- 1. WHAT HOW WHY SUSTAINABLE GROW FACILITY & DISPENSARY AIMED AT RE-THINKING HOW THESE FACILITIES ARE DESIGNED. THE BURGEONING MARIJUANA INDUSTRY'S RESOURCE CONSUMPTION IS UNSUSTAINABLE. WHICHEVER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT ONE MAY BE ON REGARDING THE LEGALITY OR MORALITY OF MARIJUANA USE, THESE FACILITIES ARE BEING LEGALIZED, DESIGNED AND BUILT AND ARE CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY PER SQUARE FOOT. IT IS TO EVERYONE'S BENEFIT FOR BUILDING DESIGNERS TO JUMP IN AND START THE CONVERSATION ABOUT DESIGNING THEM IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY. DESIGNERS NEED TO LEAD THE WAY TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE BY DESIGNING THESE FACILITIES IN A WAY THAT INCREASES ENERGY EFFICIENCY, WATER CONSERVATION AND PROMOTES OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY.
