		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to everyone that made this LEED award happen for the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education, but especially congratulations to the person who first came up with the idea and pushed it forward. A magnificent achievement.

Another way to look at the question of going green is to ask yourself, “What it will cost you NOT to build green?” Is a zero to five percent premium yielding lower energy and maintenance costs over time worth it? Property owners electing to save a little bit of money now by ignoring available green options could be throwing away money for years to come, as well as decreasing the marketability and value of their property for future buyers.
