Health, Comfort & Productivity
Green buildings include, as a part of their mission, the provision of conditions that are healthy, comfortable, and enhance productivity. Green building includes not only using energy‐efficient, recycled, and recyclable materials and products, but also creating a healthy, comfortable indoor environment. The holistic theme that permeates green building projects is evident in the indoor environment, where many different components must interact to create healthy and comfortable air, water, lighting, and furnishings, as well as quiet surroundings where people can concentrate and feel comfortable learning or working. The interior space is where building owners and users are likely to spend the most time experiencing the long‐term benefits of thoughtful, ecological design—and to enjoy an awareness that they are saving natural resources while taking care of their health.
