Like anything, this paradigm shift will have to be driven by the almighty dollar. As long as it financially viable to not go green, builders and building owners will continue in their old ways. Take the US automakers’ moronic reluctance to get into the hybrid/electric car market as an example of what is happening to green building.
Sure, there are some progressive contractors and building owners out there who are taking matters into their own hands, but until the government assigns meaningful subsidies and incentives for going green, the construction world at large will continue to drag its feet.
