Please pass along to building & grounds personnel, architects,
designers, engineers - anyone who can take action to reduce bird
collisions with windows and buildings. Some of the ideas in here for
retrofits are very simple, cheap, and easy to implement. Even though New
York City Audubon published the document, it is applicable anywhere.

NYC Audubon is proud to announce the publication of the Bird-Safe
Building Guidelines,  written by Hillary Brown, AIA and Steven Caputo,
this  manual for architects, landscape designers, engineers, glass
technicians, developers, building managers, city, state, and federal
officials, and the general public. It reveals the magnitude of
bird-collisions with glass and describes the conditions that cause these
deadly collisions. Bird-safety in buildings is integral to the "green"
sustainable building movement, and the guidelines suggest strategies
that complement the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Green Building Rating system. The guidelines also suggest ways to
retrofit existing buildings. NYC Audubon's Bird-Safe Building Guidelines
are an important resource for all people in the building and design
industries as well as policy makers.
 
Hillary Brown, AIA, is principal of New Civic Works, which assists
public and institutional clients in greening their facility capital
programs, and helped found the Office of Sustainable Design with NYC's
Department of Design and Construction. Hillary has served on national
and local Boards of the U.S. Green Building Council. She teaches
sustainable design at the Princeton University School of Architecture.
Ms. Brown was a 2000 Loeb Fellow at Harvard's Graduate School of Design,
and a Bosch Public Policy Fellow in 2001 at the American Academy in
Berlin.
