Building Priorities Briefing

Series produced by Denis Du Bois

Series image

Interview-based series on green building, energy efficiency and sustainability in the places where Americans work.

NOTE: As of September 2010 this program is now called "Energy Priorities" and is distributed here and via the satellite system.

Denis Du Bois (Founding Editor of Energy Priorities Magazine) hosts this information-rich series on sustainable workplaces.

Denis draws out each guest's passions for making their business sustainable from the ground up. Guests are high-level executives, and frequently CEOs or founders.

He makes green building accessible to the layman -- not by avoiding the technical tidbits, but by making them clear and understandable.

The pieces, or excerpts from them, work well with features on urban growth, business sustainability, climate change, commercial real estate, or energy efficiency.

A typical "Briefing" is 20 minutes and has two interviews with an "Energy Minute" explainer in the middle. Carefully edited and meticulously produced, with limited use of music, each segment can be used alone or mixed-and-matched. Hide full description
