Co-hosts Ian and Ginger spread the word that utilizing sustainable, green-building principles in construction, design, and urban development is not just morally and environmentally good, but also good business! New methods, materials and technologies to bring down costs and increase productivity are already here, creating a huge opportunity for anyone savvy enough to invest in venturing beyond the current status quo. We at Sustainable Homes of the Future are excited to dive into the details of the green-building "boom" and share our sustainability conversations and interviews with listeners here in Los Angeles and across the globe.

After a brief recap of our first episode, we focus on the subtle differences between a traditional site analysis and one that considers the environment itself as a stakeholder in the project. Sustainability requires that we consider on-site assets (trees, sun, wind) and examine local climate before determining how and what to build.
If we lead with passive solar design and use modeling to minimize mechanical systems we have the opportunity to lower the carbon footprint of any building...paving the way for a better future for us all!

We kickoff Season 1 of our podcast series by walking you through the necessary steps to approaching a building through the lens of Sustainable Design, which differs greatly from the outdated building systems still being used today.
The Integrative Process gives architects, builders and others in the industry the opportunity to use new methods, technology and innovation to save money, protect the environment, and avoid costly mistakes and miscommunication during design and construction.
Hint: Green, sustainable building design is 90% preparation!!!
