What is Green Building Technology?

Green building technology is a set of advanced techniques used to create buildings with minimal environmental impact. Employ these techniques throughout the building lifecycle, including design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. The benefits of green building technology are numerous, including more efficient buildings, lower construction costs, and reduced operational costs. Efficiency is central to green building technology, including energy, water, materials, waste, and toxic reduction. The ultimate goal of green building technology is to reduce the adverse effects of buildings on the environment, such as carbon dioxide emissions and depletion of natural resources.

Discover the Top 5 Sustainable Facility Capital Planning Trends

1. Green Infrastructure

  • Importance of Green Infrastructure for Managing Stormwater.
  • Benefits of Green Infrastructure for Communities.

Green Infrastructure: Green Infrastructure involves landscaping and systems designed to manage stormwater through plants and soil in urban areas. It helps filter and absorb stormwater, a significant cause of water pollution in urban areas.

2. Electrochromic Glass

  • How Electrochromic Glass Works.
  • Benefits of Electrochromic Glass for Building Energy Efficiency.

Electrochromic Glass: Electrochromic glass uses a small electrical charge to alter the amount of light that reflects through a window. This technology can help reduce a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning costs.

3. Cool-Roof System

  • Understanding Cool-Roof Systems and Their Advantages.
  • How Cool-Roof Systems Help Reduce Carbon Emissions.

Cool-Roof System: A cool roof reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat than a standard roof. This technology can improve interior temperatures, reducing the strain on air conditioning systems and the carbon emissions from powering the cooling system.

4. Smart Appliances

  • Role of Smart Appliances in Building Energy Efficiency.
  • Advantages of Smart Appliances in Managing Power Usage.

Smart Appliances: Modern home appliances with innovative technology can save energy and make our lives easier. Intelligent washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators are connected to smart meters to make them energy-efficient.
