From leaky windows to building codes, this is how the infrastructure bill will tackle buildings
It can be easy to think of smoke-spewing factories as the energy hogs spinning our climate out of control, but when it comes to the sheer amount of electricity used in the U.S., the real problem is housing. Residential buildings are the most electricity-consumptive sector in the country. Throw in commercial buildings like stores and offices, and buildings account for nearly 75% of the nation’s electricity usage.
So when climate-conscious technocrats think about reducing electricity use, they often think about buildings. That’s why significant funding to improve energy efficiency in buildings is a major element of the infrastructure bill just approved by the House of Representatives.

Op-Ed: Why I resigned at UC Santa Barbara over a dorm design from a billionaire that has windowless room
UC Santa Barbara has embarked on the development of a massive dormitory to house 4,500 students in a single, 11-story building. The project is being funded by a donor, Charles Munger, who is solely determining the design — notable not only for its extreme density but also for its windowless bedrooms.

Heard enough about Chicago’s oh so lovely architecture? May we suggest a walk with the Ugly Buildings Tour
A Wendella tour boat glides past Mike McMains on a rainy Friday afternoon in October. The tour guide is saying something about the remarkable riverfront and the majestic Merchandise Mart, and though it’s all a little too faint to hear clearly, it’s probably positive, upbeat stuff, right? Of course, it is. Chicago, oh beautiful Chicago, has great architecture, look at this beautiful building, look at that beautiful building, this was made in such-and-such architectural style by genius so-and-so, blah blah blah. A moment later, as the boat passes from sight, McMains gathers his own architecture tour around him, a walking tour, of a dozen people today, a handful from out of town but many local.
Welcome, he says, to the Ugly Buildings Tour..”
