There are many approaches to smart growth, from planning for more mixed use, transit oriented development to incorporating greater energy efficiency into individual buildings. Building green addressed not only the immediate site and structure, but also the life-time demand 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.
