| | AIA members are working to gain
acceptance of two important
initiatives in the race to end rising
energy costs and damaging
climate change within five to ten
years. We need your support in
finalizing the National Emergency
Standards on Sustainable Building
Products and Zero Energy
Buildings. Formal adoption of
these standards will further the
AIA's effort to cut fossil fuel energy
usage in half by 2010 and be
carbon neutral by 2030.
Help us improve global
sustainability, stop damaging
climate change, and curb rising
energy costs. Attend one of the two
national public meetings to help the
AIA and MTS finalize these national
standards. For more information,
contact MTS at 202-338-3131
or send an email to
mts@sustainableproducts.com. | |

reverse metering, renewable power,

funding measures. To see the Sixth
