BUILDING GREEN - the practice
of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models
of construction.
Owners, developers and designers are demanding more green
buildings to become environmentally responsible. A green
building, or a sustainable building is designed and operated
to utilize resources more efficiently and contributes
to improving employee productivity.
Daylighting Principles - light, day and season cycles,
provide biological stimulation for hormones that regulate
body systems and moods. When properly integrated with
the electric lighting system, daylighting can provide
tremendous energy savings. Advantages of daylighting translate
to higher employee productivity and well being, making
daylighting one of the best building-related investments
available. A thermally efficient building shell in conjunction
with a properly sized and energy-efficient HVAC system
also contributes to cost savings and occupant comfort.

buildings and not the building materials for a LEED (Leadership
in Energy & Environmental Design) (www.usgbc.org/LEED)
