Abstract Details

2007, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Green building is a term used to define smart building techniques that when applied in a holistic approach conserves natural resources, uses energy wisely, improves indoor air quality and human health through the use of smarter building materials, reduces the impact of the built environment on the natural environment, and increases opportunities available for future generations. The green building movement has arisen out of the realization that as a global society we need to rethink the way we build our cities, towns and houses. This thesis documents constraints facing green building in Hamilton County’s housing market. The research study sets out to establish the constraints through interviews with participants from four key building industry stakeholder groups. The four groups include: financial lenders, city/county officials, developers/home builders, and professionals (architects). As part of this analysis these constraints are also compared to green building industry challenges on a national level.
