“Green” buildings use fewer resources such as electricity, water and building materials than traditional (a.k.a non-green) buildings.
Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations though! A regular building that's been clad in timber or just had a small wind-turbine stuck on top of it is not a good example of sustainable design.
(I will use the terms “green”and “sustainable” interchangeably here, even though they mean different things when you become very familiar with the concepts.)
Hi, thanks so much for reposting this I will be slowly adding more articles and I think quite a few will be relevant to you, especially those dealing with broader sustainability topics such as diversification and banded-control
