		<description><![CDATA[With so many moving parts, adaptive reuse projects frequently take longer to get off the ground and they involve unforeseen challenges—but the results can be more interesting than those found in new construction. “We [also] think that redeveloping historic buildings is an inherently green strategy,” says Bruce Becker,AIA, AICP, President of Becker + Becker, whose Fairfield, Ct-based firm developed, designed and planned The Octagon, a high-profile adaptive reuse project in New York.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many, the environmental movement is about recycling, solar panels, and hybrid cars. Even we in the industry can get distracted by the technological whiz-bangery of the latest wind turbine, composite material, and waterless urinal. It's easy to overlook what will be the most pervasive aspect of sustainability in the coming years: the green collar job market.

		<description><![CDATA[The United States can learn a few lessons in energy-efficient buildings and green jobs from Europe and Australia, according to a new study by the Rand Corporation.
