RJC Connections - October 2023
Welcome to this edition of RJC Connections, where we delve into an embodied carbon case study, the urgent need for seismic retrofits of Canada's aging residential buildings, and the role of cultural collaboration in the quest to build thriving communities.
Embodied Carbon in Residential Structures Case Study
Embodied carbon, released during building manufacturing and construction, is a critical environmental measure. This in depth study by RJC Engineers and BDP Quadrangle delves into the subject, educating readers on how to make decisions that will impact meaningful change.
Seismic Retrofits in Multi-Residential Buildings
Many of Canada’s aging residential buildings were not built to withstand earthquakes and tremors. RJC's Leon Plett explains in this article how with seismic upgrade mandates expected in 2030, now is the time to plan the path forward:
Snow Ghost Inn New Atrium Roof
