Jason F. McLennan, founder of the nonprofit that created the world's most stringent program for the certification of green buildings, is leaving his post as CEO of the International Living Future Institute to practice architecture. Beginning Jan. 1, Amanda Sturgeon, ILFI's executive director, takes McLennan's place.
The seven-person McLennan Design will concentrate on "deep-green projects" that are transformative, says the 42-year-old McLennan. "I'm hoping to spit out innovation after innovation," adds McLennan, who will continue as ILFI's unpaid chairman of the board.
