LIVING BUILDINGS

Moving Beyond Words to Actions

 

A year has transpired since our last conversation regarding the value of seriously considering alternatives to power density as the prevailing national energy metric. During that time, what movement has occurred and what are the ramifications to the industry of that movement? This last year has, in fact, seen significant change in the attitudes and actions among the organizations that develop codes and standards. This last year has also seen the design and construction of new buildings that have made significant progress in both energy efficiency and environmental quality. This presentation is intended to both bring the audience up to date as well as pointing the way to the next potential step in combining environmental quality and energy efficiency.
