Successful showcase of structural bamboo systems at AIA 2013!

“It’s not where you start in life, it’s where you end up and all the places you went in between.” – United States General Colin L. Powell former U.S. Secretary of State

For the closing keynote speaker of the stimulating, three-day “Building Leaders” convention in Colorado, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) selected one of America’s most admired public figures to share wisdom and insight in becoming a great leader.

AIA 2013 was a great experience for Lamboo and our partners. Over the course of the show, Lamboo representatives Luke Schuette, CEO and Dir. of Research, along with Matt Paul, Dir. of Architectural Product Development, met with leaders, designers, and architects from all across the globe discussing the future of the building community, and the best steps towards a sustainable future.

Many of the attendees at the expo were shocked to learn of a structural grade bamboo material that can be easily integrated into their projects while out performing traditional sources in nearly every performance category.

Great connections were made at the show but we would like to especially thank our partners for their collaboration in making AIA 2013 such a huge success! These partners either incorporated Lamboo materials in their expo booth designs or were represented at the Lamboo booth. These partners include: H Window Company, NanaWall, Kolbe Windows & Doors, Dover Windows and Doors, Max-R, Pacific Architectural Millwork, G.R. Plume Company, Bless Construction Inc., and Alamco Wood Products.

These companies represent industry leaders and innovators who have chosen to take advantage of the tremendous benefits bamboo based Lamboo materials can offer.

Rebound in U.S. Green Building Materials Market

U.S. demand to post double-digit gains through 2017

Through 2017, a rebound in construction activity, combined with continuing consumer interest in environmentally friendly products, will propel US growth in green building materials demand 11 percent annually to $86.6 billion. US construction activity declined sharply during much of the 2007-2012 period, but demand for green building materials held its own, boosted by consumer interest in products that could reduce utility bills or promote environmentally friendly construction practices. For instance, homeowners installed ENERGY STAR-certified windows and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to lower energy costs and reduce energy consumption. 

Builders, architects coming to grips with LEED system

For purposes of this study, green building materials are defined as those products that can be used to earn credits toward certification in any of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems extant as of February 2013. These materials do not necessarily have to be installed in buildings where LEED accreditation is being sought to be considered green materials. Over the forecast period, builders and architects will increasingly opt to earn high levels of LEED certification by specifying the use of materials that earn LEED points. Lumber harvested in a sustainable manner can contribute to LEED certification, and is forecasted to exhibit demand gains.

Details on these and other findings are contained in Green Building Materials, an upcoming Freedonia industry study available for $5100. It presents historical demand data for 2002, 2007 and 2012, as well as forecasts for 2017 and 2022 by product, market, and region of the US.
