Beyond LEED: There’s More to Choosing a Sustainable Workplace – The Site Selection Energy Report
This is from Stuart Harris back in 2009, but still totally applicable. Planning-Design-Research (PDR): that firm's name kind of says it all. Not often do you find a group that puts planning in the front seat and bases itself on research! Remarkably diverse professionals - I can see why Exxon has gone with PDR for the past three years to prepare the way for their new corporate campus in unincorporated northern Harris County.
When I was working with Shell-Texaco-Saudi Aramco downstream joint venture real estate over a decade ago, I remember the severe feelings of personal disempowerment shared by my colleagues whenever we would broach the topic of climate stability. It will be interesting to watch whether sustainability comes to represent a typical amenity and postcard fascia or whether it catches on as a core mentality in Houston's fossil giant.
