Digital media has the potential to radically change how we – as individuals and as a society – make decisions and take action around sustainability. With 80% of Canadians living in urban communities, embedding sustainable thinking in the computer-based design and decision-making processes and practices of our built environment has become an urgent, national priority. New technologies can promote environmental awareness, encourage conservation, and enable control of energy and water use.
