What is Green Building?
Green building is the practice of:
increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use and
harvest energy, water, and materials, and
reducing building impacts on human health and the environment,
through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal — the
complete building life cycle. [1] (http://www.ofee.gov/sb/fgb.html)
Green building is an essential component of the related concepts of sustainable
design, sustainable development and sustainability.
