Ending this series with a tribute to the hard-working people who build the places where we live, work and play.

You can see the original work that inspired this piece at the Detroit Institute of Art.

Do you smell it? No, you can't, if your building was constructed with materials that have a low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content. Better air quality, and fewer contact buzzes. These are good things.

Commissioning! 🎉 It's the process where we make sure the building's systems are working as advertised.

Bonus: The drawing has a watermark because, like every drawing in this series, it was done on repurposed stationery.

I have seen the light!
Energy efficient lighting can save significant dollars for building owners and natural resources for all of us.
This was done before the advent of LED lighting, so don't @ me. 😂

Ammonia! Huah! What is it good for?

Ongoing maintenance is a critical aspect of the sustainability of any building project. Choosing non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaning supplies goes a long way toward a healthier and more peaceful workplace. ✌☮
