Project Green AV - Product Share

Jim Sansivero, Senior Associate at CB Richard Ellis, recommends auditing your building plans for Green goals and cost savings. 

When considering a Green Building purchase, whether your are purchasing lighting, integration systems or structural supplies, evaluate the cost over the life of the product.  Compare initial purchase costs to the more frequent replacement costs for the less Green options.  Investigate the savings you will earn from lower energy bills and government rebates.

Going Green can mean lowering your costs in new construction and renovation projects as well as real estate acquisitions.
