Green building has been a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster year, according to non-profit Earth Advantage, which works with builders and developers in the US Northwest to bring energy efficient and healthy homes to the market.
The group recently released a list of 10 Green Building Trends to Watch in 2010. These include:
- The smart grid and connected home
- Energy labeling for homes and office buildings
- Building information modeling (BIM) software
- Buy-in to green building by the financial community
- “Rightsizing” of homes
- Eco-districts
- Water conservation
- Carbon Calculation
- Net Zero Buildings
- Sustainable building education
To read brief explanations of each of these trends, open the pdf at the link below.
