We have a project that is looking for plaster/stucco/textured wall products that are sustainable, or “more sustainable.”

Hi folks,
There was a lot of interest on the call yesterday in the article that Kim showed from a host of leading IAQ experts. I was not able to find a legal way to get a copy that we can share, so if you want it I think it would be appropriate to either pay the $30 for the article (one-day access ??) or $79 for a one-year AAAS...

This question of what equity looks like in project design is one I have been musing on for a while now, and I was excited that several of us were able to talk about it at the SDL Summer Summit earlier this month. That conversation has prompted me to post here, asking what all of you think equity looks like in project design... with a few... Read more
