Personal Statement
I was a fellow on the High
Performance Building Guidelines project and its follow-up,
Implementing
the High Performance Building Guidelines. The opportunity to work
with a large group of stakeholders in
New York City government and assist in
the development of awareness of the basics
of sustainability was a very important
to me. Instead
of consulting to a group, it
was much more valuable to participate
in the process of understanding.
Being a resource is much more fun than
simply telling people what to
do. The multitude of projects
toward which we later applied
these high performance building
principles made the process more rich.
New York City is one of the few places
this kind of intense engagement can occur
over an extended period of time.
