Energy, Health & Happiness, Materials, Equity and Beauty. We will discuss the Materials and Water Petals at this coffee break, which focus on Net Positive Water and Waste. We're hoping this coffee break will help inform an upcoming charrette for a Waterwise Washroom at EarthDance Farm in May! Watch or listen to a recording of this Coffee Break! FEATURED GUEST: Madeline Smith, LEED AP BD+C, WELL AP, LFA, Fitwel Ambassador, Sustainable Development Manager, Clayco enterprise.

Declare, a program of the International Living Future Institute, is a platform to share and find healthy building products. Learn how a local manufacturer - Golterman & Sabo - got the Declare label for two of their acoustic products (Acapella Acoustic Panels and Melody Acoustic Panels). With Declare, manufacturers voluntarily disclose product information on easy-to-read Declare labels, reporting all product ingredients and flagging chemicals of concern. Products with a Declare label support leading green building standards like the Living Building Challenge, LEED and WELL. Watch or listen to a recording of this Coffee Break! FEATURED GUEST: Mary Rotter, Sales Representative with G&S Architectural Products Mary has over 15 years of experience in the construction industry. She is actively involved with IIDA, AIA, and ASPE.

Coordination Chemistry Flow Battery (CCFB), have you heard of them? They are not your typical battery, sealed battery such as lead acid, or lithium-ion, flow batteries separate the power and energy portions of a battery system. Energy is stored in a liquid electrolyte which is flowed through a stack of electrodes! Lockheed Martin, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Hannah Chapin-Eppert will present their GridStar Flow system, providing flexible, durable, long-duration (>6 hours) energy storage for utility scale projects. For large-scale industrial energy management, microgrid support, utility reserve capacity, and transmission and distribution within large-scale renewables integration -- having batteries designed to exhibit lower system cost, higher efficiency, and longer useful life is powerful. FEATURED GUEST: Hannah Chapin-Eppert, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Lockheed Martin Advanced Energy Storage Hannah Chapin-Eppert is a native St. Louisan living in Boston Massachusetts as a lead mechanical engineer with Lockheed Martin Advanced Energy Storage, LLC designing their new flow battery, GridStar Flow. Hannah attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, earning a degree in mechanical engineering. Before working with Lockheed Martin, Hannah worked at Rolls-Royce on-board U.S. Navy ships, focusing on gas turbines, generator set package design for the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyers, and gas turbine waste heat recovery… Continue Reading COFFEE BREAK: Long-Duration Energy Storage |
