GREENER BUILDINGS & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
“In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.”
With all the development underway, there is tremendous opportunity for incorporating Green Buildings & Energy Efficiency across Jersey City - Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Municipal, Universities / Colleges, Schools and Hospitals.
There are emerging models for this right now in Jersey City and many more across the Region that we can all learn from. Check out what the US Green Building Council / NYC Chapter published just before the last Mayoral election across the Hudson - why can't we pick up this roadmap for Jersey City ?
