All about Green Building

Many people are becoming more interested in building green and in the rating system known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which helps to define what elements make a building green.

From home builders and contractors in Ottawa to the industrial sector that supplies the green building materials, every industry is embracing LEED certification. Buildings that have effectively met or exceeded the LEED certification efficiently use resources such as water, land, materials and energy.“Building Green is not a new thing it is the right thing, and we always strive to use the most environmentally neutral building practices and materials.  However, construction debris is always an issue, by ordering what we need and using it when we need it, it has helped us to divert as much as possible from the local landfill. There are tradeoffs which we all must take, however protection of our future and wise stewardship of our planet must be one of our utmost priorities.” says Justin Linden, President of ServiceBlocks Inc, a home renovations company in Ottawa, Canada.
