WHY Build Green
Green buildings incorporate practices that significantly reduce or
eliminate adverse environmental impacts. Green buildings increase the
efficient use of energy, environmental, and human resources. Improvements
in efficiency directly translate into economic benefits.
Using energy more efficiently reduces operating costs over the life of
the building, reduces the cost-per-unit on manufactured goods and
services, enhances resale and lease value of real estate, and extends
useful life of equipment.
Reducing environmental impacts decreases waste materials and disposal
costs, waste water and water usage costs, chemical use and disposal costs,
encourages recycling and reuse of materials, develops markets for locally
produced materials, saves on transportation costs, and reduces emissions.
Improving indoor environment produces healthier places to work and
increases productivity.
