We
teach, value, and advocate a balanced, holistic approach to designing new
buildings. These days many terms are used to describe improved buildings, such
as "green," "sustainable," "high performance," and "environmentally responsive."
We are always mindful that these ideas must be kept in context with other
equally important design objectives, such as aesthetics, accessibility, cost
effectiveness, flexibility, high productivity, and security. Our members believe
that all sustainable buildings must be low-energy, climate-responsive, use
minimal fossil fuels and cleaner, renewable energy. Click on one of the
following links for more information: 
We
are still strong supporters of passive solar strategies and technology-driven
building solutions, but from the beginning, our work has touched on all aspects
of sustainable design and construction: energy efficiency, renewable
technologies, daylighting, healthy indoor environments, sustainable building
materials and products, and resource conservation . . . all the components that
make integrated, better buildings possible.
