Build Green

Green building, also known as a sustainable building, is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner.
Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives including:

• protecting occupant health;
• improving employee productivity;
• using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently;
• reducing the overall impact to the environment.
