1. What’s Happening with Green Building in Federal Policy?
“There’s been a sustained period of several years where there’s been a drive to increase sustainability and energy efficiency in buildings,” Mike explains. “But right now, we’re kind of feeling as though there’s a push against that.”
2. Why Energy Efficiency Still Pays Off for Developers
From pursuing a formal certification to simply smarter design, energy efficiency is still critical to cost savings. From HVAC optimization to envelope performance, well-executed design choices continue to make a financial impact.

What This Means for Engineers, Architects & Developers
The takeaway? Design teams must stay fluent in local code, green programs, and performance modeling, whether or not a certification is in play.
