Green Construction

Buildings consume an astonishing amount of energy, much more than most people imagine. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, buildings account for around 18% of all energy consumed in the United States. In Europe it is estimated that 35% of all Europe’s greenhouse emissions emanate from buildings. Buildings occupy a huge expanse of space and utilize a tremendous amount of resources while under construction, and after they are occupied.

The concept of green construction or sustainable construction, as it is known in the industry, relates to the social, economic and environmental impact of usable structures. Its objective is to promote good building practices that are not harmful to the environment in the long-term. It endeavors to design energy-efficient buildings that are healthy for its occupants. It strives to reduce waste and pollution. Its primary concerns are People, the Planet and Profit.
