How to Create Green Building Marketing Communications

ChuckLohreGreen Building Marketing

Green Building products and services marketing communications are more educational and brand focused. The marketing cycle stages are the same: audience, investigation, comparison, negotiation, sales and follow up. The Green Building movement has a passion and an involvement which is shaping the industry. The people that are receptive to Green marketing believe that Green products and services are better than others. Consumers select the standard that they believe in: The U.S. Green Building Council, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with their product certifications, Department of Energy (DOE) with their Energy Star Certifications and many other organizations are being adopted as trusted brands by the public.

The New Green Cincinnati Plan Recommendations (1-17-13 DRAFT)

ChuckLohreCity of Cincinnati, Green Cincinnati Plan

Background

The Green Cincinnati Plan is a roadmap for how Cincinnati can become a national leader in addressing global climate change — and make Cincinnati a healthier place to live.

Cincinnati is one of more than 1,000 U.S. cities that has committed to reducing its contribution to global climate change. Fortunately, the more we learn about how to combat climate change, the more we realize that climate protection measures are mostly things that we have good reason to be doing anyway.

Climate protection measures can help conserve scarce natural resources, save money, enhance the local economy, improve air quality, create jobs and improve public health.

But, as with so many things, there is more than one way to do it, and whether climate protection helps or hurts our community depends on the paths we choose.
