Green Building is
a rapidly growing trend in the world wide construction industry
emphasizing thoughtful designs to address the impact building
has on the environment. According to the US Green Building Council,
buildings in the United States account for 65% of all energy consumption,
30% of all greenhouse gas emissions and 30% of all raw materials
use annually.
As awareness of these impacts has grown, green building has
become a driving force in the industry. Its goals are diverse.
They cover environmental issues such as reducing solid waste in
construction, economic issues such as reduction of operating costs
and community issues such as air quality.
