The Race to be Green is the New Space Race

Thanks so much to Brent Drewry for his recent blog post Green Building Innovators: The New Space Race. This post has given us a whole new perspective to what exactly it is we are completing here with our work on Independence Station. When he first heard about the World’s Greenest Building project, the first thing that came to mind for him was how similar it is to the International Space Station. Now, it’s easy to see the similarity in regards to different countries competing to achieve the same title, but Brent takes it to a new level.

The reason he thinks our work at Independence Station is like the race into space is because of the “ingenuity, collaboration and iconic view of the future they both represent.”

We are so excited about Brent’s interpretation of the World’s Greenest Building. We are working hard with many companies throughout the nation to come up with new technologies that, together, will help create the world’s greenest building. From energy-efficiency to water conservation, Independence Station will be a model for all of the different ways a building can be green. Ideally, these unique features will be an inspiration for people around the world to start incorporating green practices in their everyday life.

We love the comparison to the Space Race because we are creating revolutionary technology that will hopefully change the world for the better.

Thanks Brent!
