Interesting point Yahya — part of the conversation here on the green v. sustainable thread, and also amongst the comments on the recent blog post on our page (found here if you are interested http://bit.ly/24EzTn) is on this very topic of loose terms with unshared definitions.

The more technical folks and us lawyer would likely prefer specificity: “the project will achieve x% increase of Y”. Moving the masses may be a very different equation though as enthusiasm and momentum probably drive crowd behavior and there is no doubt that the amorphous “green” push has gained energy and drive in the last couple years.

Added new thought – it is quite exciting to contemplate that we are all part of the conversation to help mold and shape those shared definitions. I like the specificity for purposes of risk management and clarity, but there is without question a headiness to watching the eruption of interest in green building, sustainability, improved energy efficiency … all critical issues that have seemed to languish but have caught a tailwind of late.
