We all know design will do a lot of the work in making a building green, but technology is important, too. Over the past year, we've seen some interesting innovation in a broad category of articles we call building-related green technology. Solar innovation is hot, and small wind -- albeit heavily scrutinized -- is doing some things also. So, check out this retrospective on green technology in the built environment (click the text links for more images and information).
