Knowledge isn’t static and can’t simply be stored
As a subscriber you will get a private and secure account where your team can further refine this knowledge base by creating content, guidance and advice unique to your practice and market sectors. You can keep your content dynamically evolving ensuring that your architects are provided with the best, most recent relevant information from which to make informed decisions.EVAcology : Key Features
In most architectural firms key research information on Green Design is gathered by a core group of interested specialists who prepare and provide design teams with resources relevant to their project and market sectors. Most firms understand the high value of this asset but getting it to the sharp end of the design process has historically been one of the barriers to effectiveness. Too often data silos are built to provide a shared repository but as more content is added access becomes increasingly difficult and vital knowledge begins to loose its connection with the day to day process of design. Often building and maintaining these systems can be a substantial drain on resources.
As architects face increasing pressures to deliver better performing low and zero carbon buildings many firms look to establishing Green Checklists to assist them identifty, manage and mitigate negative impacts. Ensuring the effectiveness of these systems requires close collaboration with those undertaking research. Ensuring robustness relies on the participation of design teams.
EVAcology has been created to provide a more effective, more relevant solution.
