The two types we are looking for now include 1) a low-carbon TI (not a full building gut/renovation), and 2) any that involve the circular economy (in this case not just building reuse but product reuse) which could include...

Hi All,

I meant to put this is in Green Gurus and put it in SAL instead.  Rookie mistake.
