Green Building Fundamentals and Best Practices:
Eliminating the Confusion and Helping You Make More Green
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is providing billions of dollars of funding for new construction projects, many of which must be built to green or energy efficiency standards. The Top 100 green contractors generated $38.69 billion in revenue in 2008 from projects which were certified or registered with third-party rating groups. This revenue was a 70% increase from the $22.76 billion in revenue generated by this group of contractors in 2007, and should further increase this year as a result of the aforementioned government spending.
If you are currently scared, confused, apprehensive, or intimidated by green building projects, then you and your company are missing a tremendous opportunity to add to your bottom line.
