Sustainable projects address issues of the environment, energy use and people, in addition to traditional project goals of cost,
quality and schedule.
The built environment has an impact on the natural environment, human health, and the economy. By adopting
green building strategies, the impact on the environmental
can be reduced by:
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental
degradation
Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction.The benefits of green building include reduced operating costs and improved occupant productivity by enhancing occupant comfort and health.
