Sustainability Coordinator, Jim Murphy, and our video crew were on hand for three days at GREENBUILD Boston 2017 where we had the chance to learn what the future of sustainability looks like when it comes to the built environment and beyond.
We had many great interviews, one was with USGBC Co-Founder and Chairman & CEO of the International WELL Building Institute Rick Fedrizzi of USGBC who spoke about how LEED’s connection to human health, he said, “LEED has always had a very strong connection to human health but it was centered around light and air quality. So what we have done is we’ve been looking at how LEED would relate to another rating system that actually took the idea of human health and wellness about 75% further so a realy deep dive into how air, light, and acoustics, and toxins affect people. But also going further into the world of fitness, comfort, mind and nutrition, things that drive us all in the advancement of our society.” You can learn about what Rick had to say by watching Designing for Sustainability’s 2017 coverage of GREENBUILD Boston.
Other great interviews included Bill McDonough, architect, product designer, and author of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, USGBC President, Mahesh Ramanujam, Ralph DiNola, CEO of the New Building Institute, Maureen Hart, Executive Director of ISSP, Jamie Statter, USGBC’s VP of Strategic Relations, Alex Wilson, President Resilient Design Institute, Jeremy Sigmon, USGBC Director of Technical Policy, Christopher Schaffner, Founder of The Green Engineer, Grey Lee, Executive Director of USGBC MA Chapter, Mike McNally, Fmr., Chairman of the Board of Director of USGBC.
