March 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Recently, Jerry Yudelson just posted a new article about Green Building Trends for 2011 on his blog. His predicted trends signify vastly growth in green market and why it becomes potentially efficiency while other in the same industry is struggling in this economic recession.

Jerry, one of the influential heading green building experts of the United States Green Building Council, predicts that this year market in green buildings will be expanding
dramatically and will be projected to double its size in the future. “What we’re seeing is that more people are going green each year, and there is nothing on the horizon
that will stop this trend”, said Jerry. Following are his top ten green building trends supporting why green buildings will be the answer for the future.

1. The continue movements in global cooperation for better energy efficiency solution have been increased. Green discussions have been seriously taken among builders, developers, governments, consumers and policymakers.

2. In the United States, green market will continue rising with the support of President Obama in attempt to make American’s commercial buildings more energy started from upgrade of offices, stores, schools, hospitals and etc.

3. According to LEED project registrations, the measurement shows Green Building will be rebound in 2011 after a slowdown from 2010.

4. Retrofits in existing buildings will be highly accelerated.

5. The urgent need to focus on fresh water shortage will increase more use and development in Blue water for sustainability.

6. Zero-net-energy buildings are beginning to take shape and get specific.

7. Performance Disclosure for the past years performances will show Green as the fastest growing in the market and create more creditability.

8. With the rapid growing in Green market, schools and colleges add green certificates and courses in their curriculums in response for this movement.

9. Local and state governments will make mandatory for green buildings both public and private sector.

10. The use of solar and wind power will be continually developed and grow as replaceable sources of energy, yet, still are under development.

With the growing concern over limited natural resources, energy and cost efficiency, low waste, toxic reduction and sustainability, Jerry’s prediction for future green market would be highly countable. However, instead of finding new sources of energy to be use, the most important thing is to promote understanding among us as natural consumers. How to use, reduce using it and give something back to nature should be also considerable. Protecting nature can be a profitable corporate priority and a smart global business strategy for all.
