Dear
Clients & Colleagues:
A
Change in the Wind
I don’t know if it is just my imagination, but I am sensing a shift
these days. People seem to be moving away from old ways of
thinking, rejecting the "Orwellian" rhetoric of happy talk, and are
actually beginning to take a long, hard look at the emerging facts
regarding the environment, and our collective effects upon it.
Buildings
Account for 1/2 of Our Energy Use
No one will argue with the fact that the cost of energy is going
up. We can all debate the reasons, but, the fact is that energy
efficiency in building design is now an economic necessity, not just a
tree hugger's pipe dream. Environmentally-intelligent design is
not a fad. It is mechanical, electrical, plumbing, landscaping,
lighting, and structural systems design working in concert within the
architectural concept to create responsible solutions to what has
become one of our most urgent issues.
Independence
On the 4th of July, 1976, the American Bicentennial, I placed the
cornerstone of the Ohio
Stone Cabin. Beneath it lies a time capsule, with a
dedication to “American Energy Independence”. Three decades
later, it is time to rededicate ourselves to this important and
necessary cause. We are a catalyst for change, and, together, we
can influence the course of events.
With Regards, |
