Raising Industry Standard
by pearlgirl
Here's a an interesting idea: raise industry standard for Portland developers! In an effort to spur green building practices, the city council will consider implementing a feebate system—basically penalizing those who fail to meet industry standard.
Doug Shapiro, Vice President of Construction at Hoyt Street Properties, says "“If we can’t exceed the minimum standards (of green building), then we’re not putting out a good product.”
I think exceeding minimum standards is a GREAT goal—what do you think?
