SUSTAINABILITY Reducing Waste
Creating a
Sustainable
Future
Integrators have always had a vital role
to play in sustainable design for buildings,
attractions and experiences. Now, integrators
are also rallying to recognize environmental
degradation. By Alyssa Borelli

The Fundamentals
of Sustainable
Building Design
The National Institute of
Building Sciences has defined
six fundamental principles of
sustainable building design.
1. Optimize site potential
2. Optimize energy use
3. Protect and conserve water
4. Optimize building space and
material use
5. Enhance indoor environmental
quality
6. Optimize operational and
maintenance practices
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING, which
the U.S. Department of Commerce defines
as using industrial processes that minimize
negative environmental impacts and that
are safer for both employees and consumers,
has been gaining momentum lately
amid what the United Nations calls the
" Decade of Action. "
According to The Wall Street Journal,
there will be, in the next decade, upwards
of $12 trillion of business opportunities
for companies that align themselves with
sustainable development. A study from
Oxford Economics highlighted that 65%
of companies have created a clear mission
statement around sustainability, with
another 23% indicating that they are in the
process of developing such a statement.
Thus, of those companies studied, 88%
are prioritizing sustainability.
Similarly, in a SAP survey, 46% of business
leaders shared that sustainability is
top of mind for them throughout the man30

ufacturing process. Perhaps even more
significantly, 68% of them have reduced
energy consumption at their business.
Gen Z, whose members represent the
future generation of buyers, is especially
focused on sustainability as a core value.
That means future-minded business leaders
should make sustainability a priority
in order to strengthen brand reputations,
build public trust and, ultimately, connect
with tomorrow's customers.
Sustainability in AV (SAVe)
One of the biggest sustainability stories
our industry has ever seen is the emergence
of Sustainability in AV (SAVe) to
give voice to prioritizing sustainability-minded
practices. " Let's be honest, "
Christina De Bono, founder and president
of SAVe, says. " The AV industry has been
part of the problem. But it's equally true
that we can help drive the solution. " To
her point, according to The Shift Project,
