AIA- An Overview Of Writing The Green RFP (Sustainable Language For Consultant Requests)
This is a tool for clients--educational and cultural institutions, companies, agencies, non-profit organizations, and others--who are writing requests for proposals or qualifications from architects and other design professionals, as well as development, construction, and construction management services.
