Can't tell you the number of building material suppliers who ask "Why should I consider offering more "green" materials? Why should owners care if there buildings are LEED certified? (and my favorite...) How's this going to make me money?" I'm doing some research on the size of the "green" building market and how the USGBC audits LEED projects. Is there an association of LEED inspectors out there yet? Thanks for any feedback Appreciated your insight, Duke, and the link to the clear definition of LEED video!

Thanks for any feedback

I have seen a huge effort and open dialogue at my local level to embrace the LEED and or "Green" sustainability concepts. I am literally going to a meeting tonight at our local university for a brainstorming/goals session. One of the first items will be:How do we integrate the Regional/County and City governments into the overall plan? BTW the University is light years ahead of them all,and is the "800 lb.gorilla". They have already created green roofs,using student ideas and skills and I met the person responsible for all green building and sustainability practices on campus. Amazing. The ULI ( Urban Land Institute) is a great organization and thanks for the suggestion. Joe,

I think a developer would have to be extremely stupid not to build green. Beyond our social and environmental responsibility, there is no longer much of a premium for building green. I highly recommend a new ULI book called "Greening our Built Environment: Costs, Benefits and Strategies” I'm also glad that LEED continues to evolve and introduce new certifications such as LEED for Neighborhoods. I think the short-term future of development is urbanizing suburbs and transit-oriented development. However, for green to really take off, cities will have to increase incentives for green buildings, jobs, and communities. Duke, thanks for this write-up.
