Green Buildings & Birds

Green Building initiatives tend to focus on energy and material resources; however features of building design can also impact biodiversity. An issue of growing concern is the large number bird fatalities caused by glass. Recent efforts, such as San Francisco's Standards for Bird-Safe Buildings, and a LEED pilot credit, "Bird Collision Deterrence", are designed to reduce the threat of glass in the built environment. Please join the AIAOC and RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects), for an informative discussion of this topic.
