The American Institute of Architects, Washington, D.C., has launched a 12-Webisode series that educates viewers on various elements of sustainable design. The videos, available at www.aia.org/walkthewalk, are part of the “Walk the Walk” integrated marketing campaign, which is focused on helping clients and the public learn more about sustainable design elements and how architects provide energy-efficient solutions to help lower carbon emissions. The short Webisodes focus on instruction for those planning a new building or renovating an existing structure. Topic areas include water conservation, renewable energy sources, eco-friendly daylighting and holistic building plans. New videos are being posted every other week through Dec. 8.
