Synopsis

When you think of green architecture, do you picture a sleek, energy-efficient but boring-looking building? You shouldn't. Not only can green architecture help protect the environment and reduce energy costs for the building's occupants, it can also lead to some amazing design!

Green architecture focuses on using low impact materials to create a completed architecture that's energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Green buildings can vary from simple structures made from green materials to more technologically focused designs that use high-technology elements to reduce the building's impact.

Unlike conventional architecture, part of designing a green building is taking the building’s impact into account. That means not only looking at the building materials' environmental impact, but also considering elements like energy conservation, indoor air quality, site and construction management and water conservation.

Just as with any other sort of design, green building can range from the utilitarian to the absolutely gorgeous.
