Green buildings and sustainable architecture bring benefits beyond economics and the environment. Sustainable buildings provide some of the most effective means to achieving a broad spectrum of sustainability development and global goals.
From actively combating climate change, and creating tenable and thriving communities to driving economic recovery and growth, the benefits of green buildings are aplenty and far-reaching. Green buildings are a powerful tool that curtails negative impacts on the environment by optimising the consumption of water, energy or natural resources.
They also positively impact the environment on a local and city level as they can generate their own power working towards a net-zero goal and even increase biodiversity. There is substantial evidence that demonstrates the positive impacts of greenery and biodiversity on human well-being and the health of the urban space.
As the percentage of the population living in urban areas increases across the globe, it is critical to understand that biodiversity contributes significantly to the liveability of our ever-expanding urban spaces.
Biophilic design supported by ecosystem services like improved air quality and HVAC systems brings incredible benefits to humans like reduced morbidity, improved physical health, better mental well-being, increased social cohesion, lower stress levels, more clarity of thought, and even progress in healing.
