The residential green construction market is estimated at $12 to $20 billion and expected to double over the next five years. GREEN MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR covers such topics as Green Plumbing, Hydronics, Solar, Green Buildings, Geothermal Systems and more. Case studies and profiles illustrate cutting edge projects and how they reduce a building's energy consumption and minimize carbon footprints. Residential and commercial projects are featured, plus strong advice on how contractors can quickly adapt and profit from doing business the 'green' way.
