These buildings prioritize sustainable design and add features that enhance the lifestyle of all occupants. That said, let\u2019s take a look at some of the differentiating characteristics of green buildings:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of renewable energy like wind or solar energy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of non-toxic materials that ensure sustainability and are more ethical to use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waste and pollution reduction measures like recycling and re-using\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Efficient and effective use of limited resources like energy and water.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building design that makes it easier to adapt to changing environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good air quality in the interiors\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that any building can be a green building with the aforementioned characteristics and features, whether it is a residence, office, or even a school, and almost every other type of property you can think of.

Lower utility bills and healthy air quality are extremely valuable and appealing. Various certifications can be displayed using a plaque, asserting your building\u2019s health and competitiveness.<br \/>\nNYC Local Law 33 mandates for buildings to display their green scores, regardless of how low they are.

Moreover, green consciousness is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, Local Law 33 requires owners of buildings over 25,000 square feet to obtain Building Energy Efficiency Rating labels on an annual basis. The law also mandates that they have these certifications near public-facing entrances. As the world becomes more green-conscious, it is certain that these certifications will have a positive impact.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Government Incentives<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s begin with <strong>Tax Benefits<\/strong> Recent patterns represent that federal tax incentives have been enacted to encourage and reward buildings that are sustainably designed green buildings \u2013 residential &amp; commercial. The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 are some examples that reflect tax incentivization. We urge you to speak to your accountant to optimize.<br \/>\nFurther, energy incentive programs are location dependent. Some focus more on solar power and other renewables whereas, some target energy efficiency directly. A list of pre-determined measures which are eligible for incentives is designed which could either be equipment (LED, etc.) oriented or based on performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the location of your property, you might also be entitled to other incentives for green buildings. These incentives could be based on the overall energy efficiency of the building or on the equipment you use. This makes it quite clear that green buildings are great for capitalizing on government incentives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Long Term Cost Saving<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the primary factors that make green buildings so popular is their long-term cost efficiency. Since these buildings are made of sustainable materials, they tend to have a longer lifecycle than usual buildings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though the immediate cost might seem hefty, bearing the initial investment further paves way for greater savings by tipping down on maintenance and shooting up savings directly on the utility bills and expanding the life cycle on the building\u2019s long term operations. For example, exterior re-painting is often no more a concern when once painted using special renewable material; high volumes of water are no longer wasted with the installation of efficient plumbing system. Retro-fitting has proven to help the owners save around 5-20%, and essentially it pays for itself after three years.<br \/>\nOften times, owners of industrial spaces are withdrawn from green-proofing their buildings. The stringent requirements for licensing and certification contribute to this. However, it will be safe to dignify these concerns as short-sighted as at the end of the barter is excellent energy efficiency which will help save for several long years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some of the best-known benefits of green buildings today.
