A sustainable building, or green building is an outcome of
a design which focuses on increasing the efficiency of
resource use — energy, water, and materials — while
reducing building impacts on human health and the
environment during the building's lifecycle, through better
siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and
removal.[1]
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact
of the built environment on human health and the natural
environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee
productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation[2]
A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on
a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural
materials that are available locally.[3] Other commonly
used terms include sustainable design and green
architecture.
