development to incorporating greater energy efficiency into
individual buildings. Building green addressed not only the

on resources from building materials to energy consumption.
Often building in long-term savings at the outset increases
initial capital investment, but net benefits accrue throughout
the life of the project. Below are sources of further information
on building green buildings and communities.
