As an adjunct professor of sustainable design with
ITT Technical Institute owner/principal architect Juliana Touma demonstrates to
the student body, how to deliver high-performing, energy-efficient buildings
through the use of programs such as ENERGY STAR, Architecture 2030, and USGBC
LEED. Resources from these programs have
also been developed into the firm philosophy and during client orientation,
sustainable worksheets are used to help clients select which sustainable targets
they would like to achieve.
