How can green building practices reduce environmental impact?
Green building practices reduce environmental impact by promoting energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and the use of sustainable and non-toxic materials. These practices include designing buildings to maximize natural light and ventilation, using renewable energy sources, installing efficient appliances and fixtures, and using recycled or sustainably sourced building materials. By reducing resource consumption and minimizing waste, green buildings help to lower the carbon footprint and environmental impact of construction and operation.
