A 'Green' Home or Workplace is a high performance home that is built to exceed the requirements of the building code especially in the areas of environmental quality and resource efficiency.
The higher initial cost of building a greener, more sustainable home/workplace is outweighed by the long-term health and savings benefits of incorporating renewable energy systems and healthier building materials.

recycling
water savings
energy efficiency
material selection
indoor environment quality
