As we move increasingly toward market-viable net-zero buildings with initiatives like ASHRAE Vision 2020 and the AIA 2030 Commitment, we must reevaluate how typical building components affect a facility’s energy efficiency. Energy savings and thermal comfort gained from an increase in air movement is an important new consideration in building efficiency and energy conservation

While greater energy efficiency achieved through technology and construction techniques is essential, this webinar will explore the ways smart growth and smaller residential unit design can achieve true sustainability while at the same time saving valuable lands for agriculture, forest, wet lands, animal and bird habitats, and recreation
These factors are important to the health and energy efficiency of any building but are especially important to health care facilities due to their low tolerance for risks associated with moisture and associated organic growth (mold)
