Overview

Sustainable, or "green," buildings offer the opportunity to create a healthy workplace while, at the same time, reducing recurring energy, water and waste costs, and other building operation and maintenance costs, during the life cycle of a property. As a result, the design, development and operation of green buildings have been embraced by federal government, state and local agencies, and by institutional real estate investors, financiers and end-users throughout the world.

An understanding of sustainable building development and operations is essential to real estate practitioners everywhere.
