I had an interesting conversation while waiting for Robert Murray's presentation on the construction outlook. A senior associate from one of the leading architectural firms pointed out that the concept of integrating sustainable design into a plan has, until now, been initiated largely by the designer/architect. One client of theirs, a box store, required a payback of three years or less, and that's what's held them back. Tough, I would imagine. But he sees the trend quickly changing to demand-driven. In other words, retailers and property owners of commercial properties are seeing the advantages to sustainable design. I'm interested in what others have to say...

Again, perspective on which problem to solve seems to be important.
