In line with our growing economy, we are also experiencing harmful environmental changes. Construction projects are one of the main contributors to the world's pollution. It is the main culprit for at least 4% of greenhouse gas emissions. It also contributes more to water pollution than any other industry, with hundreds to thousands of noise complaints yearly. Although construction projects also pollute the soil, air, water and noise pollution are the most affected areas.
Because of this, for years, professionals have tried to minimize these effects by creating alternatives that will decrease the number of greenhouse gas emissions for commercial buildings. And this is where the experts conceptualized green construction.
Green construction aims to decrease or eliminate unfavorable environmental effects on the design, planning, and operation phases—professionals also term this sustainable construction method. When designing structures, the primary goal is to minimize damage and create buildings that positively impact the environment.
