		<description><![CDATA[The ASHRAE folks keep stirring the pot, and it doesn’t bode well for the glass industry. I’m left wondering: How do they get away with writing proscriptive qualifications for glazing that would result in a black/white reduction in the amount of vision glass in a building, when glazing can be more effectively addressed with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been picking up some vibes that USGBC&#8217;s LEED program might be coming under additional scrutiny. Namely, that the credits aren’t delivering the intended performance, or that some of the rating system needs to be revised.  Third parties such as the Dept. of Energy are looking into how buildings perform compared to their design.  Since [...]]]></description>

Just when you think the world, in certain respects, is locked down and won’t ever change; well the only constant is change, isn’t it?  It dawned on me recently when talking to Bill Lingnell (who’s forgotten more [...]]]></description>
