first green building on a
bucolic mountainside campus, this challenge is further intensified.

It is probably safe to say that most people would not advocate
deliberately damaging the
environment, especially if there is no advantage in doing so. But profit
and value also play a
role in many of the choices we have to make. If the design solutions we
advocate to help preserve
the natural world are not financially feasible, they are not likely to
be implemented. We have to
evaluate what our ideas will cost, both initially and in the long term,
as well as how well they
will work.
