Summary/Abstract:
Green building programs traditionally have focused on improving building performance while mitigating the negative environmental impacts of the built environment. They include measures to lower energy and water consumption, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimize the amount of solid waste and construction debris that ends up in landfills. Green building programs typically specify environmentally-friendly materials, and address the design and development of a project, as well as its subsequent operations and on-going maintenance.
