DAVID EISENBERG, ON THE ROOF WITH… CO-FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY IN TUCSON, ARIZONA Interview by Caroline M. Nolan In 1997, David Eisenberg, a “recovering contractor,” found himself contemplating the building code system. While we have building oﬃcials and building codes to protect people, he reasoned, a broader deﬁnition of the categories of risk and responsibility was required to help protect the environment, ensuring a safe and healthy planet upon which to build those buildings. This questioning, he now realizes, marked the beginning of a deeper engagement with the building codes community to create a more sustainable context for building codes. Eisenberg’s work toward that end includes: two terms on the Board of the U.S. Green Building Council (he founded and chairs the Building Codes Commi�ee); vice-chair of the ASTM E-06.71 Subcomi�ee on Sustainability for Buildings for ﬁve years; numerous workshops, seminars, lectures and keynote addresses at conferences and universities around the world; co-founding the Development Center for Appropriate Technology (DCAT) in Tucson, Arizona, a nonproﬁt that works to promote healthier communities and planet by promoting a shi� to sustainable construction and development through leadership, strategic relationships, and education; co-authorship of The Straw Bale House (Chelsea Green Publishing, 1993); and the writing of numerous papers and articles. More recently, he was lead author of “Code, Regulatory and Systematic Barriers Aﬀecting Living Building Projects,” a July 2009 report commissioned by the Cascadia Green Building Council in support of the Living Building Challenge™. (This report and many other related resources available for download at the DCAT website www.dcat.net under “resources.”) We interviewed Eisenberg from his home in Tucson, Arizona. http://www.dcat.net
