Greener Buildings for Greener Communities
According to the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) the constructed environment has a direct impact on the natural environment and on health and productivity. Buildings in the U.S. account for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 30% of raw material consumption and 12% of potable water use among others. The impact of commercial construction within communities affects that community in many ways. Through breakthroughs in green building construction engineering and building design, commercial construction companies and building owners have viable options to reduce those effects as new buildings are constructed.
Benefits of Green Building
The impact of high performance or sustainable construction on the surrounding environment is evident in many ways. It enhances and protects biodiversity and neighboring ecosystems, helps reduce solid wastes and conserves natural resources by harnessing alternate energy sources such as solar power. McCarthy led the building industry over ten years ago to adopt and employ clean air standards both for indoor use and outdoor use during construction phases.
Inside the buildings sustainable construction companies such as McCarthy build, there is a marked improvement in air, thermal and acoustic conditions. Green building construction improves occupant comfort and contributes to the overall quality of life. High performance building also helps to minimize the strain on the local infrastructure.
And for clients seeking to erect green buildings or for the sustainable builders constructing them, high performance construction reduces operating costs, enhances asset value and profits, can help improve employee productivity and significantly optimizes the life-cycle of that building.
