The new in thing is building green And I have a few thoughts on this topic to share. The ideas behind building green and green architecture have been around for a long long time. It’s just that nobody really cared about the topic too much back then. What’s changed is the financial equation on the idea of building green. The real big change is the cost of heating your house. And having the price of gas for your car also go up has also gotten people to think more.

Like I said, this is a good thing. Without the business case, you are just trying to make people change behavior only on their political or ethical views. So it will be interesting to see what this does now that the dollar is behind it. In some ways, I’m predicting that we return to the 70’s where building green and saving energy was in the mainstream discussion and media. Submit feeds
