For far too long, the construction industry has overlooked its responsibility to prioritize environmental impact. As of 2020, buildings accounted for 37% of worldwide energy consumption and CO2 emissions related to energy use. Given the rapid pace of urbanization, this figure could double in the years to come unless we embrace new approaches to real estate development. In light of global mandates, corporate social responsibility, conscious consumerism, and the potential risks facing future generations, the need for green buildings has never been more pressing.

Green buildings are designed to minimize carbon footprints not only during the construction phase, but also after the building is occupied. The design prioritizes features that reduce dependency on energy and water consumption, thereby enabling users to reduce their impact on the environment. In addition, materials used in green buildings are responsibly and locally sourced, with most of the waste being recycled within the establishment. Several internationally recognized certification bodies help validate green building structures, providing credibility to the initiatives undertaken by organizations, standardizing global efforts, and enhancing the saleability of real estate.
