A green or sustainable building is a structure designed and constructed using environmentally friendly materials and methods to reduce its impact on the environment. Such buildings aim to achieve energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and a lower carbon footprint.
Green buildings are crucial because they help to mitigate the negative impacts of human activities on the environment, including climate change, deforestation, and air and water pollution. Green building reduces energy consumption, conserves water, reduces waste, and promotes healthier living and working conditions.
Moreover, green buildings often have lower operational costs, and their owners can save money on utility bills and other expenses. In addition, green buildings can enhance the overall quality of life for the occupants, promoting mental and physical well-being and productivity.
