The
goal of green design is to create high-performance buildings. Often
called “sustainable design”, it is a comprehensive and
integrated approach to the art of designing and operating buildings.
It ensures conservation of energy, water and natural resources.
It promotes a healthier indoor environment, which improves the quality
of life. If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the
problem.
