Green building and LEED
What is a green building?Green buildings are new or renovated buildings that efficiently use resources such as water, land, materials and energy.
“Building Green is not a new thing it is the right thing, and we always strive to use the most environmentally neutral building practices and materials. However, construction debris is always an issue, by ordering what we need and using it when we need it, it has helped us to divert as much as possible from the local landfill. There are tradeoffs which we all must take, however protection of our future and wise stewardship of our planet must be one of our utmost priorities.” says Justin Linden, President of ServiceBlocks Inc, specializing in bathroom renovations in Ottawa, Canada.
What is LEED?LEED, known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a voluntary rating system for defining what elements make a building green and many industries have already embraced it.
