I have managed multi-million-dollar projects for Federal, State and education institutions for over twenty years. Few clients valued sustainability during this time and some even told us to "make sure [the building] doesn't look too good, so tax-payers won't criticize us"! Happily, sophisticated clients now understand the value of sustainable design.Now is the time for the entire architectural and construction community to come together to retrofit our entire building stock to work sustainably. Improvements can include replacement of unhealthy off-gassing materials with natural or inert materials, natural daylight in occupied spaces, super-insulated exterior walls and roofs, super-efficient triple-glazed well-oriented and appropriately-sized windows and doors, replacement of heaters and air-conditioners with passive heating and cooling (to the maximum degree possible), 100% heat-recovered ventilation air, on-site power generation, rainwater capture for non-potable uses, on-site stormwater management, landscaping with edible and native plants, densification, and general well-considered thoughtful design.Sustainabile buildings will enable people to live cheaper, healthier and happier. Half of the current US energy requirements can be eliminated, enabling national energy-independence, reducing pollution, and reversing global warming. The world can be saved by renovating our buildings. That's my goal - Save the world!Specialties: Sustainable architectural design, adaptive reuse of historic properties, site and building analyses, and comprehensive project management.
