The Ground is Prepared of the Growth of Green

摘要

Like an acorn that grows into a mighty oak, sustainable design is putting down roots in the construction industry and ultimately will be a powerful force for project owners, designers, contractors, product manufacturers and the people who ultimately use the structures. In the end, everyone will benefit. As the practices, products and standards mature, green construction will move beyond hype and hoopla and become imbedded in the industry (see p. 116).
