The Green Building Revolution
February 14, 2011In spite of the recent economic recession, there is one sector that seems to be flourishing. According to a new report by McGraw-Hill Construction (who tracks building industry trends), the U.S. green building market has expanded dramatically since 2008 and is expected to double its size by 2015. New green construction jumped from $42 billion in 2008 to $71 billion in 2010 and represents 25 percent of all new building activity.
