What fuels the drive for groundbreaking scientific discovery? It’s the final day at #COP30 and today’s theme is science and technology. In the United States, we’ve partnered with NASA Ames Research Center to deliver Sustainability Base Building N232 in Moffett Field, California.  Designed by William McDonough + Partners, with us serving as the Architect of Record (AOR), Building N232 is a LEED Platinum facility that showcases NASA technologies while acting as a test-bed for sustainable innovation. Our team helped deliver a high-performance workplace that integrates passive-solar strategies, native landscaping, geothermal systems, natural ventilation, daylighting, and on-site renewable energy to support NASA’s mission of advancing environmental design and scientific research. Key features include:  ☑️ On-site renewable systems: rooftop solar PV, solid oxide fuel cell, and solar thermal  ☑️ Water efficiency: 42% indoor potable water reduction and non-potable groundwater for irrigation  ☑️ Smart building operations supported by more than 2,000 sensors  ☑️ Natural ventilation and daylighting, providing 70% more fresh air and daylight in 96% of workspaces  ☑️ Sustainable, recycled, and locally sourced materials throughout the building Building N232 stands as a model for how innovative design, intelligent systems, and environmental responsibility can come together to support NASA’s mission. 

How is digital innovation transforming decarbonization strategies across real estate portfolios?   In this latest blog, #AECOM Global Portfolio Decarbonization Lead Marc Colella shares insights into how digital ecosystems, integrated platforms, and data-driven decision-making are reshaping the way organizations plan, prioritize, and deliver carbon reduction at scale. To achieve meaningful progress, portfolio owners must:  • Leverage digital ecosystems that connect data, people, and systems to accelerate decarbonization. • Integrate Portfolio Carbon Capital Optimization to align investment and carbon reduction strategies. • Embrace open collaboration across technologies and sectors to scale impact and build resilient cities.   Read now to discover how digital innovation can move organizations from strategy to scalable implementation: https://lnkd.in/gX4Kf7BP   #DeliveringonDecarbonization

What lays the foundation for innovative healthcare delivery in challenging environments? Today as the discussions at #COP30 focus on health, we take a look at the impact the construction of two regional hospitals in Piura and Trujillo in northern Peru will have on reducing the gap in health infrastructure within the region. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Peru, we’re supporting the Programa Nacional de Inversiones en Salud (PRONIS) - an initiative that modernizes healthcare infrastructure across the nation. This strategic program is designed to enhance access to high-quality medical services in underserved communities while incorporating sustainable design principles to build long-term resilience. By leveraging multidisciplinary expertise in architecture, design, engineering, program cost and project management, we're working in partnership to set new benchmarks in healthcare infrastructure that addresses both current needs and future challenges. ☑️ Widespread Impact: Development of multiple hospitals and healthcare facilities across Peru to expand access. ☑️ Sustainable Construction: Integration of green building practices to minimize environmental impacts. ☑️ Resilience: Infrastructure designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, ensuring continued service. ☑️ Advanced Healthcare: Modern medical facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technologies to enhance patient care. ☑️ Improved Accessibility: Focus on reaching remote and underserved areas to deliver equitable healthcare solutions. Through innovative design and sustainable practices, we’re not only enhancing healthcare delivery but also empowering Peru to build a resilient system that meets the evolving needs of its population.

Can strategic planning and site selection unlock the full potential of major sports and entertainment infrastructure? As today’s theme at #COP30 is Infrastructure, we’re showcasing how multidisciplinary expertise can ensure cities make the most of their urban opportunities. In partnership with AEC GROUP and Blight Rayner Architecture, we led the site selection and strategic analysis for the Gold Coast Arena at Carey Park, Southport. Our team assessed potential sites across functional, contextual, and financial criteria, incorporating insights from transport, acoustics, crowd dispersal, and planning to identify the optimal location that maximizes social, economic, and cultural benefits. ☑️ Rigorous multi-criteria analysis supported by Council workshops  ☑️ Strategic location selection for city-shaping, placemaking, and accessibility  ☑️ Multidisciplinary expertise ensuring functional and technical excellence  ☑️ Advocacy support to communicate project benefits and inform decision-making Learn more: https://acm.to/KD5l
