Green Building

Green construction, Green Buildings, is the practice of constructing and operating buildings that aims to reduce the consumption of energy and material resources throughout the entire life cycle of a building: from site selection to design, construction, operation, repair and demolition, while maintaining or improving the quality of buildings and the comfort of their interior environment.

With the increasing threat of global climate change, the depletion of natural resources and the collapse of the global ecosystem, the construction of buildings using modern ecological technology is of paramount importance and must be given higher priority than the construction of traditional structures.

The main advantages of Green Building for society are improved living conditions, health and well-being for occupants and tenants; indoor comfort in terms of air quality, as well as thermal and acoustic properties; reduction of pollution in water, soil and air and the consequent reduction in pressure on urban infrastructure; improved quality of life through balanced urban design - location of workplaces close to residential areas

Green Building objectives:

Reducing the cumulative (over the entire life cycle of a building) detrimental impact of construction activities on human health and the environment, which is achieved through the use of new technologies and approaches;

Creation of new industrial products;

Reducing the strain on regional energy networks and improving their reliability;

Creation of new jobs in the intellectual sphere of production;

Reduction of maintenance costs for new buildings;

Pros of Green Building:

Environmental benefits:

Significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, litter and polluted water;

Enhancement and protection of natural habitats and biodiversity;

 Conservation of natural resources.

Benefits for health and society:

Creation of more comfortable indoor conditions in terms of air quality, as well as thermal and acoustic characteristics;

Reducing pollution entering water, soil and air, and consequently reducing the burden on urban infrastructure;

Improved quality of life through optimal urban design - locating workplaces in close proximity to residential areas and social infrastructure (schools, medical facilities, public transport, etc.).
