Sustainable Building Construction has taken off in both Europe and the United States over the past five years. Despite the worldwide recession, growth is expected to outpace many other markets due to strong government involvement. National and local European Union governments are committing funds, establishing tax and policy initiatives and revising building codes - all of which creates demand for sustainable construction. High energy costs in Europe further strengthen business and consumer interest in Green Building Architects, builders, developers, and building products manufacturers are looking at old and new technologies to reduce the energy and environmental impact of commercial and residential construction.
