Creen bulldlngs consume less energy, less waLer and generaLe less

employees.

A Creen bulldlng focuses on lncreaslng Lhe emclency of resource
use - energy, waLer, and maLerlals - whlle reduclng bulldlng lmpacL

Why
Green ?

Creen bulldlngs are deslgned Lo save energy and resources, recycle
maLerlals and mlnlmlse Lhe emlsslon of Loxlc subsLances LhroughouL lLs
llfe cycle.

Creen bulldlngs harmon|se w|th the |oca| c||mate, trad|nons, cu|ture
and the surround|ng env|ronment.

Creen bulldlngs are ab|e to susta|n and |mprove the qua||ty of human

Creen bulldlngs make emclenL use of resources, have slgnlcanL
