I'm an engineer by trade. I design air conditioning systems.

There's a lot of exciting stuff going on right now in my industry such as:

The American Institute of Architects has set some pretty awesome goals: at least a 50% carbon emission reduction from new buildings by 2010 and carbon neutral buildings by 2030:

More and more projects are being built and validated using the United States Green Building Council's LEED certification program. There are some great ideas to be shared here:

Looking for tax and other incentives for being greener? Check this website out:

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air conditioning Engineers publishes standards and guides for building designers. They also publish a magazine that showcases phenomenal construction projects:

There's also all sorts of products, technologies and strategies that help people improve energy efficiency and reduce energy usage in our homes and businesses.

Awesome stuff!
