Ann Edminster, Green Building Advisor with a revolutionary mindset

In my last post, I mentioned that sustainabililty is a mindset.

Ann Edminster, in a 2011 Green Building Advisor post “High Performance and Net Zero Homes” develops this concept, with revolutionary fervor, and no holds barred.

Her thesis is that for the green builder, there is a hierarchy of tools for transforming how we design and build.

There is an ironic overtone to this passive house geek, in that Edminster places “mindset” at the top of the list, and energy modeling and technology at the bottom.
