Millions of jobs will be destroyed, but many jobs will also be simultaneously created in the process as well.

The dramatic shift in office design in the last decade has seen many iterations — open offices, biophilic design, water features, dedicated task areas, and more.
The purpose of all of it is to improve the working lives of employees who spend more than half their waking hours at the office.
Let's face it: The work-life balance is a myth for most Americans. That's where office design comes in. Smartly designed offices help with health and well-being of employees, employee retention, lower absenteeism, boosted productivity, job satisfaction, and improved creativity.

Picture this: You live in a hot and humid climate, and you get access to energy. What's the first thing you buy to stay cool? An air conditioner (AC). As incomes and standards of living increase around the world, so does the use of ACs. As a result, the global energy demand for ACs is expected to triple by 2050. However, people are buying units with average efficiencies of less than half of what is available on the market. To respond to the growing demand for cooling, we must, first and foremost, think energy efficiency.

Fresh air is healthier than stale or polluted air, and while increasing ventilation may increase energy use, research shows the benefits of doing so outweigh costs. While building ventilation standards are based on minimum requirements — specifically ASHRAE Standard 62.1 that stipulates about 20 cfm per person in office space, but less in many cases — increasing ventilation to reduce levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) below previous limits has benefits that include cognitive enhancement, productivity, and health.

Building Design + Construction
Boston has enacted new rules to help buildings withstand climate change.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved the new rules recently with the aims of helping to minimize flooding, keep the lights on in more buildings during power outages, and make it easier to upgrade street lights and other public works. Developments of 1.5 million square feet or larger will need to assess installing an on-site power plant, and would have to build one if it's financially feasible.

From the end of the Second World War until a few years ago, when it cooled off, productivity surged across the U.S. economy, giving rise to what's often called the "productivity miracle." From manufacturing to agriculture to retail, industry after industry became cheaper, faster, more mechanized, and more efficient.
But the same can't be said of construction. Productivity in construction has not only not risen, it's actually lower now than it was in 1968.

The Outline
Earlier this year, Sara Law of the Carbon Disclosure Project raised her hand at a conference in New York on government and private sector initiatives to address climate change. She politely asked the panel, which had been assembled to discuss opportunities for investing in low-carbon infrastructure, whether they knew how much cement each project might require. The panel members shifted uncomfortably in their seats and chuckled; no one jumped in immediately to respond.

Elevators have improved much over the years. Hand-drawn platforms in ancient Rome led to Elisha Otis' safety brake to today's elevators that are more efficient with destination dispatch and AI controls. But for all this advancement, the same basic premise persists: A cab, suspended by ropes, moves up or down a shaft.
Last year, German technology and engineering firm ThyssenKrupp unveiled the first novel advancement in elevator technology in generations.
