Los Angeles, CA, June 8, 2006-- McGraw-Hill Construction today launched a new magazine dedicated to the growing market for environmentally- responsible "green" buildings. GreenSource,
The Magazine of Sustainable Design will present news, features, case studies of important projects, and green product information to more than 40,000 architects, interior designers, building owners, and members of the U.S. Green Building Council.
McGraw-Hill Construction editors will collaborate on GreenSource and the related web site with editors from BuildingGreen, Inc.,-- an information company that provides accurate, unbiased green product information and policy analysis for building industry professionals and policy makers. BuildingGreen editors will assist with editorial content, green product information, and web-specific content on www.greensource.construction.com. BuildingGreen publishes Environmental Building News, GreenSpec® Directory, which contains more than 2,000 green building products, and Green Building Products.
"The commercial green building market is expected to become a $10 to $20 billion industry within the next 5 years. Adding residential green construction brings the potential market up to $60 billion by 2010. Building professionals have a growing need for more information on green building products and projects, and building owners have a need to connect with architects, designers and builders who can help them build environmentally responsible buildings," said James H. McGraw, IV, group publisher, McGraw-Hill Construction. "Together with the credibility and resources of BuildingGreen, we can produce a magazine and online resources which will set the standard as the premier information source for the green building market."
