Why Build Green?
Although the building market has edged lower over the last few years, the green building sector has continued to grow, regardless of the general market climate.
This recent surge in green building has created a new and robust market for design and building professionals, and those firms that understand and embrace this movement stand to profit in many ways:
- Increased revenues from both new and existing clients (who can be urged to green existing structures)
- New consultancy opportunities (LEED AP, high-efficiency energy or water systems experts, green product specialists, etc.), as green expertise is still in short supply at most professional firms
- Employee attraction and retention, as young designers are interested in green design and firms that practice those principles
- Recognition as a leader in your field
- A true point of differentiation, resulting in a distinct market advantage
