You may be surprised to learn that the biggest emitters of carbon in the US (40%) aren't cars or factories. It's the building in which we live, work, learn, and play. That's the bad news. The good news is that the technology — finishes, fixtures, environmental systems — to radically reduce the ecological footprints of buildings exists and it's no more expensive, in many cases, than non-sustainable materials. Steve Glenn's company, LivingHomes, builds modern, sustainable, prefabricated homes designed by world class architect. LivingHomes first home, assembled in 8 hours, was the first in the nation to achieve LEED Platinum, the highest level of certification from the United States Green Building Council. Their second home was the Green Home of the Year when it was build. Steve will review the art and science behind sustainable design.
