Residential Tuesday 2006.1107

Tue Nov 7 14:47:58 PST 2006

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Residential Tuesday brings you top housing news and analysis 
every week in this free email newsletter from the editors of 
ArchitectureWeek.

U.S. elections returns aren't in yet, but it seems a majority 
of Americans may now be ready to vote for energy efficiency 
with their wallets:

  "According to a quarterly survey by the American
  Institute of Architects, requests to home planners for
  energy-efficient housing features leapt from 38 percent
  to 54 percent from 2005 to 2006... Are they willing to
  put some money behind their concerns? The AIA poll
  indicates that 90 percent would be willing to pay
  $5,000 more for a house that would use less energy."

Energy, okay, good!  But is American housing ready yet for modernism? 
Well, maybe in New York...
