"Architects are becoming more educated about energy-saving strategies and are going for "code" ratings of 25 percent and higher, over the usual 10 to 20 percent. The industry is moving away from relying solely on the engineer to specify equipment higher in efficiency and architects are committing themselves to understanding HVAC systems, building orientations and on coordinating more closely with MEP engineers."
Allan Kehrt, managing partner of KSS Architects
"We will begin to see it becoming more mainstream in every aspect of the building industry. Industry professionals will begin to ensure that the idea of green development is approached in a rigorous and consistent way so that it continues to have meaning and that the impact on the environment is tangible."
Marlon Haniff, principal of the Essex Redevelopment Group, LLC
"Municipalities need to embrace new and innovative green concepts presented by builders. Implementation should not be a painful process. There is so much we can learn from our neighbors across the pond in Europe."
