A quick tip of the cap to Green building, a great and laudable project, and our friend Paul Eldrenkamp of Byggmeister, quoted here.

From the article referenced:

"For the moment, (green building) appeals more to the crusader who has some resources than to the average person, but there are more and more people who instead of going for the luxury kitchen or the master suite addition are more inclined to put that money into a deep energy reduction,'' Eldrenkamp said. "Partly because, to be honest, in 20 years that luxury kitchen is going to look like a 20-year-old kitchen. But that insulation is going to look like gold.''

How does green painting fit into what Paul is talking about?  Great question.  Easy answer: as component to a responsible design build, as seamlessly as possible.  As Nigel writes here, "Investing in a thorough, preparation-focused house painting protocol will yield the best and most durable results."  In spirit, a lot like Paul.  We like Byggmeister quite a bit here at Catchlight, after all.
