Event Description

Architects, engineers and builders have become increasingly effective at designing and delivering high performance buildings. Now if only we had people who were ready to live and work appropriately in these great buildings. Leveraging insights from social science you can influence human behaviors and ultimately you can facilitate a culture where saving energy and reducing waste is “just what people like us do.” Join USGBC Missouri Gateway for a lively discussion and lots of practical examples of how you can inspire changes that ultimately create a new normal.
