Oct. 29, 2010, Amsterdam – Energy optimization was the focus of Wednesday’s leg of the Sustainability Initiative tour I participated in earlier this month in the Netherlands. Included on the tour were:
• A “wow-this-is-amazing” ultra high-tech potted orchid greenhouse.
• A carbon neutral office complex built by a major industry supplier that could be a cover story for Architectural Digest.
• A unique 20-million-plants per year, plant-raising operation… that’s not in a greenhouse.
