Building a Building Science Social Media Collection

For the last few months I have been working on building up on microBEnet social media resources relating to “Building Sciences” and the “Built Environment.”  One aspect of this search has been to look for blogs that focus at least in part on “Building Sciences” or the “Built Environment.” This has been much more difficult than collecting microbiology blogs (where we have found more than 100 active and interesting blogs).  Below is a list of the main blogs I have found that cover “Building Sciences” or the “Built Environment.” in some way and are at least somewhat actice.

If people could suggest any other blogs that cover topics connected to building science or the built environment. Then we could add them to our list.  One thing about finally having a list is that I added a widget to the blog pages and main pages on the right hand side of the screen that shows the latest posts from a random sample of our collection of blogs.

Next up – collect Twitter IDs, Tumbl blogs, Pinterest Pages and more on Building Science and the Built Environment.

Here is a feed from the list I have created of people who Tweet about the Built Environment.
