Green Building: Let’s Define it First…
When I was in San Fran at a the PCBC Green Conference in 2006, one of the speakers told us that "Green Building is like pornography. It's difficult to define, but you know it when you see it"... I like that idea - it's not a black and white topic. If you ask 10 people what they think it means, you may see some similarities, but you will get 10 different answers.
Carlisle Wide Plank Floor's definition: Green building applies to the process of incorporating sound environmental consideration into design, planning, and construction.
How would you define Green Building? I think we've all seen some oxymoronic green buildings - like the 6500 sf Green Home (maybe not the best short term use of raw materials and long term use of energy). What Green Building agendas do you think are non-negotiable?
