What People Are Saying  

“When Texas Instruments was planning our new $3 billion wafer fabrication facility, we teamed up with RMI for a charrette. In just three days we sketched out a roadmap for a new facility that will use 20 percent less energy and 35 percent less water than our previous model. Best of all, it cost 30 percent less than our previous facility. Sustainable design makes great business sense. RMI showed us that there is a better way.”

--- Paul Westbrook Sustainable Development Manager, Texas Instruments
