The term “green building” refers to designing, constructing and operating buildings and landscapes to incorporate energy efficiency, water conservation, waste minimization, pollution prevention, resource-efficient materials, and indoor environmental quality in all phases of a building’s life. These practices not only conserve valuable natural resources, they also provide economic and health benefits to building owners, occupants, and the community at large.
