We are looking for some examples of public agencies who have
successfully employed these strategies in building design and
construction. We are also interested in any municipal wood
waste/pallet/furniture reuse and recycling programs, and/or any
progessive building codes adopted by states and localities.
For example, I have reviewed the draft Sustainable Building Development
Guidelines for the City of Santa Monica. Is this considered the forefront
of building reform? And how about the City of Austin? I heard they are
taking the lead in this area as well.
Thanks for your help and I will post information on how people can receive
a copy of the guide when it is completed.
