Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's Innovation Village in Ontario carries 174.86 kWp of SolarLab solar cladding on every elevation, expected to supply around 18% of near-term power. A thin polymer layer keeps PV panels below the European A2 fire class, so fire strategy belongs beside the energy model from day one.

  • 01A 174.86 kWp solar facade on every elevation of a college building is estimated to produce 122.98 MWh a year, about 18% of near-term power, which works out to roughly 700 kWh per kWp.
  • 02PV panels carry about 0.9 mm of polymer encapsulant that, per SolarLab, keeps them from reaching A2 under EN 13501-1, so ventilated-cavity fire blocking has to be designed in from the start.
  • 03In modeled scenarios, optimizing a facade for maximum PV output can increase total building electricity use; the more useful target is balancing generation with net consumption across tilt/orientation options.

SketchUp 2027’s Revit importer aims to turn tagged models into editable elements

SketchUp 2027’s Revit importer aims to turn tagged models into editable elements

Trimble’s SketchUp 2027 adds Procedures, a non-destructive modeling system. A SketchUp Importer for Revit, expected in November 2026 for certain tiers, is designed to map tagged and classed components to native Revit elements that can be edited and scheduled. The article argues the payoff hinges on upfront standards—tag conventions and template-ready procedural settings—and on testing the workflow on a live project.

  • 01The Revit importer converts what designers have tagged and classed, so the quality of the concept-to-documentation handoff is set inside SketchUp, before Revit is ever opened.
  • 02Dodge Data & Analytics research, as cited by Trimble, says up to 40% of mid-to-late-phase design time can go to re-keying, re-modeling and cleaning up geometry moved between tools; 2027’s workflow puts more weight on upfront tagging/classing to reduce manual rework in that handoff.
  • 03The importer reaches only Pro Advanced Workflows and Studio subscribers, so a firm's license mix decides who on a team can use the handoff when it arrives in November 2026.

L'Oréal's New Jersey research hub adds staff capacity in 59,000 fewer square feet

L'Oréal's New Jersey research hub adds staff capacity in 59,000 fewer square feet

L’Oréal Groupe’s New Jersey research center consolidated five buildings into one LEED Platinum facility with a design team led by S/L/A/M. Space fell from 316,330 to 257,185 square feet as employee capacity rose. Seven research disciplines (Métiers) share modular labs with mobile infrastructure, and the power plan pairs on-site generation and storage with building management and microgrid controls—without new fossil-fuel equipment.

  • 01Consolidation and adaptive reuse are two separate routes. A portfolio spread across several outdated buildings fits the first, and one sound, large shell fits the second.
