so we should be able to communicate this. It is still
part of the conversation, but legislation may have
to dictate this - or we will have to do a better job
educating our clients.

"There is a huge body of evidence
that shows that design really matters
and can impact people's lives."

see the space before it is designed? Visualization
design technology allows them to see the whole
space, which helps move the purchase process.

Where will green design rank this year?
Mozen: This was dead during the recession, but
more municipalities are bringing codes up to
date. The city of Atlanta is already requiring that
if you are putting in a new HVAC system with
new ductwork, you have to do a duct test to check
for leakage.
Why would you choose anything but LED
lighting? The bulb is guaranteed to last so long -
maybe even a lifetime - and it does not produce
the heat of the bulbs used in a standard recessed
can. With today's high ceilings, people do not
want to have to change bulbs often.You will spend
a little more money up front that will all come back
to you - it is an investment.The recessed cans I use
are two inches - the smaller size blends in better
with the ceiling.

Stapperfenne: There are people who will always
look for green options but who are also concerned
about price.The Gen Ys are definitely into what is
environmentally sustainable. A great majority of
us educated professionals will always present this
as an option where it applies.
Has anything about our industry surprised you recently?
Gutierrez: The reaction of the markets to any sem-

blance that the Fed may increase interest rates a
little bit is surprising. The stock market reacts to
any tiny little thing - sometimes confounding
common sense.

Fiser: Nothing surprised me, and I am more excited about the industry and our profession. We
are celebrating our 40th anniversary, so 2016 is a
great year to really celebrate how our profession
has advanced over the last 85 years.There is a huge
body of evidence that shows that design really
matters and can impact people's lives.
Stapperfenne: The American consumer seems to

use the daylights out of marble countertops, which
are soft and porous. This leads me to wonder if
they are actually using the kitchen or making reservations instead of cooking.

Crowe: I am surprised that the housing market
has improved slowly; I thought it would be a
lot faster. The good news is that it continues to
move forward.


Kovich: Green is important, but does it mean more

consumers will want to go this route? People want
to do their part, but they want to know what their
level of inconvenience will be. People do not understand the impact of their decision to be green,
