Green Building Architect

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, green construction is the “practice of erecting buildings and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient. Green buildings limit their environmental impact by conserving as much energy and water as possible, and are constructed of recycled or renewable materials in order to achieve maximum resource efficiency.” Considerations when "going green" are location, using energy efficiently, water conservation, air quality and onsite practices.
