What is Green Building?
Green building is an approach to building in which we
practice conserving our resources such as: water, energy,
and materials. This approach also sets out to eliminate
the building processes impact on human health and the
environment. Incorporating this approach into our design,
removal of construction debris, construction, insulation,
plumbing, heating, electrical, operation, maintenance,
and materials is what building green is all about.
