Green Building Construction

• Over the next few years, we can expect our
  natural resources to become scarce most
  especially those that we need in order for us to
  live and survive. Whether we admit it or not, the
  earth is no longer as sustainable as it was a few
  decades ago. This is one of the reasons why
  architects and engineers are looking for ways to
  build houses that are sustainable.
• This is also the reason why all of us are
  encouraged to take our own part in saving the
  earth. One of the most effective ways to save the
  earth is to focus on green building construction.

• What Does Green Home Building Mean?
• What many people think about green building is
  quite different from what it really is. When
  people hear about green or sustainable building,
  they think of a structure that looks like a
  typical building but with a lesser impact on the
  environment. Some others would think that it is a
  type of structure or the kind of surroundings the
  building has.
• Green or sustainable home building is actually a
  building project that allows you construct a
  structure that will serve its purpose while
  preserving most of the natural resources or the
  environment around the project area.

• One of the main advantages of a sustainable
  building is its operating cost. Because this type
  of building is designed to make use of the
  natural energy, homeowners will no longer have to
  rely solely on their heating and cooling system
  in order to maintain a healthy and comfortable
  environment inside the house. This will help them
  save on heating and cooling bills.
• Environmental Benefits
• A green building can help reduce water wastage,
  protect the ecosystem and biodiversity, and
  conserve natural resources. It can as well help
  improve the quality of air and water in and
  around the project site.

Sustainable Residential Architecture

• Social Benefits
• Sustainable home buildings generally improve its
  occupants' quality of life. It is also healthier,
  safer and more comfortable to live in as compared
  to an average house because it incorporates
  materials and products that are low in VOCs or
  volatile organic compounds. VOCs are among the
  compounds found in many materials and products
  used in constructing typical houses which can
  cause complications for people, especially for
  children, who have allergies or asthma.
• Sustainable homes also minimize strain on local
  infrastructure and improve the quality of air
  within the house.
