February 8, 2006—To help meet the growing green design information needs of its 77,000 members, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently signed an agreement with publisher BuildingGreen, Inc.
The agreement allows for quick, cost-effective access to BuildingGreens well regarded sustainable design information for AIA members through the BuildingGreen suite of online tools, says AIA.
The agreement also gives AIA members a 30% discount on new and renewing individual subscriptions to BuildingGreen Suite, which includes in-depth articles, case studies, news, and product information. In addition, it outlines a number of ongoing joint initiatives that further the AIAs goals of promoting high-performance design and reducing the energy consumption of buildings, including access for members to articles from BuildingGreens award-winning newsletter, Environmental Building News, through AIA Knowledge Community publications, AIArchitect, and on the AIA web site.
The AIA and BuildingGreen will work together on several new fronts, bringing important articles and research directly to AIA members, implementing distance learning initiatives, and providing continuing education credits for architects acquiring knowledge through BuildingGreen publications, says AIA.
