Green building emphasizes reducing harm to the environment.
This can be done by using reclaimed
and recycled materials, products that are sustainably harvested (FSC certified wood), materials
that are rapidly renewable, and products with exceptional durability and low replacement
requirements. Green building also utilizes engineering to minimize the amount of materials needed
to attain the same stability within a structure.
