(1 blank: 4%)
Only two respondents--an architect and an engineer--(8%) had "frequently" been educated about sustainable building issues through their degree or training programs. The rest had a variety of experiences; some had occasionally (36%), some had rarely (24%), and some had never (28%) been educated about sustainable building issues during their professional schooling.
Comparison with Responses to Questions #3 and #5:
The two respondents who said that they were "frequently" educated about
sustainable building issues during their professional schooling both attended technical
institutes (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology), and are
both in their 20s, whereas all but one of the seven respondents who said that they were
"never" educated about such issues in school attended universities (Brown
University, Cornell University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Virginia, and Yale
University; the other respondent attended the Boston Architectural Center), and five out
of the seven are in their 40s and 50s.
