With a new federal order on the agenda from the government, Olga Stein shares her insights on the impact of government regulation at encouraging sustainable building change. The Environmental Protection Agency is working on processing the executive order and defining the environmental impacts. Stein describes the positive movements that come from the public and private sector’s effort to work together to create the products and innovations that the government can support through regulation. While Europe has been leading the push toward governmental regulation, Stein believes it is time for the U.S. to catch up.
