Architecture 2030

Ed Mazria, founder of the Architecture 2030 Challenge and a Santa Fe based architect who is always ahead of the curve, has called the global architecture and building community to act:

"That all new buildings and developments be designed to use 1/2 the fossil fuel energy they would typically consume (1/2 the country average for that building type).

That at a minimum, an equal amount of existing building area be renovated annually to use 1/2 the amount of fossil fuel energy they are currently consuming (through design, purchase of renewable energy and/or the application of renewable technologies).

That the fossil fuel reduction standard for all new buildings be increased to:
60% in 2010, 70% in 2015, 80% in 2020, 90% in 2025 and Carbon-neutral by 2030 (using no fossil fuel GHG emitting energy to operate)."

 

The Ultimate Recycling Project
A new idea is circulating among green building proponents about remodeling: The greenest building is the one that is already built. In other words, an existing home is a great place to start a green building project—in fact, it’s the ultimate recycling project.
