ENVIRONMENT THIS WEEK
	GETTING GREEN PRODUCTS RIGHT Green project requirements can be found just about anywhere in the contract documents. This is also true for green building product requirements that are an important part of any green building project. Just like green project requirements, green building product requirements can be included in the contract documents either explicitly or implicitly.
