Green building is exploding. Up 30% since 2005, it’s a field expected to grow at an even greater pace in coming years, with 10% of all new construction going green by 2010. Add to that the media attention surrounding high-profile LEED certified buildings— along with the fact that 92 US cities now have green building programs in place—and a clear picture emerges.
