I'd like to know if there are any major firms that build with "the environment" in mind, I'd also like to know how profitable that would be.

When I say green, we all know what green is, it's better for the planet, but I doubt many Dominicans care about that, but there are other benefits to building green as well.

There are plenty of green buildings and homes being built or already built in the DR by local contractors and designed here as well.

The SD Metro is also green in many aspects too!

The Botanical Gardens have organized a short course on green building starting 27 June. Registration at the Botanical Gardens. I think if you attend that course you will find answers to most of your questions.

If you have a real interest, not just episodic curiosity, I can connect you with the guy where the bs stops, and there is a lot of bs in this aspect, the thread is full of it already. It's not because you put a few solar panels that you are a green building, like Orange is saying, but let's say it's better than nothing.

The only one talking BS is you, since it reeks that you have not a zilch of an idea why the Orange building is GREEN.

And no, the panels were added as compliment to a greener energy solution within the building interior and areas.

If you really want to speak with some substance on this one building alone, take the time and find out what made it the first Green building in the DR.
