Benefits of Building Green
About 50% of the world’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions come from buildings and construction. Green building helps reduce these impacts and benefit everyone by:
- Saving energy, water, and other resources.
- Improving building health, comfort, and value.
- Reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation.
- Reducing greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
See the impact of green building locally on the City of Austin Open Data webpage.
