Description
Green building is a whole systems approach to the design, construction, and operation of buildings – from the early stages of development through the final finishes in the home. This approach benefits both builders and homeowners by reducing resource consumption and improving livability. Green building benefits are spread throughout the systems and features of the home. Green buildings use recycled-content building materials, consume less energy and water, have better indoor air quality, and use less wood fiber than conventional homes. Green homes reduce potentially carcinogenic volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde from the interior and construction waste is often recycled and remanufactured into other building products. Building green is good for both the economy and the environment. By applying a sustainable perspective to design, construction and remodeling, green building brings the benefits of resource conservation, energy savings and healthy living. All relevant for a Construction Contractor.
