Massachusetts’ Specialized Stretch Code was developed in 2022 as an option for municipalities, and roughly 300 cities in the Commonwealth have since adopted it. The code applies to new construction, additions, and renovations, and creates stricter guidelines on energy efficiency for new construction and alterations. Earlier this month, JB&B’s New England Leader of the Deep Carbon Reduction Group, Joelle Jahn, and Katie Raymond, Senior Consultant of Epsilon Associates, discussed the Specialized Stretch Code and its implications for building electrification and envelope performance on an Environmental Business Council of New England, Inc.-sponsored Energy Environment Economy podcast.

At Bisnow’s New York Life Sciences & Biotech event last month, Daniel Davis, JB&B Senior Associate for Process Engineering, participated in a panel discussion on “Building & Designing with Science & Tenant Needs Top of Mind”. Dan highlighted considerations for users and developers aiming for process flexibility, stressing the need for upfront planning when integrating isolators into facilities with varying ventilation requirements. He noted, "More users are requesting isolators in their fit-out programming as a technology in support of commercialization." Hats off to Bisnow for this cutting-edge event and for assembling a dynamic group of panelists, including Naveen Paladugu, COO at RK Pharma; Glennis Mehra, Director, BioLabs at NYU Langone; Lugene Maher, Head of Operations at Pearl River Labs; Arslan Asovic, Science and Technology Practice Area Leader at Syska Hennessy Group, and Moderator Steven Kirschenbaum, EVP at RP Brennan.

Last week, JB&B Associate Tyler Schott was a guest lecturer at the NYU Stern School of Business for the MBA-level course ‘Driving Market Solutions for Clean Energy’. In the lecture, he emphasized the pivotal role that decarbonization plays in clean-energy strategies, stating, "Decarbonization is all about electrifying the heating end uses. Buildings can deploy heat pumps, heat recovery, and thermal storage strategies to make electrification cost-effective and spatially feasible without stressing the electric grid." He extends his gratitude to the university for allowing him an invaluable opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise with the next generation of business leaders.
