Structures: California commends economy of 'green' buildings

Article Abstract:

An investment of $100,000 in green building design on a $5-million project would result in a savings of at least $1 million over the life of the building, assumed conservatively to be 20 years. Most studies of the financial costs and benefits of green construction have focused on individual projects rather than the practice as a whole.
