			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Green&#8221; and &#8220;sustainability&#8221; have become household words. These practices are great for the Earth, they improve one&#8217;s quality of life and they can generate measurable business results. With this increased awareness, architects and designers have seen a growing number of clients requesting green services. The question we need to ask is to what level of green our clients can commit.</p>
<p>Although it is generally agreed upon that green building is an important practice, it is crucial that this new design trend is properly understood. There are a number of options a facility owner can select when designing and building an environmentally conscious facility.</p>
<p>Tom Tedrow, Vice President of Design and Construction Services at IBT, delves more into the issue of green design and building in a North American Design article available for <a href="http://www.ibtenterprises.com/wp-content/uploads/IBT_North_American_Design.pdf">download here</a>.</p>
