"It is accessible to a market of 7 million people within 100 miles and recently received land use approval from Osceola County and the State Department of Community Affairs and is now in the design process."
According to developer Dan Shalloway, the decision to go green with the project's design was a logical one.
"While I am a true believer that green building is needed to sustain our country, it also makes economic sense," Mr. Shalloway said. "Sophisticated companies understand that the energy savings an
d safe environment offered by a green building provide a competitive advantage."
Part of this economic advantage, added Brian Dugas, director for the Renewable Energy Institute of Florida, is the savings involved in
providing a healthy work environment for employees. He said the certification process looks at ventilation, volatile organic compounds in paint and carpets, lighting and thermal comfort.
"A well designed green building contributes to employee health and productivity which just happens to be good for the bottom line," Mr. Dugas said.
