One of the most difficult challenges confronting architectural students who wish to incorporate sustainable principles of design lies in understanding what are the most appropriate tools to use and how and when to efficiently and effectively integrate them into the design process. This website aims to provide a practical overview of some of the available tools and methodologies for incorporating sustainable principles into the design process. toolsforsustainability.com is an online forum for students of Architecture - started and updated by faculty and students at Cal Poly Pomona's Department of Architecture. The website is just starting out, so please email juintow at foxlin dot com if you have any comments.
