A Green building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building. Green housing or eco-friendly homes are an integrated approach towards minimizing the adverse effects of construction on the environment and promoting healthier living for people. Architectural and building contracting firms agree that to remain competitive they must shift toward green buildings, including the use of green building projects. Green Building Certification is a confirmation that a product meets defined criteria of a standard. The primary purpose of building certification is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of people in and around buildings. Certification is a formal process which involves a project using a rating tool to guide the design or construction process during which a documentation-based submission is collated as proof of this achievement. Buildings that have been assessed and are deemed to meet a certain level of performance and quality, receive a certificate proving this achievement.
