Green Building

Sustainable building and environmentally friendly construction

Green building refers to the quality characteristics, apart from location and costs, most important for planners and builders who value sustainability: quality of construction, healthy living, energy saving measures and environmentally friendly construction materials and practices.

Sustainable construction methods are necessary to keep our climate healthy and protect our environment so that humans and other life forms can thrive. Its main focus is to reduce harmful pollutants, minimize energy consumption and conserve resources.
