Question Questions to be asked of us from a client pertaining to Sustainability and Life Cycle Costs:
Can you help us put more focus on a lab building's life cycle costs in concert with its first costs.?
Can you help us craft a science building sustainability initiative that can help save money, be used as a tool to recruit faculty, be used with fund raising, and even be integrated into science education to build enthusiasm among students (the next generation of consumers).?
Can you provide guidance on how best to implement those aspects of Labs21 that promote sustainability over time.?
