What is the likely long-term effect of the relationship between an increasing drive toward green legislation at the state level and the specialization of construction efforts into green building practices? As states across the country adopt green regulations, green building practices will become less a specialization than simply the norm for construction businesses.

As states push green legislation into law, construction businesses will have to hire specialized teams to keep up with the changing regulatory climate.

As more states impose green legislation, construction businesses in highly-regulated states will face increasing costs as they are forced to specialize into green practices.

The more states adopt green regulations, the more of a necessity green building specialization becomes for construction businesses.
