The World Council for green construction published an extensive report, which refers to the large number of compelling benefits of green construction, which are a number of different parties during the period of the construction process benefited recently.
Key results include the following:
Value of the property: investors and residents are aware of the environmental and social impact of buildings are becoming more aware and thus obtain building with better portability a higher market value compared to traditional construction methods. In fact, global studies confirm that green building is not only faster finding tenants, but also achieve higher rents and sales prices.
Costs of design and construction: Research shows that green building does not have to be necessarily more expensive, especially if cost estimates, program management, and environmental strategies are integrated from the beginning of the development process.
Maintenance costs: Green buildings have repeatedly show that cost savings are possible as a result of reduced energy and water consumption, and lower long-term maintenance costs. The energy savings alone pay for itself over a reasonable period of time, compared with the corresponding design and construction costs.
Production capacity and health in the workplace: research reports show that the aspects of green buildings and the inner atmospheres promote the work and production has a positive effect on the health and well-being of the staff, which in turn manifests itself in successful business results.
Risk reduction: risk factors in terms of portability to the rental income and the future value of land significantly affect, which in turn affects the profit of an investment. The risk regulations around the world more and more visible and include duty according to revelation, strengthened building codes and laws against unsustainable buildings.
The report of the World Council for green construction closes with a description of how the green building industry, used in cities and countries around the world, can achieve a far-reaching impact on the environment. The impact is felt on the line of far-reaching economic priorities such as delay of climate change, use of renewable energy, energy security, Erhaltbarkeit of precious natural resources, procurement jobs, and, not least, a better quality of life.
