[bldg-sim] Green Building Studio

[Russell Richman]

Hello everybody,

After reading some of the posts surrounding this thread, I think we are missing 
the point.  Educating the masses.  In my opinion, that will be the single 
deciding factor for future generations.  As such, ANY way we can educate will 
help.  One small step forward is still a step in the correct direction.  
Wherever, whatever, whoever...if the word gets out about energy efficient 
buildings then progress is being accomplished.

Just an observation from "the great white north."

Cheers,
Russ
