The following are her thoughts about green buildings and the rating systems that score them. Despite greater efficiencies and more greenery, buildings increasingly consume energy and resources, forget the poor, and cannibalize the natural life-support system. These were based on typical construction, not sustainability outcomes.

When the project team decided to go green during construction, high-performance coatings might not be the first thing on their minds, but maybe they should be. Every high-performance coating system is designed to guard surfaces against corrosion and ultraviolet (UV) light degradation, ultimately extending the life cycle of a building.

Moreover, embodied carbon, which is carbon released over the entire life cycle of a building, including end-of-life material disposal, is responsible for 11% of total global carbon emissions. Another ancient material, rammed earth , is a long-lasting green material. The impact of these “hidden” emissions is vast.
