According to the U.S. Department of Energy, currently about 40% of the energy consumed in the United States is attributed to buildings.
Buildings = Energy explores how critical choices by people in the fields of design, planning, engineering, government, building management, and occupant behavior can make positive energy changes in our cities.
Each portion of the exhibition uses a different lens to look at energy: from calculating embodied energy in building materials, to the process of design decisions made across a building's lifecycle, to tools used to assess and analyze energy, to municipal and community programs that bring awareness to energy issues in New York City's built environment.
