Back to: Rocky Mountain Institute--Home Page  -- Select A Page -- RMI/ENSAR Built Environment (BE) Home Resource Efficiency The Windstar Land Conservancy New & Notable Green Design Practice Joins RMI (13 September 2005) On 1 August, Rocky Mountain Institute and ENSAR Group of Boulder, Colorado joined forces in RMI's newly named RMI/ENSAR Built Environment team. ENSAR Group, led by Greg Franta, FAIA, has for 27 years been a leading consultancy in high-performance buildings. For more information see the 2005 Fall/Winter edition of RMI Solutions.   Buildings consume nearly a third of America's energy—much of it wasted by inefficient design—while land-use decisions influence another third used in transportation. Real-estate development therefore offers abundant opportunities for saving resources, not to mention reducing waste and restoring damaged land. The RMI/ENSAR Built Environment Team works to improve the efficiency of buildings and projects through consulting and research. RMI also publishes books, reports, and articles on green development and home resource efficiency for both professionals and consumers. Many of these publications are posted at this website. Additionally, RMI manages the Windstar Land Conservancy, a 957-acre tract containing vital wildlife habitat and wetlands, as a laboratory for demonstrating restorative land-management techniques.
