Description:
Tall-building designers say their pursuit of sustainable high-rises is stymied by a dearth of performance metrics to validate their green-building system modeling. Skyscraper supporters the world over also are frustrated by the slow pace of production of sustainable buildings and retrofits, especially missed opportunities for sustainable urban planning in the hotbeds of urban development in the desert-dry, oil-rich Middle East. Others call for reeducating the entire buildings sector, globally, to enable green-building production.
