Inside the Minds is a publication series of Aspatore Books, a Thompson Reuters business. Navigating Green Construction and Energy Initiatives is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the strategic thinking behind implementing more sustainable building and energy practices throughout the United States.

Featuring state and municipal environmental and energy directors from across the country, this book provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the efforts being made to invest in renewable energy and green infrastructure, as well as the challenges of promoting green development, including educating communities, renovating older buildings, financing improvement programs, and offering incentives for adopting new practices. These leaders articulate the finer points of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System and address the benefits of and obstacles to meeting these standards. From achieving commercial and citizen buy-in for new policies to budgeting for projects today that will improve environment quality for tomorrow, the authors share their success stories and offer advice for continued improvement of energy conservation and efficiency efforts. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds in government today, as these experts reveal the secrets behind creating a greener nation.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
