"Ten Green Building MegaTrends for 2012"
|
Jerry says "Green building will continue its rebound globally in 2012 in spite of ongoing economic difficulties in most developed economies. What we're seeing is that more people are building green each year, and there is nothing on the horizon that will stop this MegaTrend or its components. However, in 2010 and 2011, the continuing slowdown in commercial real estate and the end of recovery funding put a crimp in new green building projects." You will hear about new opportunities for builders, architects and everyone involved in this growing market.
