Here is a link to a good article on green buildings with a short excerpt below:
"Going green is not just good for the environment, but can also make solid business sense," said Phil Ludvigsen, Director, Carbon Advisory Services, KPMG LLP. "Advantages include easier facility zoning and permitting, reduced tax burdens, and potentially lower insurance premiums.
