This article states some of the cons of building green, while some aren’t really controversial, they are more like design flaws or considerations. I would like to quote the writer on how building green is similar to the cost of conventional construction. I’ll use this in persuading a party in building green. There was no information given on the author to make him reputable, and the only information validating the website is a mission statement in the “about us” link.
