It’s Evolutionary    Incremental Change @ Revolutionary Speed   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],LEED: 4-5 Points - (2-3) Energy Optimization Points  - 1 Point Occupant Thermal Control  - 1 Point Increased Ventilation  (Supports this Point)
The Wilder Center - Green for Good What is Sustainable Design? It’s Resourceful    Identify + Creatively Use Available Resources   Resources are  NOT  always Identified As Resources Example: Stormwater or Rainwater? Stormwater gets a Sewer = Negative  Rainwater gets Harvested = Positive   The Development installed  Stormwater  Tanks   - Did not provide for Rainwater Harvesting  - Construction Cost of Infrastructure was Spent  - Wilder Could not justify the cost to Re-construct Lost  3 Potential LEED Points   -  No Use of Potable Water for Irrigation  - Innovative Waste Water (Rainwater for Toilets)  - Reduced Stormwater Run-off (LEED Level) Rainwater should be considered a Resource.

They always have losers and are called war…NBA, Wall Street  and politics. We play Infinite games to play; they have no losers because the object of the game is to keep playing. Infinite Games are called family, culture, tree planting, storytelling, community,  <sustainable design>  Paul Hawken – Blessed Unrest “ There are two kinds of Games in the world. Games that end and games that don’t. There are finite games and infinite games.
