The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has offered its services as an advisor on urban development policy and green buildings to US president-elect Barak Obama.
Earlier this week Obama unveiled economic plans which included major investment in new construction projects with an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability.
Now the AIA has recommended that an advisor on green buildings be part of the White House team selected by Obama. And the organisation has offered to help establish an Office of Urban Policy as well as making the White House itself more energy efficient.
Christine McEntee, Chief Executive Officer of the AIA, said: “During the campaign, Barack Obama voiced plans to invest in infrastructure, advance energy efficiency and sustainable buildings, and to develop a 21st century transportation system.”
“These are all longstanding AIA goals, and we look forward to working with the new administration as they tackle these important challenges.”
