"Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed" - The Principia . Why Buildings are Key We Must Do To Design Responsibly Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Mass = Inertia Evidence Based Design

High Performance Design

Sustainable Design

Green Architecture

Whole Architecture Maximum CO2 levels to avoid
catastrophe = 350 ppm

Current CO2 > 385 ppm

We must cut emissions by
at least 80% by 2050.

We must begin to reduce
emissions by 2010. architecture2030.org architecture2030.org architecture2030.org architecture2030.org Greg Maxam, AIA, LEED-AP BD+C
