This article presents an overview of the City of San Diego`s Ridgehaven Green Building Demonstration Project. While there is no formal definition of green building, the term implies a structure that is friendlier to its occupants and to the environment and is more resource efficient. What this meant for this project will be brought out in the following discussion. The purpose of this article is to show the numerous successes at Ridgehaven, to provide others with insights on how to approach a green renovation project, and to present some of the difficulties that can be encountered.
