Q: Li cas koj tau koom tes nrog sustainable tsim?

Monte: Kuv taw qhia rau sustainable tsim los ntawm lub lens ntawm ib puag ncig kev ncaj ncees hauv txoj kev tshawb fawb urban kev tshawb fawb ntawm lub tsev kawm ntawv ntawm Minnesota. Kuv kawm muaj ib tug yawm deal tsis ncaj ncees thiab inequity nyob rau hauv cov tis ntawm cov chaw uas muaj industrial chaw.  Thiab, raws li ib tug neeg uas nyob rau hauv Minneapolis thaum lub sij hawm, kuv pom nws ua ntej tes. Txij thaum ntawd los, kuv hauj lwm tau teem rau reversing cov teebmeem tsis zoo ntawm tej chaw industrial chaw, uas yuav tau nyob rau hauv predominantly tsawg-nyiaj, BIPOC zej zog.

Q: Vim li cas nws tseem ceeb heev rau cov neeg dawb huv Paul chaw nres nkoj cai coj sustainability nta rau hauv lawv qhov chaw ua hauj lwm tshiab?

Monte: Peb pom qhov no ua ib lub sijhawm los nyob peb lub koom haum lub hom phiaj ntawm advancing sustainable kev loj hlob. Xyoo lawm, peb twb nrog cov cuab yeej buyers thiab guided lawv los ntawm ib tug ntsuab tsim txoj kev ntsuam xyuas. Vim li ntawd, tseem ceeb zog-txuag kev nqis peev uas tau ua. Tam sim no, nrog peb tawm ntawm lub tsev Infor , uas tso cai MRO kom lawv qhov chaw rau hauv pem teb 8^, peb muaj lub sijhawm los xyaum peb preach.  

Q: Dab tsi yog qhov chaw nres nkoj cai tsis pom kev zoo rau peb tes num?

A: Koom tes nrog LHB architects, peb twb tsim tsim lub hom phiaj nyob ib ncig ntawm lawv accessibility, visibility, sustainability, sustainability, thiab cov neeg ua hauj lwm zoo. Txij ntawd los, peb txhais cov tswv yim uas yuav zoo txo peb cov footprint thoob plaws hauv theem siv theem thiab yav tom ntej haujlwm.

Q: Muaj tej kev txwv nyiaj txiag rau executing lub defined sustainability tswv yim?

Monte: Kiag li, tab sis qhov no ib txwm tshwm sim thaum koj muab cwj mem rau daim ntawv. Koj pib tsim muaj xws li txhua yam uas koj yuav tau xav nyob rau hauv peb tes num. Txij ntawd los, koj tsiv mus nyob rau hauv tus nqi engineering theem. Koj yuav tsum tau saib cov nqi khoom thiab nrhiav txoj kev los khaws dab tsi tseem ceeb tshaj thaum nyob rau hauv pob nyiaj siv.  Qhov project no tsis kos. Peb siv sij hawm ua hauj lwm nrog lub pab (team) tsim thiab cov lag luam los refine peb lub hom phiaj thiab xaiv cov khoom zoo. Qhov no, peb prioritized high-performance tsim thiab cov components.

Q: Dab tsi yog cov tej-ntug sustainable tsim components flos yog qhov project no?

Monte: Ua ntej thiab foremost, peb yuav ua phem rau koj tau txais ib daim ntawv pov thawj LEED kub. Los ntawm ib tug qauv scorecard, peb ua kev txiav txim siab rau tsawg kawg yog 50 txawv khab nias. Cov ntau yam los ntawm kev mus kauj vab chaw nres tsheb kauj vab rau lub adhesives siv rau ntaub pua plag tiles. Thiab, vim qhov no yog ib qho chaw tha xim sab hauv uas tsis muaj ntuj teeb, peb tsim pab neeg pom zoo CoeLux teeb. Nws yog ib lub kaw lus optical uas reproduces ntuj teeb nrog lub zog ntawm lub hnub thiab ntuj. Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb los ntawm ib tug neeg ua hauj lwm wellness foupective tias neeg tsis xav hais tias lawv tau ua hauj lwm nyob nruab nrab ntawm ib bunker.

Lwm qhov tseem ceeb tivthaiv yuav peb HVAC lawv. Ua ntej COVID-19, peb tau inspired los ntawm ib tug Harvard cognitive los ntawm ntsuab tsim txoj kev tshawb no. Nws tham txog qhov zoo sib xws ntawm cov neeg ua hauj lwm productivity thiab HVAC lub nruab uas circulate ntau huab cua tshiab thiab txo carbon dioxide nyob rau hauv qhov chaw. Txij thaum ntawd los, cov tswv yim no kuj yog tus txheem kub txheem tiv thaiv cov neeg ua hauj lwm los ntawm kev kis tus kab mob no.

Thaum kawg, peb yuav siv hwj huam dua Ethernet (PoE). Nws yuav cia peb tswj peb teeb thiab hluav taws xob li los ntawm ib lub computer interface, uas tsis muaj voltage DC-fais fab tsis txhob AC-fais fab. Ntawm ib puag ncig foupective, peb yuav twb paub lawm tseem ceeb zog nyiaj.  Ntawm tus nqi foupective, peb yuav txo lub sij hawm thiab raug nqi associated nrog installing fais fab cables. Thiab, thaum no feature siv sparingly hnub no, peb forese PoE qhov norm hauv 5 mus rau 10 xyoo tom ntej no.

Q: Koj puas kawm tej yam uas yuav duplicated hla lub xeev Minnesota?

Monte: mas nws yeej. Thaum peb tes num yog tas, thiab COVID-19 protocols ease, peb yuav txuas nrog peb cov phooj ywg nyob rau hauv qhov kev lag luam coj mus muag. Thiab vim pom yog believing, peb yuav muab tours thiab muab tau. Nyob rau hauv peb lub tswvyim, on-site visuals illustrating zog-siv thiab lwm sustainability metrics yuav yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws muab peb zaj dabneeg.
