How Green Is Your Building?

(Well, green is a great concept that seems to be stuck inthe concept stage, at least according to last week's Feedback Poll.Only 20% of our respondents rank their building on the cutting edgeof green, and only a few more (27%) would even call their buildingso-so. A sad, apparently breathless, majority of 53% said they were"suffocating" in their current digs. And none of it comes as asurprise to commentator O'Brien.-ed.)

Most people will think that their buildings are not very greenat all. They'd say building owners are making some changes andtalking about potential changes, but looking at the things beingdone on the front end--such as recycling, and certainly greencleaning-- green is not the first initiative to be embraced. Eventhough it's very important to indoor environmental quality, it'salso more expensive. That's hard to justify in such a competitivemarketplace. In fact, even I would rate my building as a non-greenbuilding.
