The reward of ambitious sustainability goals, impacts of daylight analysis, and all the energy modeling you could possibly do for all the different options on your projects How to intentionally communicate with force and respect when dealing with stressors in Green Building. A tip to help you find level understanding. Technical design changes that impact energy consumption to quantify how your designs make sense. “[when planning a new development] We always have community meetings. We have the planning initiatives, but far too often, a large segment of that community does have its voice heard, because they're either not active participants or they have been made to feel that they're not invited or welcomed to participate. Whatever the reason, part of our planning and part of our input process needs to include everyone. We need to also understand how we gentrify areas. We need to be more sympathetic to how our developments impact entire populations of people who have built their lives in a particular neighborhood and go far beyond giving just a small percentage of the neighborhood the ability to remain where they chose to live and make their life. We displace entire groups of people and it really shouldn't happen as it does now.” -Angi Rivera Angi Rivera Transcript Angi Rivera’s Show Resource and Information How Culture Shapes The Last Neanderthal LinkedIn Angi | GreenShape LLC Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES Charlie on LinkedIn Green Building Educational Services GBES on Twitter Connect on LinkedIn Like on Facebook Google+ GBES Pinterest Pins GBES on Instagram GBES is excited our membership community is growing.
