PAYETTE Principals Andrea Love and Mark Oldham were recently featured on the DaVinci Pursuit’s public radio, Intersections: Where Art and Science Meet. Alongside other industry professionals and facilitator Mark Kesling, they engaged in an insightful, 2-episode discussion about the impact of carbon within the building industry. The conversation journeyed across a variety of topics, including but not limited to the embodied carbon in concrete, wood as an alternative material, the cost and environment savings from reusing versus building new, LEED as a jumping point for regenerative architecture, and the meaning of net-zero.
