Rediscover low energy approaches towards design by tapping into the past. Tom breaks down understanding resilience into three buckets, natural, technical, and social. Interact with the best and brightest in the profession by involvement with trade organizations like AIA. The first approach is thoughtful designing down to the minimum load using basic principles orientation, lighting, natural ventilation, and bolting on modest technology to solve a modest energy demand. "The idea of resilience and expanding sustainable design principles from dedicated green projects to every project. It's just kind of what we do. What is interesting is, when I'm teaching classes on sustainability…the concepts are so basic that my shorthand is: don't build stupid. And literally that's all you're doing once you know the principles, once you know the basic building physics, …you just kind of dance with the building." -Tom Liebel Get the episode transcript here!!
