In addition to implementing energy-efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, green building projects are designed to harness natural resources like light and air.

Studies have found that operational costs for green buildings were 19% lower than the industry average.

Energy efficiency is one of the key principles behind many green building certifications. In addition to implementing energy-efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, many green building projects are designed to harness natural resources like light and air. By being more strategic about window placement, mindful about energy sources and appliances, and by creating natural ventilation options, developers save on utility bills down the road. In fact, a study done by the General Services Administration (GSA) found that operational costs for green buildings were 19 percent lower than the industry average.

The earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.
