Assembly OSM

This Thanksgiving, "Follow Your Gut" - that advice from Alexandra Donovan, Head of Design and Innovation at Assembly OSM, applies to both personal enterprises throughout Thanksgiving Day... and also (as she intended) to those working in the #builtenvironment, from developers, to construction firms, to aspiring architects. As you head home to visit family, celebrate the holiday and enjoy food and fun at home, take a moment to watch Planet First Action's Thanksgiving Special, featuring Assembly OSM who is at the leading edge pioneering new solutions to tackle the climate crisis and the housing crisis, and ensure many more can enjoy a safe and healthy holiday together, in that special place we call home. In the first episode of a three-part holiday special, Alexandra Donovan and Edward Palka, AIA take us on a tour of their pioneering solution and their pilot project in #Brooklyn NY, and show how they are breaking down barriers to create the next generation of sustainable, healthy and affordable homes, with #modular skyscrapers. Watch Part 1 here: https://lnkd.in/e4jmCgKh Here at Planet First Action, we have tremendous gratitude for visionary leaders like AOSM CEO Andrew Staniforth and the whole team at Assembly OSM, who are tackling the biggest challenges of today, head on. Please be sure to like, share and subscribe, and we'll see you on the other side of the stuffing! #sustainability #housing New York City Economic Development Corporation New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation (NYCEEC) New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Partnership for New York City NYSERDA Newlab Sidewalk Labs (Part of Google) SHoP Architects Building Decarbonization Coalition Building Energy Exchange The Building People The Passive House Network Passive House Institute Passive House Accelerator Trust for Governors Island Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation Urban Future Lab

How do you move fast and NOT break things... my favorite question for innovation within construction is the theme of my panel at BuiltWorlds' Offsite Construction Conference in Raleigh! Come join me and my peers as we chat about the effective business models, streamlining logistics, organizational readiness, and more. Hope to see you there!  https://lnkd.in/eqs2UcBs

Measuring embodied carbon — it sounds simple, right? Just measure it and reduce it. Ha... If only it were that straightforward. I call it a "dark art" where you are wrestling with shadows -- unreliable baselines (try figuring out how much carbon goes into a conventional building!?) and fragmented data mean that for most projects, it’s difficult to know where we truly stand. Edward Palka, AIA worked with GRESB to break down what we’re up against. I don't want to give it all away, but just to catch your attention, he covers... 1. Missing Metrics: When data is inconsistent or unavailable, how can we even set meaningful targets? 2. The “Time Value of Carbon”: Immediate reductions have a much bigger impact than delayed ones. Timing is everything. 3. The Supply Chain Challenge: The carbon impact doesn’t just stop at building materials; it winds through the entire supply chain, and transparency here is key. 4. Benchmarking Embodied Carbon: We’re up against moving targets with standards that don’t yet fully capture the U.S. market reality. These are complex, thorny issues — but they’re ones we have to confront. The built environment accounts for 40% of global emissions, and embodied carbon is locked into buildings the moment materials are produced. (Soft Pitch) That’s why Assembly OSM’s modular approach brings clarity by measuring and minimizing embodied carbon from design to assembly. This shouldn't be a dark art — it’s time for it to become an urgent science. 🔍🌍 Dive into the article to learn what it’s really going to take to face the embodied carbon data problem head-on. #EmbodiedCarbon #Sustainability #ModularConstruction #AssemblyOSM #GRESB #ClimateAction

🏡 More sustainable residential buildings can have reduced operational expenses, better NOI, and ultimately better building value. That is relevant for operational carbon, which is only half of the picture when discussing a building's climate impact. Buildings also have "embodied carbon," which is the emissions associated with the construction materials. Operational carbon is much easier to sell, because it's easier to put a number on. Embodied carbon, like the emissions associated with concrete and steel production, is hard to measure as an immediate value proposition. The "Reimagining Sustainable Residential Construction" panel at our 2024 Climate Summit featured Brent Landry (AMH), Andrew Staniforth (Assembly OSM), Nikki Pechet (Homebound), and Dylan Emmett (Fifth Wall). #proptech #climate #realestate Blueprint: The Future of Real Estate

Evan Baehr and Freethink sat down with our CEO Andrew Staniforth to chat about Assembly's approach to urban housing! Watch the full thing here: https://lnkd.in/eYB4SGnj

Excited to have our very own Alina Gorokhova presenting how to disrupt, automate, and scale urban construction!

Assembly OSM is honored to have received this grant from NYSERDA. A huge step forward in decarbonizing construction!

We’re excited to be hosting a Phase II Certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC) training in our Manhattan office from June 10th to 14th with John Loercher! This in-person training is essential to completing CPHC accreditation, and will give you key knowledge of how to design and construct extremely energy efficient, zero carbon buildings. There’s only a few slots left, so sign up today! https://lnkd.in/eCmdPyJq  #PHIUS #PassiveHouse #zerocarbonbuildings

Caroline Michel, Alexandra Donovan, Allison Bernett, and Doug Jones are presenting at tonight's New York Hardware Meetup! This is the first time we are presenting the hardware we've had to invent to manufacture high rise buildings -- We call it... "The Hardware that Builds Our Hardware" Join Us! https://lnkd.in/eVsq2Umb

Congratulations to Assembly OSM for winning NYSERDA's Buildings of Excellence award! NYCEEC is proud to have provided predevelopment financing to support the new construction at this zero-carbon multifamily housing building! We're excited to see what else Assembly will do with their innovative methodologies to make urban sustainability scalable.
