why green

Buildings are responsible for:

76% of total U.S. electricity consumption

>60% of total U.S. primary energy use

30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions

136 million tons of construction & demolition waste in U.S. [approx. 2.8 lbs/person/day]

12% of potable water in U.S.

40% [3 billion tons annually] of raw material use globally

*commercial and residential

why green

What is Sustainable Design ?Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants in five broad areas:

:: Sustainable site planning :: Safeguarding water and water efficiency :: Energy efficiency and renewable energy:: Conservation of materials and resources:: Indoor environmental quality

Benefits of Green BuildingsEnvironmental Benefits:: Reduce the impacts of natural resource consumption

Economic Benefits:: Reduce Operating Costs

Health and Safety Benefits :: Enhance occupant comfort and health

Community Benefits:: Improve quality of educational experience

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) - internationally recognized green building certification system,  providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most:

energy savingswater efficiency CO2 emissions reductionimproved indoor environmental qualitystewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts

Developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

LEED is flexible enough to apply to all building types – commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle – design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fit-out, and significant retrofit. And LEED for Neighborhood Development extends the benefits of LEED beyond the building footprint into the neighborhood it serves.
