"Using case studies of recent high performance architecture, this session will identify key strategies required to increase sustainable methods to achieve zero carbon goals by the year 2030. The case studies examine design strategies and processes for the next generation of sustainable architecture, going beyond current best practices through synergistic approaches to bioclimatic site design, envelope, energy optimization, daylighting, passive and active systems, and materials." Presented by Terri Meyer Boake and Mary Guzowski; provided by the Society of Building Science Educators.

Listen. There's no way I can do this presentation justice, so I'm not going to try. Forgive me. Download the slide presentation. Look at the information from COTE at the AIA website; scroll down, follow the links.
It's better for you this way.
