It started as an idea, and then turned into a concept, then an urgent “or else” movement. It is the new buzz word to which we are now building our modern structures, it is called sustainability.
In common thought terms, it is the idea of constructing a building that uses less energy which requires less generation of energy which leaves us a healthier planet. There are many facets to sustainability such as water conservation, lighting and temperature controls, daylighting and urban density (walking instead of driving) but for our little micro world of stucco and EIFS, I wish to explore the sustainability that is EIFS.
