It hooked me for a whole good 19 minutes! Pretty comprehensible, thoughtful and interestingly written!

My dream job is being an architect and I feel like I will go the green way on my career. I want to make a positive change on the world and also make a name for myself and my beliefs
@katherandefy
Yes plz. I live in SC and we need this everywhere.
@paulinebrugie8708
Really interesting presentation ! Keep going on Lanefab

It's also important not to forget infrastructure! Here in Auckland the national government is really pushing (against the local government) for more greenfield development under the pretext that developers will pay for new infrastructure. But what about all the infrastructure that needs to be upgraded! Roads & transit coming into the city, power, water, etc - even though they're not on your property these are serious costs both monetary and environmental.
@rogiervantilburg3440
Great presentation, thank you for sharing!
@Southpaw128
as someone who grew up in a brooklyn brownstone that we shared with two other renters the suggestion that we should tear them down and replace them pisses me off. These buildings have immense history and cultural value. And even though they're still "leaky" the lifestyles that are proliferated by the access to transportation through its density, the sharing of heat through shared walls, and walkability lead to 5x greener lifestyles then suburban, car dominated suburbs. Those aren't the buildings we need to replace. Why not target vacant lots and unused industrial buildings and outdated infrastructure. Targeting historic brownstones... how about learning about the community and gaining some regional context before proposing something so destructive
@simeonjamison3034
Yes! He really went for the jugular. Its time to get real about sustainable design. No more abstract dreaming!
@creativity8855
Very good presentation, thank you.
@matthieucaille6868
Great presentation and insights ! Your holistic approach considering not only buildings, but also their environment/surroundings with the transportation issues, and its impact compared to previous construction/infrastructures are really interesting ! Regarding the wording "zero impact", I believe some caution is needed though. For buildings to exists we extract raw material (provided for free by the earth), which transformed by energy (mostly fossil fuels) allow us to build buildings (which therefore are not zero impact). Similarly, solar panels are produced through metallurgy and others industrial processes (in majority from economies heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as China, India...) and therefore are not zero impact neither. While it seems physically and mathematically difficult for buildings to have "zero impact", by having a broader approach like you explained, we will be able to reduce their impacts and increase emissions less :) Thank you

Pretty good for 2014. I'd say leading edge but now we've got Phase Change Materials, Carbon capture strategies and even more efficient and well purposed appliances and electric cars. Did I mention batteries? In the race to build a Net Positive house without using ''bling" with moving parts, one should allow induction heaters, solar panels, Phase Change materials, and natural Heat Recovery systems like fireplaces. And now batteries, electric, chemical and thermal. This is 30 months later. What will we have in another 30 months? If the dangerous fools deciding our futures now get their way, Coal.
@zohab003
13:05 you had my undisputed attention, at the thermals.. :D
@shaynadavidovhansonrealtor
Wonderful presentation!
@jessicahalewoolliams9075
Nice talk, Bryn.
@anirbanpatra3017
Damn Good.
@scottereau
A wonderful video that explains how deep energy retrofit is the best solution to reduce our carbon footprint, better than new built buildings on a field. Thanks for the contribution!
@kusali11
Well delivered
@craigburton8506
Great building, great location, replaces an inefficient building. But also the inputs (materials) either need to be sustainably made, or the building is only net positive after it pays down the embodied energy.
@chris-2496
I like the idea of including accessibility and impact on land but I didn't hear how the environmental impact of materials used (throughout the whole life cycle) are factored in. Without it this score is very incomplete.
