At first glance it would appear that marketability and sustainability are mutually exclusive. Even though sustainable building practices have been increasing yearly, 30 percent in 2006, this accounts for only 2 percent of the total residences and commercial buildings built in the United States (McGraw-Hill 4). This investigation seeks to identify ways to create economical housing alternatives that combine sustainability and marketability. By analyzing precedents, comparisons will be brought between the exemplars and the status quo, and how each of these addresses or fails to address marketable and sustainable design. From this analysis an appealing and competitive housing alternative will be devised that also conserves for future generations. 2008-08-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212155984 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212155984 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
