"Green building" means designing, constructing and operating buildings with concern for the environment, for the people who will inhibit and use a building, and the surrounding community. Over its lifetime, a green building will use (or reuse) up fewer of the earth’s resources than a traditionally build and operated structure. All construction causes some impact, but green builders and designers seek to minimize or at least lessen this impact, also known as a "footprint" "Green Building" is the practice of maximizing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use resources—energy, water, and materials—while minimizing building impacts on human health and the environment, throughout the complete building life cycle—from sitting, design, and construction to operation, renovation, and reuse.
"Green remodeling" is the design and construction of projects that reduce the environmental impacts of remodeling, including energy, water, and materials consumption: waste generation: and harmful emissions, both indoors and out. Although the principles that govern green residential remodeling are shared with all other design and construction projects, more than a few aspects are unique to green remodeling. Unique areas consist of existing conditions, custom work, the professional relationship of client and remodeler, occupants concerns for their health, safety, and schedules of real people, sequenced and staged projects often require innovation in both design and construction of projects, integration a cornerstone of all types of green building is systems
