Sustainable building practices impact the full life-cycle of a building, through design, implementation, operations and maintenance and renewal of the built environment.
The recent trend toward Green Building is being driven by:
- Legislative mandates for public sector facilities and tax incentives for commercial buildings
- Corporate initiatives to address environmental protection
- Attitudinal shifts of consumers
- Rising and volatile energy prices
