Starrport.Ning replaced

Starrport (Jim Starry's design for environmentally-friendlier airports) had an own Ning site. It was planned to be a channel for updates and community building for Starrport. Because of spam and other adversities, the Ning will be suspended. Instead, point to http://www.recyclus-com.blogspot.com where you can find an introduction video with Jim Starry himself who introduces his Starrport. A two-minute version is free, the full 8:36 version and some 200 high quality lifestyle videos in an advertising-free environment are available with a modest one-time subscription of $ 9,-.

LEED, the major green building certification, has over 43,000 accredited professionals. But the cutting edge in efficient buildings goes far beyond LEED. Buildings constructed according to Passivhaus and MINERGIE-P standards in Germany and Switzerland, respectively, use between 75% and 95% less heat energy than a similar building constructed to the latest codes in the US.
