The Way We Green . Building green is about conserving resources during construction and throughout the operation of a building. Green buildings can contribute to the protection and restoration of biodiversity and urban agriculture and improve comfort, productivity, and livability for the people who occupy them. To encourage greener buildings, the City has developed the Green Building Plan in consultation with community, industry, City departments and sustainability experts. The plan sets out the City's expectations for green building as well as the programs that will be developed to encourage greener buildings in Edmonton. We all benefit from Green Buildings. Those who build green can improve the economy by promoting renewable energy technologies, encouraging the growth of local business and expanding the use of sustainable construction materials. Those who buy green homes or buildings can experience more comfortable indoor environments, feel good about contributing to a reduction in Edmonton's carbon footprint, and save money on their utility bills!
