What is “Green”Design?
Design and construction practices that
significantly reduce or eliminate the negative
impact of buildings on the environment and
occupants in five broad areas:
Sustainable site planning
?
?
Safeguarding water and water efficiency
?
Energy efficiency and renewable energy
?
Conservation of materials and resources
?
Indoor environmental quality
?
Environmental Impact of Buildings*
> 36% of total U.S. primary energy use

Benefits of Green Building
Environmental benefits
Reduce the impacts of natural resource
?
consumption
Economic benefits
Improve the bottom line
?
Health and safety benefits
Enhance occupant comfort and health
?
Community benefits
Minimize strain on local infrastructures
?
and improve quality of life
Economic Benefits
Competitive first costs
Integrated design allows high benefit at low
?
cost by achieving synergies between
disciplines and between technologies
Reduce operating costs
Lower utility costs significantly
?
Optimize life-cycle economic performance
Productivity Benefits
Improve occupant performance
Estimated $29 –168 billion in national
?
productivity losses per year

Student performance is better in daylit
?
schools.
2, 3
Reduce absenteeism and turnover
Providing a healthy workplace improves
?
employee satisfaction
Increase retail sales with daylighting
Studies have shown ~40% improvement
