Tammy Berghofer

Design for sustainability and climate change requires changing the way most designers work. If you take standard designs and try to make them 'sustainable' by bolting on technologies, projects will cost more and deliver less per dollar. Integrative practices are key to delivering lower cost higher performance buildings for projects at all scales. This presentation delivers Five Key strategies to integrate climate change mitigation cost effectively into your everyday practice and drive sustainability outcomes in every project whether your client is a 'green client' or not.
