    Reid, Green Building isn't necessarily any more expensive than traditional building when you factor in all of the costs versus the savings. For instance, if you pay more to install a high efficiency heating and air conditioning system that saves you operating costs is that an added cost? Even investing in less tangible green building techniques and technologies such as air quality and green roofs can have payoffs in worker productivity, employee retention, and employee satisfaction. Last, we spend lots of money everyday on things like granite and Italian marble with no consideration for payback. What is the payback for a clean atmosphere and healthy planet to leave to our children? Best, Everblue
