What Is Sustainable Building?

Sustainable building—sometimes called green construction—is the practice of designing and constructing structures that minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and durability. This includes:

• Using eco‑friendly materials like reclaimed wood, recycled steel, and low‑VOC finishes.

• Incorporating energy‑efficient systems such as solar panels, high‑performance insulation, and smart HVAC.

• Designing for water conservation with low‑flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, and drought‑tolerant landscaping.

• Prioritizing indoor air quality and occupant health.
