Quote:As a counter to that, Thomas Friedman has a great piece about TI's new green office building (Dalls FW area) that runs about 40% less energy per square foot. It was a few months ago, but Friedman is really beating "it is manly to be green" drum. I am finding myself in agreement of quite a bit of what he is saying on that topic.Of course some architects and their clients are adapting energy-saving designs - they end up saving money in the long run. I guess I should have given credit where it's due, there. However, you still get plenty of coffins going up, and ideally, the various energy-saving initiatives involved in architecture should become policy.
