This publication, produced by McGraw-Hill Construction (MHC), is an extremely useful introduction to the concepts and terminology of green construction in the U.S. It is exactly the publication MCERF would have designed for industry education if McGraw-Hill had not already done it. The Foundation partnered with MHC to make nearly 2,500 copies of the report available to members of the industry that McGraw- Hill would not have otherwise reached.

This report does an outstanding job of illuminating the current state of green building activity in the U.S. and serves as an excellent primer on green terms and concepts.
