What Makes a Building Green?

Green design emphasizes on environmental, resource and occupant health concerns:

Conserve non-renewable energy and scarce materials.

Use renewable energy and materials that are sustainably harvested.

Reduce human exposure to noxious materials.

Minimize life-cycle ecological impact of energy and materials used.

Protect and restore local air, water, soils, flora and fauna.

Support pedestrians, bicycles, mass transit and other alternatives to fossil-fueled vehicles.

Most green buildings are high-quality buildings; they last longer, cost less to operate and maintain, and provide greater occupant satisfaction than standard developments.
