Achieving Building Community Goals: A High-Performing Sector Producing High-Performance Buildings

Henry L. Green, Hon. AIA, President, National Institute of Building Sciences

    The building industry in the U.S. has reached a tipping point. Performance requirements have expanded including goals of net-zero energy use, achievement of green rating system levels, and demonstrating returns on investment. Business as usual has not prepared the building industry for the current economic situation and the need to produce high-performing buildings at the lowest cost. A whole-building approach to achieving all attributes of high-performance will facilitate the necessary changes. The National Institute of Building Sciences through its councils and committees including the Consultative Council, High-Performance Building Council, Multihazard Mitigation Council and buildingSMART alliance are engaging leading organizations in developing the tools, practices and policies necessary. This far ranging presentation and discussion will explore the changing landscape within the building industry and the changes necessary to achieve high-performance buildings.
