Green construction standards
Green construction standards are guidelines aimed at creating buildings that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and sustainable. They promote the use of eco-friendly materials, reduce waste, conserve energy and water, and improve indoor air quality. These standards help minimize a building’s impact on the environment throughout its lifecycle—from design and construction to operation and eventual decommissioning. By adhering to green standards, buildings contribute to reducing carbon footprints, lowering utility costs, and creating healthier living and working spaces for occupants. Overall, they support responsible development that benefits both people and the planet.
