LOCAL AND STATE RESOURCES

To begin construction of a green building , green architects and landscape architects must be contacted. Several questions regarding construction are:

· Have they constructed past green building projects?

· What makes their architecture green?

· What certifications do they have, what standards do they meet?

· Are their current suppliers green?

· Are they totally committed to their current suppliers? OR

Can they use green suppliers that we recommend?
