Green Building History

The Green Building website has a handy timeline of green building.  It is enlightening to see how long ago the architectural profession began considering sustainability and energy:  in 1973 the American Institute of Architects formed the AIA Committee on Energy.  We're still catching up.  Also check out Green Remodeling which  "discusses simple green renovation solutions for homeowners, focusing on key aspects of the building including foundations, framing, plumbing, windows, heating and finishes."
