Green building certification systems
Green building certification systems are frameworks that evaluate and recognize buildings designed to be environmentally friendly and resource-efficient. They assess various aspects such as energy use, water conservation, indoor air quality, material sustainability, and overall environmental impact. Certifications like LEED or BREEAM provide standards and guidelines for builders to create healthier, more sustainable spaces while reducing operational costs and environmental footprint. Achieving certification involves meeting specific criteria, encouraging environmentally responsible construction practices that benefit occupants and the planet.
