Green & Design - March/April 2009 - (Page 4)
editorial Welcome to Green & Design Sustainability is not a trend, it’s a movement, and one that is likely to effect massive change in our lives and in our world if it has not already begun to do so. There are those who bought in to the principles of green design early, intent on doing the right thing, and they largely have been credited with being the influential pioneers of sustainability. There are those who held back for concern over fiscal responsibility: Green design was too costly, or had too long of a payback time. These people are quickly learning that today the most pressing question surrounding sustainability may not be “How much will it cost to go green?” but rather, “How much will it cost not to?” Regardless of where you lie on the spectrum, between early adapter or late follower, everyone on the real estate, design, and construction team seems—finally— to be headed in the same direction. As sustainability becomes more elemental to the way we conduct business, the need for reliable information surrounding the complex choices and inexact science of green design is more pressing than ever. At Nielsen Business Media, we possess a unique opportunity to cover the issues from multiple perspectives on the building team through the collective lens of our sister publications Contract, Hospitality Design, Display & Design Ideas, Kitchen & Bath Business, Multi-Housing News, and Commercial Property News. Thus the introduction of Green & Design, a new information resource covering all the developments shaping the future of sustainability in commercial design and construction. Green & Design will leverage our group knowledge and expertise to deliver relevant content that equips members of the real estate design and construction community with the tools they need to build green more efficiently and profitably.
