Through this integration--called system design--a green building optimizes comfort, safety, durability and efficiency while minimizing energy use, maintenance and operating costs.

The benefits of green building with systems design include:
  • Energy-efficiency: using up to 50% less energy annually than a code-built structure.

  • Better health for occupants: achieving excellent indoor air quality from use of toxin-minimized materials and advanced ventilation systems.

  • Improved durability: reducing the risk of common building failures including ice dams, rot, mold and peeling paint.

  • Inexpensive operation: ensuring long-term unit affordability resulting from low energy and maintenance bills.

  • Enhanced daylight: optimizing natural light through proper building orientation and design.

  • Use of recycled materials: ...using recycled products found, to the greatest extent possible, from local sources.
