High-performance has become the latest buzzword to describe buildings. Everyone wants a high-performing building, but what does that mean? (Hint: It goes beyond sustainability.) What is needed to assure all future buildings are high-performance buildings? Where can I find one today? Why is there a High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus?
