Green Building
When we think of “green building,” we often focus on the structure’s energy source and imagine a building that utilizes solar panels or perhaps wind turbines. But true green building goes much deeper than that. It utilizes processes that are resource efficient to create structures that are themselves environmentally responsible. Green building practices span the entire life cycle of a structure, from its siting, design, and construction, to maintenance, renovation, and demolition. Any type of building can be a green building, including homes, schools, offices, commercial space, and healthcare facilities.
