The Impact of Behavior
In the UK (Beddington Zero Energy Development) of reductions in carbon
– 58% = building envelope, equipment & renewable energy
– 42% = behavior changes (food, personal transport, waste)
In the US (Sonoma Mountain Village) of predicted reductions in carbon:
– 31% = buildings envelope, equipment & renewable energy
– 69% = behavior changes (food, personal transport, waste)
Lifestyle and behavior changes are important!

How will the architect of the future practice
The imperative “We can!” has rarely been followed with the question of “Should we?”
Does the architect’s role become the facilitator and organizer of ideas and research rather than the generator ?
Can the built environment really change our society and norms?
Does the built environment really matter in an age where life and space are increasingly digital / virtual?
How can we further sustainability? Is the answer to sustainability a building by building approach or a more holistic systematic reorganization of our cities and social and political systems?
What role do architects take in dealing with the issues associated with a global population expected to hit 10 billion people by the next generation ?
