Green buildings aim to reduce negative impacts on the environment by using less water, energy and natural resources. The large surface area of foliage helps reduce CO2 emissions in the air and purify the air. 

Solar energy can be used as an energy source for both heating and electricity. Thermal solar energy is acquired from the sun by air, and transferred  into  the ground. Concentrated solar energy is acquired through solar roof panels, directing sunlight into optimal energy.

Having a viable site water management systems is very important in terms of water preservation. Making efforts to thoroughly treat existing water as a way to create a reusable water cycle, is an effective way to conserve water sources. 

Minimizing site disturbances is crucial in the architectural building process. Working with the natural contours of a site is a proactive alternative to excavation. 

When building on land, it is important to maintain the native vegetation of the site. When removed, it is crucial to re-plant all vegetation and plant extra as an effort to increase positive impacts on the site.
