Based on a five-city tour of top news-making green initiatives around the nation, The BUILDING GREEN — DVD provides a powerful and informative introduction to the rationale, planning, and implementation involved in green design. The DVD highlights a variety of exciting projects, in varying stages of completion, in cities such as Chicago, IL, Scottsdale, AZ, Rohnert Park, CA, Seattle, WA, and Aspen, CO. Interviews were conducted with city managers, builders, and other key players in the projects to gain insight into key processes and procedures. Their responses and end results were recorded and compiled to bring you this one-of-a-kind resource.
