BPE has collaborated on the publishing of two ASTM Quality Control Standards that facilitate scaled implementation of lower-carbon, smart material resource solutions.
In this video, BPE collaborators explain the rationale, methods, and benefits of separating gypsum wallboard at the jobsite for recycling.
BPE will moderate a discussion on circular loops for wallboard at Circular City Week. The discussion will feature perspectives from Google, USA Gypsum, and Gensler, with BPE moderating.
The event will be hosted by the AIA NY Center for Architecture, 8:30am on 8 March 2019.
The coronavirus outbreak has struck a significant blow to the Chinese economy. The severity of this hit will not only depend on the extent and depth of the outbreak, but also on the government's response. Here is why China should avoid coal power investments when stimulating the economy after COVID-19 has been contained.
Increasing urgency among policymakers and the design community to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord has spurred more aggressive codes and energy policies in jurisdictions around the United States. These strategies are making gains on driving down carbon emissions resulting from powering our homes and commercial buildings. Yet another source of carbon — embodied carbon — has gone largely unaddressed.
The EIA forecasts that the share of U.S. generation from coal will average 25% in 2019 and 22% in 2020, down from 28% in 2018.

The organization Carbon Brief has built an interactive website where you can explore the capacity changes in coal power since the year 2000.
