Is Green Building over-rated? Does the "green premium really exist in the midwest?
How much does it cost to build to a LEED Green building standard? Does it really save money in today's economy?
It depends how muchh extra you spend to go green. Experienced construction firms may not have to spend anything
extra compared to high-quality conventional construction. A well designed, constructed and commissioned building is
bound to perform well. And the postivie publicity for going green is invaluable - just ask the folks at the first Green
auto dealership in Highland, Michigan. As energy costs go up, the benefits and the payback period for any added expense
will just get better.
