IIa. Green Building Green Building is the practice of creating structures and using process that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s lifecycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.

IIb. LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Va. Conclusions i.

Green Buildings are relevant to business interests across the full spectrum of concerns, from portfolio issues to enhanced quality of individual workspaces.

ii. Research on Green Buildings should address a range of outcomes (workforce attraction and retention, quality of work life, work output, and customer relationship). iii. Green Buildings can provide both cost reduction benefits and value added benefits.
