Green Building Practices in the Public Sector

At a recent U.S. House Subcommittee meeting on “Green Building Practices in the Public Sector”, the National Institute of Building Sciences stated that federal projects should continue to go high performance but should also look beyond sustainability.  NIBS also stressed the importance of accurate measurement of a building’s performance and not to just rely on sustainable building techniques.  This can be done through education and training, interagency coordination and making use of the NIBS High Performance Building Council.
