Economic Benefits of Going Green

Although there may be more up front costs, building green can save more through lower operating costs over the life of the building. But even with a tight budget, you can always find ways to “Go Green”. The best way to do this is with an integrated approach that understands and treats all parts of “The Entire Building as a System” rather than a collection of stand-alone parts. Some of the benefits cannot be quantified, such as improvements in occupant health, comfort, and productivity, and reduction of pollution.
