I subscribe to the newsletters from Architecture 2030. The
organization was founded by Dr. Ed Mazria, a renowned architect
currently working out of Santa Fe. I first ran in to Mazria
watching a webcast presentation jointly spored by the Architecture
Institute of America and the NY Academy of Sciences. He shared the
time with NASA's Dr. Jim Hansen. <br>
<br>
This latest newsletter begins with good news:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Each year, the U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) publishes its forecast for U.S. building
energy consumption. Since the 2030 Challenge was issued, this
outlook has vastly improved.
<b style="font-size:13px;">A HEALTHY DECLINE</b><br>
The following graph shows the EIA's 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011
Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) projections to the year 2030, clearly
illustrating that estimates of residential and commercial building
energy use to 2030 have been dropping dramatically since 2005 – by
nearly 70% – due to considerable movement within the Building
Sector to improve building design and efficiency.

This is one of the most important ways to combat global warming. <br>
