Green building and construction is a word that has been thrown about quite frequently. Few would know its intrinsic meaning. In the construction industry, there are common allusions to green buildings and construction. But the question often arises, how much of it is being followed?
It’s common to speak of positive energies at forums. They are supposed to infuse a sense of vibrancy and ‘illuminate’ people from within, while eliminating negative energy. The same can be said about green buildings. The World Green Building Council defines a green building as a building that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and natural environment. Green buildings preserve precious natural resources and improve our quality of life.
