华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(九月). 2021年7月27日-华盛顿 & 澳门葡京博彩软件 Center for 能源 Policy and 管理 (CEPM) will host a free webinar, “Green Building for Sustainability and Health” featuring Phipps Conservatory’s Center for Sustainable Landscapes at 3 p.m. 10月. 13.
The webinar is part of the CEPM’s 能源 Lecture Series and will be presented by Richard Piacentini, president and CEO of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
Known as one of the greenest buildings in the world, the Center for Sustainable Landscapes (CSL) is the only building to meet six of the highest green certifications, including the Living Building Challenge, LEED Platinum and WELL Building Platinum for energy efficiency and occupant health.
作为菲普斯的教育, 研究, 管理设施, the CSL is an integral part of the Phipps visitor experience as a “living museum,” focusing attention on the important intersection between the built and natural environments, and demonstrating that human and environmental health are inextricably connected. It is a net-zero building, meaning that it produces more energy than it consumes. In addition to generating power with a wind turbine and photovoltaic solar panels, the CSL also takes advantage of geothermal wells, 被动冷却, 加热, and lighting methods to operate more efficiently. The building also captures and treats the water that falls on its project site through a lagoon, 人工湿地, 雨水花园, pervious asphalt and a green roof. All building materials were sourced in compliance with the Living Building Challenge’s Materials 红色的 List, which identifies the toxic chemicals most commonly used by manufacturers.
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a historic landmark in Pittsburgh’s Oakland district that has provided a world-class garden experience and stunning flower shows to visitors since 1893, with a 14-room glasshouse and 23 distinct gardens.
自1994年以来, Richard Piacentini has guided the Pittsburgh organization and is responsible for Phipps’ green transformation, 包括CSL. Phipps’ sustainability efforts are based on recognizing the connections between people, 植物, 健康与地球.
