Green Wednesday 2006.1206

Wed Dec 6 15:50:50 PST 2006

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Green Wednesday, by the editors of ArchitectureWeek, brings you
weekly news on green design and building from around the world.

There are quite a few nuggets of interesting info to be found
throughout this week's stories, in addition to a particular focus
on environmentalism in mainstream business:

	"We'll see a swell of demand for sustainability in the near
	future that we don't see today," predicted panelist Stephen
	D. Lane, executive vice president of Citigroup Realty
	Services, addressing an audience of real estate executives
	during the panel discussion "Sustainable Real Estate
	Practices and the Global Corporation." For its part, he
	said, the financial services giant is awaking not only to
	the environmental benefits of sustainable real estate
	practices among its sprawling portfolio, but also to the
	concurrent business opportunities that sustainability
	presents."
	-- The Slatin Report
