Creative Exchange Lab Hosts Rick Bell of AIA New York, Buildings=Energy Exhibition

Forty percent of all energy used in the U.S. is consumed by buildings. Lighting, heating, cooling - all take energy, lots of it. Energy goes into building the raw materials for buildings as well. This is why some see addressing how buildings use energy and how the amount they use can be manipulated. Enter the Creative Exchange Lab (CEL) and Rick Bell of the Center for Architecture/AIA New York.

Bell will be the guest speaker for the opening of the Buildings=Energy Exhibit presented by CEL. The exhibit of photography, video, architectural drawings and panel displays asks: What is the embodied energy cost of building materials? How do decisions made across a building's lifespan affect its energy consumption? and more. Check out the details below and plan to attend the Friday evening opening and then return to spend more time to consider the exhibit.
