He obviously sent his checklist to the wrong architects. He should have sent one to Bonstra/Haresign!

Hi,

I'm a co-founder of a new site trying to address this issue by helping renters find green buildings and encouraging owners to go green: http://www.greenrenter.com.

We're just coming to the Washington, D.C. area and would love suggestions for owners and renters about what buildings to list.

If you're looking for a place, check us out too!

Many times the historic district requirements conflict with "going green" because the cost of retaining historic elements is very high when combined with new, high-tech non-historic non-traditional materials. I am an owner/operator who rents out several apartments. "Going Green" sounds very nice, except when it will cost an extra five cents in rent increases, then forget it, prospective tenants will go elsewhere.
