Carbon-Neutral Design
Resources
The Carbon
Neutral Design Project is a joint research effort
between members of the Society of Building Science Educators (www.sbse.org),
the American Institute of Architects (www.aia.org),
and a private donor, the |
|
purpose
of which is to provide practitioners, faculty and students with
the means to meet the 2030 Challenge (www.architecture2030.org),
that is, to be able to design and construct buildings to a state
of carbon neutrality by the year 2030. The work included in this
web resource is the result of a committed effort from educators
and practitioners and is an attempt to define a working
methodology for Carbon Neutral Design that will be of general
benefit to the profession. IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, A BEGINNING.
There are pieces of the site that are incomplete at present. These
will be filled in over the next few months. The Carbon Neutral
Deign Metrics are evolving. A CND Spreadsheet Tool is
forthcoming. Please check back periodically for more content. |
