Design Practice Architects fail to grasp theory, mostly abandon interest. Engineers expect to solve problem. Efficiency features selected haphazardly. Glass-box buildings spread, major step backward. Engineers advance in some areas, complain they are not paid for efficient design.
Designers lose interest, fail to specify efficient equipment.
Fast-track construction interferes with efficient design. Structure of design professions continues to inhibit progress. Owners fail to create motivation for efficient design. Construction Practice Wasteful construction practices identified, especially insulation. Wasteful practices largely continue.
