What does green building mean?
Green building may seem like a strange term, but what it boils down to is the use of sustainable and energy-efficient practices to build a structure. However, it doesn’t stop there. Successful green buildings have a lighter environmental footprint. In other words, green building design involves finding the perfect balance of homebuilding and a sustainable environment.
Green building is similar to a master-planned community in that every detail must be thought about and planned out before breaking ground.
What are the benefits of green building?
As one might expect, there are quite a few benefits. Ranging from, the obvious, environmental to, the less obvious like, economic and even social, green building practices provide many significant benefits. Here are just a few:
