    INTRODUCTI
    ON
    Green building (also known
    as green construction or
    sustainable building) refers
    to both a structure and the
    application of processes that
    are environmentally
    responsible and resource-
    efficient throughout a
    building's life-cycle: from
    planning to design,
    construction, operation,
    maintenance, renovation, and
    demolition. This requires
    close cooperation of the
    contractor, the architects, the
    engineers, and the client at
    all project stages. The Green
    Building practice expands
    and complements the
    classical building design
    concerns of economy, utility,
    ADVANTAGES
    Although new technologies are constantly being developed to
    complement current practices in creating greener structures, the
    common objective of green buildings is to reduce the overall
    impact of the built environment on human health and the natural
    environment by:
    • Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
    • Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
    (see healthy building)
    • Reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation
    GOALS OF GREEN BUILDING
    The concept of sustainable development can be traced to
    the energy (especially fossil oil) crisis and environmental
    pollution concerns of the 1960s and 1970s. The Rachel
    Carson book, "Silent Spring"published in 1962, is
    considered to be one of the first initial efforts to describe
    sustainable development as related to green building.
    The green building movement in the U.S. originated from
    the need and desire for more energy efficient and
    environmentally friendly construction practices.
    COST AND PAYOFF
    The most criticized issue about constructing environmentally
    friendly buildings is the price. Photovoltaics, new appliances, and
    modern technologies tend to cost more money. Most green
    buildings cost a premium of <2%, but yield 10 times as much
    over the entire life of the building.In regards to the financial
    benefits of green building, "Over 20 years, the financial payback
    typically exceeds the additional cost of greening by a factor of 4-
    6 times. And broader benefits, such as reductions in greenhouse
    gases (GHGs) and other pollutants have large positive impacts
    on surrounding communities and on the planet."
    REGULATION AND OPERATION
    • As a result of the increased interest in green
    building concepts and practices, a number of
    organizations have developed standards, codes
    and rating systems for use by government
    regulators, building professionals and consumers.
    In some cases, codes are written so local
    governments can adopt them as bylaws to reduce
    the local environmental impact of buildings .
