Join The Green Revolution- comes from a newsletter
highlighting some of the activities going on in the commercial construction industry throughout the country.
There's a definite green revolution sweeping the U.S. construction industry. It began on the west coast and is quickly moving east. The added costs of green building are falling and business leaders are discovering an increase in employee productivity at green workplaces.
The added costs of green building -- long assumed to be 10 to 20 percent more than traditional construction -- are falling and may have been exaggerated, according to some who've built green recently. Business leaders who've gone green are discovering that their work forces are enthusiastic about their workplace. In turn, their investment in natural light, radiant heat and high-exchange air circulation, among other measures, will be repaid with better productivity.
