A recent McGraw-Hill Construction/National Association for Home Builders survey says that, by 2010, the value of the residential green building marketplace is expected to boost its market share to $19 billion-$38 billion and 5-10 percent of residential construction activity. That’s quite an increase from 2005, when green building had a market share of $7.4 billion and only 2 percent of housing starts.
