This month my extra blog will be about a quote that was said by Robert Watson, a senior scientist with the New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council, who advises the Chinese government on green construction. I came across this quote in an article about China and its attempt to build more efficient and more common eco-friendly/"green" buildings.
The quote that Robert Watson said and emphasizes is, "“Green doesn't cost more; ‘new’ costs more, and this is still very new here.
This quote could not be more correct because on average a "green" building can be more expense by about 2-5% an an ordinary building. This increase in the price is not necessarily because it is a "green" building but because the technology with creating "green" buildings is still new and it has not been perfected yet. Once the process of creating "green" buildings is more efficient and effective we may see that the "regular" buildings may be more expensive to build.
