What is GREEN Building?

"Green building means applying new thinking to the way we build, remodel, renovate, and develop our residences and communities."

• In the United States, Green Buildings Save: 
  • 40% in water use
  • 30% in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
  • 50-75% of construction and demolition waste going to landfills
  • $58 billion of sick time annually
  • Green building adds $180 billion of increased worker productivity annually
