What is Green Building?

Sustainable Construction or Green Buildings define the ways in which science, governments and construction professionals collaborate to make less of a negative impact on the environment. It uses renewable sources of energy, and promotes biodiversity and recycled local materials that cost less to transport and help curb CO2 emissions. Its biggest task is building ‘Management Systems’ that help to optimize the value of a structure throughout its life-cycle; from site selection, design, construction, operation, and maintenance, to renovation and demolition.

Global Sustainability Goals have led to the development of Green Building Movement (i.e.) development of Green Building Rating system in various parts of the world.

Green Building in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates the negative impacts and create positive impacts on climate change and natural resources and improve our quality of life.
