How to Get There

Imagine the following: Your client asks for a building. Instead you deliver a financial asset-a high performance building. And you do it all on a conventional budget. Unlikely? Not so. Thanks to growing demand, the cost of many green materials and technologies are on par with their conventional counterparts. But this won't happen without a client's blessing. The key is using an integrated design approach to achieve highly energy efficient buildings. Steps need to be taken at both the firm and project levels.
