This is a lecture by two award-winning industry leaders in the Intermountain West. The developer and builder, Dennis Cunningham, established a new paradigm for homes and residences that combines traditional values with smart location, healthy living and advanced energy-efficiency measures. The sustainability consultant and Healthy Homes Specialist, Sharon Patterson, has guided the Meadow Ranch neighborhood and The Gee student housing project towards multiple LEED certifications based on holistic solutions for better indoor air quality, efficiency, community connectivity and durability. Both Dennis and Sharon were instrumental in establishing the US Green Building Council Chapter in Idaho and are frequent presenters on sustainable homes and communities throughout the region. Meadow Ranch manages to meld the technological advancements of our time with the simplicity of being able to share a drink on your neighbor’s front port, pick an apple from the community orchard and stroll sidewalks to reach bike paths, restaurants, post offices and other community conveniences. The Gee speaks to the needs and desires of college students looking to live a sustainable lifestyle. Compare and contrast how times change and how they stay the same as well as how different generations view sustainability.
