UM: Green Building

By

A feature on National Public Radio looks at the issue of “green building” through the prism of UM’s new Ross School of Business building, noting also that the university has committed to seek LEED certification for every new construction project of at least $10 million. The piece quotes Andy Hoffman, a UM professor of sustainable enterprise who teaches a course in green construction: “One of the humorous things about studying this kind of topic is you can talk about dual flush toilets and waterless urinals in polite company.” [Source]
