to ecologic and economic stresses.

The goal of green building is to reduce the environmental impact
of human habitation. Green Building practices require the use of environmentally sustainable construction methods incorporating energy and water efficient systems and bio-safe materials. Typically, LEED Certified buildings are constructed utilizing long-life components, reducing the need for replacement and disposal; recycled, reused or re-purposed existing salvaged (used) materials; alternative clean energy sources to offset emissions from conventional resources; efficient potable water systems and greywater reuse measures to minimize sewage discharge; energy-efficient fixtures and appliances; environmentally- friendly paints and sealants; building site positioning and window placement for maximum solar benefit; and organic, native, natural landscaping.

By implementing many green building strategies, developers, homeowners, and communities can benefit from a reduction in waste, lower costs of construction, operation and maintenance, and the renewal of a healthy, enduring environment.
