Green Building Revolution - KQED QUEST

An explosion in green building is underway, with cleverly engineered libraries, office buildings, even public housing projects popping up across the Bay Area, and championed as much by landlords trying to cut energy and water costs as by environmental groups.

Rome wasn't built in one day, so don't lose hope. It's inevitable that sustainable building will pave the way to the future, it's just a matter of time.

I'm looking forward to the day when this is no longer a small movement, but simply part of the building code because it's more efficient and makes more sense in terms of resources.

Its just another way to force government control in the name of "efficiency". It isn't the buildings that are energy hogs, it's the spoiled fat lazy americans inside. They want to plow you into debt building in ways that have more cost than savings and trick you into thinking "don't worry your buildings will save energy, you don't have to". USGBC and LEED are communist arms of big banks that want to trick you into deeper debt, and bank/govt control. You can shut your breakers off, walk or talk?

besides being aesthetically functional and structurally sound, an ideal building should be environment friendly... i appreciate how these geniuses are trying to make innovations with regards to the building's sustainability by promoting green architecture! BRAVO!

*ATTENTION CITIZENS* Their claims of green are unsubstantiated lies! LEED is rejected by true green builders.
