What's inside...

Photo by Eckert & Eckert Mithun designed the nation’s first retail store to earn a LEED gold rating — a 37,500-square-foot REI in Portland’s Pearl District. Howard S. Wright Construction Co. completed the $1 million project last year.

This issue of Building Green has its eye on another kind of green, with stories about cutting lighting costs and fitting green elements into your building budget.

We also look at better ways to market green-built homes in Seattle, and how the city can promote green building around the world.

Take a look at how sustainable design is showing up in hospitals, schools and multi-family developments.

And, finally, we show you ways to proudly go green without showing off.
