Story of a Green Building

Sustainable design requires a team approach. This includes architects, construction crew, engineers, developers and an engaged client. Over the last 12 months, staff at the National Building Museum documented a "green team" that created PNC Place, a building one block away from the White House that is aiming for Platinum LEED certification. Join curator Susan Piedmont-Palladino as she interviews a cast of characters that made this sustainable idea a reality.

Love this video! Thaks for sharing it!

Architects true advocacy. I think its the best way to evaluate a quality building or structure rather that all cosmetics and physical features... way to go!

Thank you for uploading. I am thinking of becoming an architect but I don’t see any architecture in this building. Yes we should build the most resource efficient building but it also should have a look of Identity and esthetics. In this world of build it quick it’s hard to find Culture landscaping infrastructure like the 19th and early 20th century had. If I wear to design it I would have 3 principles, texture, interlocking masonry and suitability.

Seems that PNC has a penchant for sexy buildings... I live in Raleigh, NC and they own the sexiest building here in downtown Raleigh called the PNC Plaza.

I hate those hand dryers we have them at my university. They are so load and not that warm!!

hi

[@justinleemiller]

Wait, you knocked down two Modernist buildings to make a Modernist building? You can see the Eisenhower Executive Building (c.1888) undergoing a retrofit in this video. I imagine it will still be standing there when this PNC building is knocked down to build greener green building.

Glass glass glass I'm sick of glass

waterless urinals are disgusting, dyson handriers just blow germs back into your hands, warmer ... Meh!

[@stevenraynor7168]

+corduroy99 waterless urinals do concentrate the waste which requires more water later on in the process, It is assumed that one washes their hands before they dry them.
