Humanitarian Design in Architecture – Fighting Climate Change, Promoting Community, and Fostering Energy Efficiency

By Guest Writer, Maverick Esser, with an Introduction by Steve Carter, CPA, Assurance & Advisor Principal
ASL Renewable Energy Group

For some reason, I found myself really struggling with finding an interesting topic for this edition of the ASL Advisor.  I was hoping to somehow discover a timely topic that impacts us all, yet offers some form of viable solutions to the critical, if not dire, challenges facing our global environment.
