Jerry Yudelson’s Green Building Books Now Available As E-books from Amazon.com
I’ve gotten really addicted to reading e-books now on my new iPad. When you download the Amazon.com Kindle app, you can then seamlessly download all content from these two great green building books, both still timely and relevant. Here are the links to Green Building A to Z and Choosing Green.

Green Building News • PermalinkSustainability Management, Confessions of a Sustainability Consultant
You can download our corporate sustainability white paper from the home page of this web site. In our view, there are five key steps for establishing a corporate sustainability program:
1. Setting the Vision
2. Staffing the Effort
3. Establishing Metrics to Measure Progress
4. Implementing Strategic Initiatives
5. Communicating the Results to All Stakeholders
Establishing metrics is one of the more difficult of the five steps. What to measure, how to benchmark and how to get the data are not at all obvious or easy. Nevertheless, there are well-established sustainability accounting tools for measuring reductions in greenhouse gases, energy use, solid waste & recycling, and water use. These tools help organizations establish environmental impact baselines. Reductions are determined by the extent to which impacts are reduced compared to the baseline measurement.

Green Building Consultant Dodges Eyjafjallajökull’s Fury
Jerry spoke at Build Green CEE in Budapest on April 15th. The day before, he spoke to the first meeting of the Hungarian Green Building Council at Central European University in Budapest, an institution with an outstanding climate and energy researcher, Dr. Diana Uerge-Vorsatz, a physicist with a doctorate in energy studies from the University of California. The Build Green CEE brought together green building councils from around the region, including Hungary, Poland, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Turkey and Romania, as well as guest speakers from green building councils in Germany, the U.S. and the U.K. The large crowd for Jerry’s opening keynote talk truly illustrated the hold that green building is getting in a relatively unknown (to US audiences) part of the world. This is an exciting time to be in the green building movement, and I’m privileged to be part of it.
