An EDGE-certified green building
As the world remodels towards a carbon-free economy, green buildings are fast gaining global acceptance and adoption as the future-proof standard for the construction industry.
This is because of their capacity to mitigate the negative impact of construction work on the environment.
Studies show that the conventional building sector accounts for about 28 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 35 percent of energy usage; 60 per cent of the electricity for heating, cooling, and lighting; as well as 25 percent of global water and 40 per cent of materials extracted.
On the other hand, green buildings incorporate climate-smart practices and technologies that enable them to use key resources like energy, water, materials, and land more responsibly than traditional buildings.
