A CONVERSATION ABOUT SUSTAINABLE DESIGN with Ash Awad, Vice President of Energy & Facility Services at McKinstry; and Daniel Friedman, Dean of the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA)

Design plays a pivotal role in the sustainability of our buildings, communities and products, as well as in the systems we use to handle transportation, energy and water. Can we change our perspective on the built environment from "projects that are created and finished" to a more sustainable one of "systems that perform over time"? What social factors should be considered when creating built solutions? Join us as Ash Awad, Vice President of Energy and Facility Services at McKinstry and Daniel Friedman, Dean of the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington explore these and other considerations of sustainable design and its impact on our future.
