Supported by organizations such as the U.S. Green Building Council and its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, both public and private entities are increasingly pursuing green buildings in the institutional, commercial, and residential sectors. While this progress is impressive, for a number of reasons it has not included significant numbers of affordable housing projects. These reasons, several of which are unique to affordable housing, include: an almost exclusive focus on "first costs," the existence of per unit cost caps, regulatory rigidity that limits green innovation, and a finance system that fails to recognize the long-term value of green investments.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43411 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43411 <p>The United States has almost 90 million residential structures. While few have been built in a sustainable manner, we are nevertheless beginning to see more interest in green or environmentally sustainable housing. Most discussions of sustainable housing focus on the environmental and economic aspects, overlooking the social dimension. Achieving sustainable housing requires a holistic framework, incorporating the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability in equal parts. Planners must help ensure that social equity is given equal attention during discussions of sustainable housing.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43392 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43392 <p>The U.S. Green Building Council's new rating system for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design in neighborhood development, known as LEED-ND, is coming under fire for not putting a greater emphasis on affordable housing.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43391 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43391 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43390 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43390 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40198 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40198 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40169 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40169 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40167 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40167 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40131 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40131 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40091 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/40091 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/project/40049 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/project/40049 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/39678 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/39678 <div class="imageholder"> <div class="centerimage" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/fisher/detail.html?id=FISHER_n2006040486" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.library.upenn.edu/images/urbstud/thumbs/n2006040486.jpg" alt="Church Street South Housing Project, 1972" /></a></div> <div class="photocaption"><a href="http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/fisher/detail.html?id=FISHER_n2006040486" target="_blank">Church Street South Housing Project, 1972</a></div> </div> <!-- end imageholder --> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/30654 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/30654 <div class="mlacite">University of Pennsylvania.
