[Bldg-sim] GE invests in high-tech green building outfit

[David Eldridge]

I think you are right here – but with the viewpoint that Project Frog might
reach some owners that don’t have the funding/time to seek that advice from
their consultants or design team and now will have an “off the shelf” option
as an alternative.



Most people on this list are probably part of a “self-fulfilling prophecy”
where we work with people who need or want the advice.  In the world outside
those owners, I think this could be valuable.  I like it for society in
general, but don’t think it will affect me much personally.  Who knows,
maybe some of our clients will look at these?

I hope the good folks at GE realize that buildings don’t use energy, people
do.



But then, as Winston Churchill said, we shape our environment and our
environment shapes us. Maybe Project Frog can influence user behavior to use
less energy!



However, in my humble opinion Project Frog doesn’t offer anything new what
any architect or engineer who is sensitive to energy use in buildings
doesn’t offer.



Best regards,
