Nice job on the story, I really appreciated the integration of the live action Broll and CG walk through of the new museum to support the comments being made.

One small post-production suggestion: Amy was never identified by name or lower 3rd. In fact you have to get to this blog page to see her credited and identified. Since her narration ties the piece together, she should be identified along the way.

But these are small nits – well done segment, very informative, with excellent production value!

Great Story. It would be great if a show focused on how cities in the bay area are working to reduce the carbon footprint of newly constructed buildings, San Jose being one example.

San Jose Builds Green
June 7, 2007 Summit to Feature Green Building Innovations
The Summit will highlight methods, incentives, rating systems, and case studies to support development of sustainable facilities, focusing on multi-family residential, high-rise, and production homes. There will be in-depth informational presentations on the rewards of green building, the various residential rating systems, how to incorporate green building products and practices, and how to benefit from incentives and financing strategies

Our firm is dedicating some of its spare time in developing a small exhibition on green design, OR, a small exhibition for small people (children) on green materials, reuse and recycling. It is exciting to live in an area where this philosophy is embraced by the larger community, although maybe not settling into younger curricula. Thanks for your program.

It's only recently come to light that building
construction and operations are responsible
for over half of our greenhouse gas emissions.
It's long been known that buildings cause more depletion of natural resources,pollution, respiratory illnesses,and energy waste of any other industry.

Now something is being done about it and
there's ample will and resources to reduce
these negative impacts to a fraction of what
has been accepted as normal.

Education lags far behind — the architecture
schools especially — but your series is bringing
home the message to a leadership audience and
I know it'll have an impact. Great job.
Congratulations.
