Written by Alex Beam
Appears in the Boston Globe Nov. 21 2008
In "'Green' Building and its Discontent" by Alex Beam, the current design and practice of so-called 'green' building is blatantly criticized. Throughout the article, Beam attacks specifically architects for their idea of 'green' construction. He opinionates everything from how 'green' buildings look to whether it was efficient in bringing materials to the job site. To end the article, Beam pokes fun at a recently published 'green' bible.

She also addresses some fairly unobvious benefits such as occupant performance and health which promotes higher productivity. In addition, Persram incorporates a small cost analysis for building these types of structures.
