Description

INTRODUCTION CRITICAL THINKING ABOUT THE LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT issues related to green buildings is in its relative infancy. With the sustainable development revolution upon us and a general consensus that it is here to stay, attorneys for owners, architects, contractors, lenders and the like are beginning to identify how designing, building, certifying and marketing green buildings could subject the various project participants to liability as well as how to protect their clients accordingly. There are an astounding number of players in the sustainability arena sporting green blinders and operating under the premise that green buildings are better buildings, therefore eliminating or reducing the risks in designing, constructing and delivering certified green buildings to the marketplace. Those of us currently counseling clients undertaking green building projects and pursuing third-party certification find such a premise not only untrue but also irresponsible. When you combine new building systems and technologies, inexperienced players throughout the development chain, and the relentless pursuit of a third-party green building certification with exploitation of its attendant marketing benefits, the result is a perfect recipe for potential legal exposure.
