What Is Green Building?
It's a concept with quite the buzz. Everyone is talking about it--from Wired magazine, to Elle, to Vanity Fair. It's a topic so popular, that a Google search yields over 8 million hits.
It's how YOU can make a difference in the future of your family, your city, your planet. And it's a great way to think globally and act locally.
It Adds Value to Your Project
Green building can save money on utility bills, decrease maintenance costs, and help protect the value of your real estate investment. It also enhances the health and well-being of your family or office staff by creating indoor environments with better air quality and daylighting.
Not only that, but green building is good for the environment, too! It can help minimize waste, preserve natural resources, protect forests, wildlife, air and water quality. And it can help create better neighborhoods, a thriving local economy, and a better quality of life for all.

Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan predicts annual construction growth through 2009 will include over 13 million square feet of residential (single and multifamily) construction, and over 5 million square feet of commercial and industrial construction.
With Seattle’s position as one of the nation’s leaders in green building, opportunities to go green abound.
