Real Results in Sustainable Real Estate
In the residential housing market, "green" or "sustainable" homes use energy, water, and building materials much more efficiently than structures simply built to code. The same holds true for commercial buildings and industrial properties, where despite the ongoing pressure to minimize costs in an uncertain economy, this remains a very good time for companies to improve the environment while improving their bottom lines.
... "There's also a whole segment of comsumers and businesses concerned about their impact on the environment and are willing to pay for sustainable products and projects. We see a huge market opportunity for sustainable ideas - that's why we're all about moving new technologies from the UA Tech Park laboratory to the marketplace." says Bruce A. Wright, associate vice president for university research parks, University of Arizona.
