Green Firm Certification Goes National at Greenbuild 2010
11/16/2010

"Today’s leading design and construction firms are fighting a battle for survival to differentiate their sustainability services and to be a part of the climate solution. The McGraw Hill Green Outlook 2011 report states: “Once an emerging trend or a niche sector, green building has become a significant part of today's construction industry and is expected to keep growing.” In addition, the building industry is responsible for nearly half of U.S. CO2 emissions and this number is only expected to rise (EIA, USGBC). This results in an enormous market opportunity for leaders in the building industry. Yet according to our 2010 Green Firm Report, there is a significant disparity between most companies’ marketing claims and their true capability to deliver sustainability services."
