Words #003

 “ Whenever you see the word ‘green’ in the name of a building code, cross it out and write the words ‘high performance’ instead.  When green criteria move into the building code we will be looking at a new normal.  And meeting the building code is not something the majority of architects is going to hire a consultant to do.  It is an opportunity for us, as a profession, to build new value for what we do.”
