Big News

All of us here at Build2Sustain are working hard to create a destination for the green building community to come and discuss the issues that matter most to them, in pursuit of best building practices that can be used throughout the industry.

We are a few steps closer to our goal this week with some big announcements.

Our White Paper

We are thrilled to announce the release of our first white paper, titled It's Time to Jump Into Sustainability. Please head here to download the paper. "Jump" is our succinct argument for why it makes sense for all commericial real estate owners as well as the small businesses that comprise the lion's share of the U.S. economy to make the leap and invest in sustainable renovations and retrofits for the spaces they own or are engaged in long-term lease. 

There are endless reasons why green building makes sense for the environment, and for the well being of our planet and it's people. However, that's not the argument we make in our paper. For us going green must bring not only sustainable energy solutions, but sustainable proft and real ROI. This paper outlines the case for sustainable retrofit and renovation with an eye toward what a business person is looking to achieve. We hope all of you take the time to read it and let us know what you think. Speaking of letting us know what you think....

Build2Sustain.com/discuss

Build2Sustain is committed to becoming a place where green building professionals share ideas and concepts in pursuit of better building practices. We believe  best practices can more quickly emerge when professionals share their ideas and experiences. That's why we've launched our discuss page. A corner of our site where readers can comment on subjects we raise, or raise their own topics. We look forward to growing this conversation and creating a vibrant community of big-thinking designers and building pros.

We've got a few more exciting rabbits to pull out of our hat throughout the week. Thanks for being a part of Build2Sustain. We look forward to building a community with you.
