Presented by HKT Architects Inc. and The Green Roundtable
Co-sponsored by the Natural Resources Commission, SMART Wellesley (Sustainable Management of Appropriate Resources and Technology) and Green Waves.
Sustainable design in your home saves energy and protects health. For these same reasons, municipalities, states and the federal government have adopted policies around sustainable design and construction. Colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, and corporations also have sustainable policies that govern how they build and operate buildings. Why is sustainable design important, even imperative? In this program, Barbra Batshalom from The Green Roundtable discussed ways that green residential design can make a difference by reducing energy costs and increasing quality of life. Bill Hammer and Eric Kluz (HKT Architects) presented case studies of green municipal buildings in Boston, Cambridge, and Lexington, as well as the green Doyle Conservation Center in Leominster built for The Trustees of Reservations.
