Today we as human beings have managed to destroy a good part of our planed. We have outlived our stay under the earth’s atmosphere and in many ways have made existence and evolution of the earth impossible. The way things are going are not the way they should because if they do we will find ourselves in trouble we won’t be able to get ourselves out of. The LEED Green Associate is dedicated to teaching and helping people save our planet.
When you look at green technology it gives you all the convinces of regular technology minus the harm it does to the planet. However a couple of decades back green technology was considered impractical because it was too expensive to implement. This in turn slowed down the momentum of green technology.
As of a few years from now businesses and the government have begun to realize that the cost of green technologies is not much compared to what it was many years from now. People have also realized that green technology has a lot of potential and savings.
The biggest boost by the government to green technologies was given when president Obama in early 2009 announced an increase in green technology investments. The package is designed and set forth with the potential of creating 3. 5 million jobs in the green sector over the next two years. However even though the public sector is gaining momentum the private sector is still not sure.
However the private sector’s reasoning behind green technologies is not totally unfounded. In the beginning green technology was expensive and difficult to implement, this meant that many small businesses just stopped thinking about them. They didn’t want to invest in something in which the return was so low while the investment was very high. However in recent years the demand for green technology has meant that there has been a steady decline in the cost.
The National Association of Realtors have reported that the cots related to sustainable and green construction technology has decreased to quite an extent. In the most recent estimates green construction will cost around 1-1. 5% higher than normal construction costs. However if you look at the energy savings it stands at around a 25% savings average.
What LEED Green Associate really does is it educates people about various green technologies and their implementation. Keeping in mind that the future of our technology in coming years is almost exclusively going to be green, people need to be trained to speed up the process. What used to be thought of as an expensive exercise is now considered a slightly expensive alternative to conventional technology.
Practically thinking about implementing green technologies goes without saying that there is a lot of money to be made and saved in this sector. However education is the key towards progress green technologies. Its save to say that we are going to see the implementation of many new green technologies in the not to distant future.
