Green building technologies : should a developer implement photovoltaics, underfloor air distribution, and natural ventilation?
This thesis explores implications of green, or environmentally sensitive, development in the commercial real estate industry. Developers, as building owners, will respond to ideas that can improve their profits, not necessarily to an environmental call to arms. The ability to lease up a development …
