As an architect Ed Mazria, that buildings are announced almost 50% of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans, the construction was baffled. After a long career in passive solar architecture, he has taken on the goal of the steep reduction in the CO2 footprint of architecture – especially with his challenge by 2030, to eliminate aiming the use of fossil fuels in new buildings, and up to the year 2030 50% reduced the use of fossil fuels in existing buildings. To help meet these goals, Mazria is launching a new initiative called 2030-range - a robust, visually oriented online design tool, which is attempting to produce the low-impact, people friendly to help projects. We have recently visited Mazria offices in Santa Fe, where we talked in-depth about his work and the sustainable development the architect can save us from the worst climate change has to offer.
Mazria: Absolute. The range of 2030 is an interactive online tool that put the principles behind carbon and robust built environments on the fingertips of the architects, planners, and designers around the world.
Why is the range by 2030 it important to? Our world will be revised, redesigned and over the next twenty years - effects then rebuilt to over 900 billion square feet of construction. This is equal to 3.5 times the entire built environment in the United States today an area. How we plan for and design the built environment from here on out is, whether climate change is manageable or catastrophic.
The 2030 range offers an exceptional opportunity to influence the direction we choose. We are a strong catalyst for global implementation of the challenge by 2030 and more - to ensure that our buildings and communities consume less fossil fuels, to complement delicate ecosystems and are the location, insert into to adapt to climate change.
Our goal is to inform the planning and design process at the moment of inspiration. By curating the best information, and powerful visuals and simple language, are highly complex ideas made intuitive and accessible. Guidelines to be single "swatches", which together represented the larger structure of sustainable built environments. Swatches are in terms of global and local in practice, providing location-specific policies for applications in the built Umwelt----interconnected transport and Habitat networks, where entire regions span, elegant passive design applications that can be natural light, heat or cool a building.
We have only just begun beta testing among a selected group of more than 500 professionals: architects, planners, designers, developers, decision makers and educators. A full release is schedule for November 2013. Furthermore, then continues to the platform grow unfolded with new content and features as a transformation of the built environment. Invitations to participate in the beta version will be sent on a rolling basis. All interested persons can sign up at 2030palette.org.

Mazria: In the year 2000, there was little discussion about architecture, to do nothing to do with the problem of climate change. It was not until 2003, when metropolis magazine published his "Architect pollute" problem with the feature article titled "turning down the global thermostat, this architecture and the built environment has been recognized as the greatest contribution to the climate and crises, and paradoxically the sectors that best could solve them.
The term of the construction industry is a major contributor to CO2 emissions, which originated in a workshop, we bring in our own architecture Office staff on the relationship between energy and the built environment carried out quickly. We led tutorials, and one of the problems that came up was climate change, and "What has to do with us?" So we said: "Let us examine, it is an interesting question". What we discovered was astounding: buildings were consumed about 50% of the generated energy and CO2 emissions in the United States.
