What are Green Buildings?
What are Green Buildings?
• Green buildings are…
  • Buildings or homes that are more energy efficient, produce less
    waste and are healthier to be inside

• Green buildings don’t literally mean…
  • Buildings that produce zero-emissions or totally green or totally
    environmentally friendly

• Green building certification systems
  • Certification systems by different organizations/institutions that
    setup standards to quantify how ‘green’ a building is
  • Different standards world wide, but similar in concept

carbon footprint anyway?

    • 72% electricity consumption*
    • 39% CO2 emissions*
    • 13.6% potable water consumption**

Other benefits
 • Green building occupants are
   healthier and more productive
      • In the U.S., people spend, on average,
        90% or more of their time indoors*
      • Green buildings typically have better
        indoor air quality and lighting

Editor's Notes

  1. As a result of the increased interest in green building concepts and practices, a number of organizations have developed standards, codes and rating systems that let government regulators, building professionals and consumers embrace green building with confidence. In some cases, codes are written so local governments can adopt them as bylaws to reduce the local environmental impact of buildings.
