Smart Buildings for Sustainable Energy Consumption VALERIE ST
JOHN: Hello I'm Valerie St John. Our focus today on BizWiseTV
smart buildings for sustainable energy consumption. It's where
climate concerns and the nation's economic crisis intersect,
this need to seize control of our nation's energy consumption.
But where to begin? BizWiseTV joins you today from Washington DC
where we check in with the experts. We start with a visit to the
Urban Land Institute for a big picture look at what must be
done. The Obama Administration's message to the public sector is
loud and clear. Taking steps to cut down on the emission of
greenhouse gases is no longer an option, it's a requirement.
RICHARD ROSAN: I think the administration has taken a giant step
forward and really acknowledging that the idea of the greenhouse
gases have got to be reduced and they are really trying to see
how that can be done at all fronts. And we know that one of the
big things is that we have to do something about existing
buildings. VALERIE ST
