What is Green Building?

Building_Green_GlassGreen Building is a collection of design, construction, and operation practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative environmental impact of development on the environment and occupants through addressing such issues as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, waste reduction and occupant productivity and health.  Building green requires an integrated design approach that looks at all components of the building project and evaluates the interrelationships among the building, its specific components, its surroundings, and its occupants.
