GO GREEN!
What does
“Building Green”
Mean?
Green or
sustainable
building is the
practice of
creating
healthier and
more
resource-efficient
models of
construction,
renovation,
operation,
maintenance, and
demolition.
Research and
experience
increasingly
demonstrate that
when buildings
are designed and
operated with
their lifecycle
impacts in mind,
they can provide
great
environmental,
economic, and
social benefits.
