Growing up in the 90's I never heard the word sustainability. Come to think of it, I had never heard of sustainability until my freshman year of college at Western Washington University. I was always familiar with conservation, recycling and pollution, but never used the term sustainability.

Yesterday, while at Savannah Technical College, President Obama shared more details for the "HOMESTAR" program.

This post will present a cost-benefit and economic analysis of building green.
