The built environment has a vast impact on the environment, human health, and the economy. By adopting green building strategies, we can maximize both economic and environmental performance. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design and construction team takes an integrated approach from the earliest stages of a building project. Potential benefits of green building can include:
Environmental Benefits
Enhance and protect bio diversity and ecosystems
Improve air and water quality
Reduce waste streams
Conserve and restore natural resource
Economic Benefits
Reduce operating costs
Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services
