What is Green Building?
Green or sustainable building creates healthier and more
efficient construction, renovation, operation, maintenance
and demolition. The goal of green building is to reduce the
impact of a building on the environment over the lifetime
of that building. The most important ways in which green buildings
meet this goal are:
- Improving energy efficiency
- Minimizing the building’s environmental impact
- Improving indoor air quality
- Recognizing the relationship between the building and
the surrounding community
