What Makes a Building Green?
A green building, also known as a sustainable building, is a structure
that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological
and resource-efficient manner. Green buildings are designed to meet
certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee
productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently;
and reducing the overall impact to the environment.
What Are the Economic Benefits of Green Buildings?
A green building may cost more up front, but saves through lower
operating costs over the life of the building. The green building
approach applies a project life cycle cost analysis for determining
the appropriate up-front expenditure. This analytical method
calculates costs over the useful life of the asset.
These and other cost savings can only be fully realized when they
are incorporated at the project's conceptual design phase with the
assistance of an integrated team of professionals. The integrated
systems approach ensures that the building is designed as one system
rather than a collection of stand-alone systems.
