The Circular Economy in Construction – An Introduction to the Topic and the Boulder Community Hospital Case Study

Dan Bergsagel from sbp will introduce the principles of a Circular Economy in the construction industry. He will touch on how structural engineers can maximize the reuse of material in their work through designing for deconstruction, working with clients to deconstruct their projects to salvage material, and designing with reused materials in mind for new construction.

Gregory Kingsley from KL&A will present a detailed steel reuse case study of the Boulder Community Hospital and associated local projects, including lessons learnt and important considerations for the future of structural steel reuse.

• Course will award 1.25 hour of continuing education

Speakers:

Dan Bergsagel, S.E., is schlaich bergermann partner’s (sbp) Sustainability Lead and an engineer in their New York City office. He is also a Visiting Scholar with the Circular Construction Lab in the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art and Planning; an Adjunct Professor in structures at Kean University’s School of Public Architecture; and a co-founder and director of educational non-profit Scale Rule. He is a member of the SEI Sustainability Committee and Chair of the committee’s Circular Economy Working Group and a member of the IStructE Sustainability Panel.

Gregory R. Kingsley, Ph.D., P.E., Dr. Kingsley is the President and CEO of KL&A, Engineers and Builders. The firm, now celebrating its 30th anniversary, was started with the idea of integrating steel design and construction, a combination that has turned out to be ideal for embracing the vision of a circular economy as it pertains to steel structures. Greg’s current passion is using his position as a structural engineer to reduce the embodied carbon impact of the built environment. This has led not only to work in structural reuse of steel, but also to his leadership in the rapidly growing field of mass timber construction.
