The Enemy Within: Tom Hartman's Suggestions for Building Performance

I have always been a big fan of the Building Energy Operations guru, Mr. Tom Hartman. I ran across this article a while back in AutomatedBuildings.com which outlines some unconventional concepts regarding building design which could shake up the industry.

In a nutshell, Hartman suggests that the construction industry switch to a "“Performance Based” Building Design and Operations" strategy. The strategy addresses the main need of ACCOUNTABILITY for energy performance within the design and construction process.
