I design buildings for a living; here’s why I support energy-efficient building standards

As an architect, much of my career has revolved around creating buildings that Maryland’s families and residents can find joy and comfort in. I’ve learned that well-designed buildings — from schools and commercial spaces to our homes — can impact one’s health, safety, and quality of life. That’s why I’m encouraged by new Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) included in Maryland’s Climate Solutions Now Act.
