Third Tuesday: Using Industrialized Construction to Drive ESG Metrics
07/18/22 • 69 min
Every Third Tuesday at the Housing Innovation Alliance, we dial in to our network to connect the dots on big ideas, identify new connections and help facilitate realistic innovation. You can count on us to host timely, insightful and actionable conversations that build into real value for your business.
This hybrid event was hosted by MiTek, during our Innovation Road Trip to St. Louis in June 2022. It was also broadcasted to LinkedIn Live. The version you're hearing has been edited. Find the full archive + video on LinkedIn.
During this panel discussion, we explored the intersection between industrializing your construction process – on-site or off-site – and hitting key ESG milestones such as reducing your carbon footprint, eliminating waste in the production process, delivering a healthier building, reducing costs on the builder / developer side, expanding production to deliver more housing and offering greater attainability to consumers.
Listen in if you'd like to:
- Think differently about defining ESG metrics and how to achieve them
- Consider real world examples of the value they’re creating today + how their measurements translate to real business benefits
This conversation is facilitated by our own, Betsy Scott. The expert panel includes:
• Paul Grahovac, LEED AP, Vice President New Business Development, Build SMART
• Jack Oslan, Co-Founder + CEO, Diamond Age
• Edwin Tatum, CEO, TatumTek
• Nigel Watts, Vice President, Product, Rheia
