Sustainable Design in a Practical World presented by: Brian Paul Dougherty, FAIA DOUGHERTY + DOUGHERTY ARCHITECTS LLP
The Basic Premise • Sustainable design has been shrouded in a veil of mystery. Many design professionals believe that either a building is sustainable or its not, an all or nothing condition. The reality is that every project can be better, greener, and more sustainable with some care and attention to detail.
The Perfect Sustainable Project The Perfect Sustainable Project My thanks to Ron Yeo, FAIA
