Green building can be profitable, and reduce the environmental impact of construction. This program demonstrates techniques builders can use to promote green construction, including consumer education, the use of energy rating systems and Energy Star as marketing tools, and sources of green financing. Such damage can harm wildlife habitats, native vegetation and other natural resources. Many techniques are available to minimize environmental damage during construction. This module discusses these practices that can be used in your operation.
