It’s not easy being green — and affordable — in Boston

The Boston Globe reports:

Some have forgone traditional roofing materials in favor of gardens and solar panels. Some boast of windows perfectly aligned to capture all the day’s sunshine and reduce the need for heating and lighting. And some have wrapped decades-old, draft-inducing facades with layers of airtight insulation.

Boston, which led the nation a decade ago in the adoption of green building standards and still does, is in the midst of a push to extend the practice deep into the housing supply.
