Green/Sustainable Construction
Green buildings are designed, constructed, and operated to boost environmental, economic, health, and productivity performance over that of conventional building. An integrated design approach addresses the potential of the site itself, water conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy, selection of materials, and indoor environmental quality. Green projects can include a wide array of features such as stormwater retention through landscaping, innovative wastewater technologies, reflective roofs, energy generating sources, personal comfort controls, certified woods, low-emitting materials, and advanced monitoring systems to assure that the building meets design objectives.
A green building approach also embraces not just how we build but also where we build, taking into consideration site selection, development density, transportation, and other factors that contribute to smart growth. This intersection between the building itself and smart growth is a field attracting more attention in the industry today.
