• Planning a building with green intentions and
  sustainable energy sources is a need in today's
  world. While the initial cost of installation may
  be higher priced than traditional building
  methods, the long-term benefits, and cost-savings
  of building a modernly effective

• Designing a building with Green Building
  Materials that adheres to a LEED certification is
  highly useful to those individuals who will live
  or work in the building as well as to the
  atmosphere that encircles the facility.

• There are many processes that go into the design,
  implementation, and planning of a new building.
  These processes must be rethought to consolidate
  green technology and green building techniques.
  The position of the sun, as well as the positions
  of the surrounding building, must be viewed in
  detail in order to achieve the maximum amount of
  natural light.

• Furthermore, the design must also take into
  account where shading comes from in order to hold
  the building itself well lit, but keep air
  conditioning costs down. Green Building
  Construction materials having High-value
  insulation should be used in the walls and
  ceilings in order to retain the natural heat or
  air conditioning in, reducing the frequency of
  running the building's HVAC system and saving
  money in energy costs.

• One of the up and advancing green design
  techniques is the roof garden. On especially tall
  buildings or building that is in massively
  populated areas, the roof garden subtracts for a
  natural environment in a city atmosphere. Roof
  gardens allow for a longer lifespan of the roof
  and are a great way to catch excess water runoff.

8

• The extra water can be used to fill toilets or
  power the sprinkler system inside the home. Other
  rooftop extensions include solar panels and/or
  wind turbines to produce electricity that can not
  only power the entire facility but many blocks of
  the community as well.

• The materials that are utilized during
  construction can determine whether the building
  will meet LEED certification guidelines. Using
  recycled elements will help you cut down on
  construction costs as well as help the climate.
  Extra great way to help the environment is by
  using materials that are built locally as to
  eliminate the shipping costs and usage of natural
  resources that they need to be delivered.

• The core of constructing a green building
  Exterior Cladding Materials with LEED
  certification is energy efficiency. A facility
  that has provides a minimal amount of waste and
  is producing as much or more energy than they are
  utilizing will be a great asset to the community
  and the environment. People who live or work in
  and around the building will lead to happier,
  healthier lives.
