Exploring Energy & Design: Smart Solutions for the Built Environment with Alan Thein Durning and Jason F. McLennan

This lecture is part of Seeking Sustainable Solutions: Linking Our Health, Our Environment, Our Economy, Our Communities; a Sustainable Path Foundation Seminar Series.

As the prospect of global economic crisis hits home, there is hope. The work being done to combat climate change through smart community design, green building and energy research gives communities the opportunity to respond to economic crisis with common sense solutions. This seminar will highlight work being done right here in our backyard, and explain what needs to be done in the future to ensure the sustainability of our region.

We are united in recognizing that climate change is compelling us to re-examine the ways in which we generate and use energy. Somewhat less obvious are the connections between climate change, energy, water and the design and construction of our communities. The Sustainable Path Foundation's sixth annual seminar series will explore how changes to our environment affect our health, economy and community. Join us as we discuss on-the-ground solutions.
