Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO, and founding chair of the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC), a nonprofit dedicated to improved cost- and
energy-efficiency in buildings, delivered the inaugural Glenn H. Beyer
Memorial Lecture on campus in April. Speaking on "People, Planet,
and Performance," Fedrizzi discussed the USGBC's oversight of
the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building
rating system and other efforts to plan more eco-friendly communities
and structures. During his visit, Fedrizzi also met with student leaders
from Cornell University Sustainable Design, toured the new Human Ecology
Building, which is striving for a LEED Gold rating, and visited DEA
assistant professor Ying Hua's undergraduate design class. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
