Over the past 10 years, green building has grown into a global phenomenon that has changed the way we think about the built environment. As buildings, homes and whole communities of all shapes and sizes, across every market sector and reaching all corners of the globe are building green, the LEED green building program, currently in use in 119 across the world, is redefining our sense of place, creating innovative buildings, technologies, products and services that give back to their environments.

Transparency. This buzz word is swarming the rooms of building product manufacturers, architects, designers, specifiers and building owners.

In today’s design and construction environment it would be hard to imagine any conversation that did not include the discussion of green building and sustainability. Sustainability has many meanings and the pursuit of this elusive principle has become a daily endeavor for designers, design firms, product manufacturers, contractors and subsequently, clients. Clients appear to be mostly interested in the long term cost saving benefits and design firms promote sustainability as an instrumental tool for design, marketing and internal philosophies.
