Buildings can be “green” because their design minimizes pollution and environmental impact and contributes to human health and well-being. They can also be “green” thanks to the development of features meant to reduce impact on natural resources. Throughout its life cycle, a green building will maintain processes that ensure the use of less energy, the most efficient water usage, the healthiest form of waste disposal, and the optimization of all its resources for the benefit of the people who live there.
The basic idea of constructing or renovating buildings to be green is the fact that the types of structures human beings create have been demonstrated to have often profound effects on the world around them, as well as on the people who inhabit them.
