Green Building incorporates principles of sustainable development – meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future.
Green building:
- has design, construction and operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate its negative impact on the environment and its occupants.
- promotes efficiency – it can reduce construction and ongoing performance costs significantly.
- uses resources effectively and creates healthier environments for people to live and work in.
