What is green building? Depending on whom you ask, you’ll likely get a different response. As green building continues its growth in the construction industry, it will soon become a question property insurers will need to answer. ISO wants to give you information you need to prepare for the green building revolution.
We’ve developed a five-part series of articles about green building. The series begins with a high-level overview of the topic, “The Evolving Impact of Green Building,” written by Xactware president and CEO Jim Loveland. We follow that with in-depth looks into certain aspects of the growing trend, such as a review of new building techniques and materials, a discussion on the various green building certifications, and more.
