1. Sustainable Design in a Practical World Brian Paul Dougherty, FAIA DOUGHERTY + DOUGHERTY ARCHITECTS LLP presented by:

2. The Basic Premise Sustainable design has been shrouded in a veil of mystery. Many design professionals believe that either a building is sustainable or its not, an all or nothing condition. The reality is that every project can be better, greener, and more sustainable with some care and attention to detail.

3. The Perfect Sustainable Project My thanks to Ron Yeo, FAIA

4. Rating Systems and Where to Start USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) EPA Energy Star CHPS (Collaborative for High Performance Schools) State Specific Programs

5. Rating Systems and Where to Start Look at Old Buildings – Pre Air Conditioning – Lack of Artificial Light – Low Tech Materials – Landscaping Look at Current Publications – Environmental Building News Green Building Conferences Google

6. Start the Process What are the common goals of the project What can be achieved within the schedule and budget Document the process Stretch the Envelope Revisit the Goals on a Regular Basis HAVE SOME FUN!!!!
