What sustainable materials can you use to create energy-efficient buildings?
It is important to consider the human health impacts of all building materials, including insulation. Many insulation products are made with toxic materials including PFAS and petrochemical-based materials that are harmful to our health, especially if they burn. Biobased materials like wool, earth, wood and other fibers are ideal from this perspective.

What do you do if you want to expand your professional network in sustainable architecture?
The professional associations and mission-driven organizations in the field of sustainable architecture and design are great places to learn and connect. Look for a local green building non-profit in your community to meet people working on these issues in your area. They host lots of events, offer educational resources and often have specific ways to get involved as an emerging professional.
