Abstract
Today the phrases “sustainable development” and “green
buildings” are too often used as synonyms in the United States.
And while green building technology can be an important
contributor to a comprehensive sustainability strategy, it is far
from the only element. On an international level the broader
concept of sustainable development includes not just
environmental responsibility, but also economic and
social/cultural responsibility. The rehabilitation and reuse of
the historic built environment is perhaps the singular strategy
that simultaneously advances all three of the responsibilities of
sustainable development.
