Data-informed sustainable design

The Sustainable Engineering Studio engages with every type of project at SOM, from urban-scale master plans to individual buildings and interiors. The group brings a rigorously technical and data-informed approach, collaborating to address environmental impact at every step of the design process. SES now offers services that include evaluating emissions across the lifecycle of a single building, portfolio, or master plan to guide carbon reduction strategies.

Preserved existing structure in Milan

In a headquarters retrofit project in Milan, the team proposed a strategy to repurpose existing facade materials, including portions of red granite which needed to be replaced due to damage and wear. The granite panels were carefully demounted, processed, and repurposed as aggregate in a new glass fiber reinforced concrete facade system. In the end, 70 percent of the existing structure and materials of the original buildings were preserved, significantly reducing the project’s embodied carbon impact.

Green roofs and solar panels

Silvercup Studios was one of the first adopters of green roof technology in 2005. The article says it helps clean the air, reduce storm-water runoff, lower energy consumption and reduce the heat island effect. Other studios mentioned use solar panels on roofs, LED technology, and elevated structures to reduce flood risk and energy use.

Recycling and reuse from sets

Sustainable Studios says it works with local communities to recycle and give away wardrobe, hair, makeup, props, sets, lumber, and other materials. It also retrofits its building instead of clearing land and setting up a new one or knocking one down.
