Buildings

What percent of your time do you think is spent inside of buildings?...Approximately 90% (unless you're a vagabond living under the stars in Tahiti, which maybe we all should be...) Buildings are the structures that we spend the majority of our daily lives in. They use approximately 1/3 of our energy, 2/3 of our electricity, and the amount of raw materials used for building is immense. If we want to sustain the earth we live on, we need to consider what effects our buildings have on the environment. For the past generations man has gotten attached to the mindset that "bigger is better, faster is best" and forgotten that we need to work with nature in order for the entire system to regenerate. By studying nature's intelligence and holistic cycles of creation we can utilize both natural and human capital together in the most efficient and prosperous way.
