Looking ahead to the next 50 years, being green will not only get easier, it
will be all that we know. Regardless of how one might feel about predictions of
climate change and global warming, one prediction is certain: Sustainable homes
and buildings are the present and the future, just one of 50 green building
trends we expect to see before Supply House Times celebrates
its 100th birthday in 2058.
It’s not a fad and it’s not going away. The business and investment
opportunities, coupled with healthier living and a healthier planet, will only
grow. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports that sustainable
homes will represent 5-10% of all housing starts by 2010.
