Original Green Scorecard - Building Module

Some of the credits below are actually categories of credits, containing several credits within them. If you are familiar with Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language, you may notice several credits below which originated with his work. So the Building module isn't just a green rating system; it is also a sustainable design checklist and also a stealth pattern language calibrated to the region. We'll see later where the Neighborhood module is also a business plan.
