Professionals working in the built environment have a key role to play in laying the groundwork for new ways to approach energy and water use in buildings that allow them to exist in harmony with nature, rather than as environmentally damaging blights on the planet’s surface. 

Properly implemented, these thermal energy networks will fill our city centers with sustainable energy solutions that will reduce peak electrical consumption dramatically in the summertime and eliminate electrical spikes in the wintertime.

I could keep adding stories all day about great people in the building industry who know what the world needs to know: We have all the proven solutions we need for the climate change challenges we face.
