“ Chris-Thank you for this analysis-I think perhaps, you may have over-stated this problem.I would suggest that as the DOD green building process gets more traction, more standards will appear and have commonality. COTS (commercial off the shelf) is a term seen more and more in contracting. This can mean, for example that DOD's "Green Certfied" can include products and methods already out ...”

“I don't think you can extend the attitudes of a few Marin NIMBYs to the Bay Area as a whole.
