TreePeople hosted the June 25, 2008 event for over 60 architects, designers and others interested in sustainable design.
Mike Italiano , CEO of the Institute for Market Transformation to Sustainability is introduced by Ginny Dyson , the Sustainability / LEED Manager for DMJM H%N.
Mike provides an overview of Sustainable Standards at large, SMaRT's history, and why the concensus process for standard approval takes so long.
He also covers Life Cycle Assessments, why they are necessary and the criteria components for the standard. In later videos, you'll hear first person experiences as to why these components are valued for Sustainable purchasing and design.
