Why Build Green?
In
the United States, buildings account for:
39% of total
energy use
12% of the total
water consumption
68% of total
electricity consumption
38% of the carbon
dioxide emissions
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
- Reduce and protect
biodiversity and ecosystems
-
Improve air and water quality
-
Reduce waste streams
-
Conserve and restore natural resources
Economic benefits
