Climate Friendly Retrofits New
By: Rick Barnett - Thursday, February 18, 2010
Source: iGreenBuild.com
As Stimulus dollars continue to flow, we observe a significant and expanding investment in “building retrofit” programs. While some actual retrofitting is being financed, much of the money is being used to audit houses, report findings to homeowners, and market conventional efficiency upgrades. The stimulus investment will invariably save some energy, but it is not on a track to capture the vitally needed carbon reduction potential of buildings.

Architectural Space as a Component of Site Design
By: Richard Harrison - Monday, November 23, 2009

Architectural talent does not automatically mean land planning talent.
An experienced “renderer” can make a bland site plan come alive, yet this does not mean it’s a good plan – it’s just a “good looking” plan. It takes more than a good looking site plan to make a sustainable neighborhood.
