Green building techniques hold conventional building techniques to a higher standard. They support the conservation of natural resources, increase energy efficiency, provide a healthier living environment and can actually save the consumer money. A more efficient building means less of your monthly budget is going to non-renewable energy resources and you are providing a healthier environment for the people who live or work in the building.
![]() An important component of building green involves recycling materials that become available through the deconstruction process, as well as recycling construction site material. Building green reduces pressure on landfills and provides additional materials for re-use on future projects. Recycling is an important part of sustainable living - maintaining a balance with the natural world so that it remains healthy enough to support us. Green building doesn't just make good sense; it improves the health of families, homes and the environment. Additional websites on green building: US Environmental Protection Agency: Why Build Green?
