I'm sure all these appointees are valuable additions, but your Advisory Board seems to be missing any representation from those most familiar with the technologies that generate the power for DE and CHP, particularly any representation from the equipment/systems manufacturers sector. Users and consultancies provide great perspective, but those most intimately involved with the design, fabrication, installation and operation & maintenance of the power generation equipment involved can provide a technology reality sometimes missed by specifiers alone. After all, it's not what we want to do so much as it is what we can do most cost-effectively and with the greatest results.

All the members of the Editorial Board look great, but since Lighting could consume 35% of a building's energy, there seems to be missing a lighting designer aware of the most energy efficient lighting tool best suited for the particular application. Only then can sophisticated and affordable design be created within the increasing energy restrictions. Of the three disciplines now regulated in 90.1, Lighting is the easiest to achieve green, sustainable illumination that enhances all design and increases productivity, safety and personal comfort.
