PRISM Sustainability in the Built Environment (SBE) is a unique online journal, resource and cooperative effort to further sustainable building for both emerging and experienced architects, specifiers, consultants, builders, suppliers, and users of sustainable building materials.
- Emerging architects and others who hope to work in this fast-paced and incredible fulfilling environment can better understand and grow their knowledge, scope and understanding of sustainable design.
- Experienced architects, specifiers and others involved in green building receive materials information, news, and resources for their building projects.
PRISM SBE provides architects, consultants, specifiers, builders, suppliers and users of sustainable building materials; the product information, news, project profiles, organization news, insights and other articles and information on sustainable building in one place. It integrates the parts that make the whole—materials, systems, their specification and use—as the green-building era continues to mature and evolve into the whole-building era, with its emphasis on the building envelope, solar energy, cool roofs, net-zero and net-positive design, and the passive building. PRISM SBE also integrates the old with the new—historic restoration and preservation —and urban planning and the increasing focus on exurban planning.
PRISM’s mission is to disseminate information on the sustainable built environment in one publication, SBE, and to further the cause of sustainable building. PRISM provides a forum in which to discuss ideas, ask and answer questions, and offer emerging architects expertise. PRISM SBE’s focus is on sustainable building materials in hopes that information published today will contribute to sustainable and resilient buildings tomorrow. Our belief is that sharing and cooperating with each other can add value to a sustainable future while ensuring the preservation of the past.
