Green Building Myths Revisited

10.

Green Buildings are a passing fad

9. Green Materials are $$ and hard to find

8. Construction Waste Management is a Waste of time

7. Green Buildings is the Architects Responsibility

6. Green Buildings look WEIRD5. Green Building Information is hard to find

4. Just adopt the principals of LEED

There is no value in going through

the bother and cost of certification

3. Green Buildings take longer to design and construct2. Green Buildings Cost More

1. Green Buildings Dont Work
