Ecoprenour Corner
There are a number of incentieves to build green, including environmental, economic, and social benefits. However, modern sustainability initiatives call for an integrated design to both new and existing construction going through a retrofit or remodeling. Also known as sustainable green remodelling or greenovate, this approach integrates the building life-cycle with lot of green practices. Building green can be achieved through a vast array of practices to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impact of a new or exiting building on the environment and human health. It can be achieved through taking advantage of exitent resources, e.g., using sunlight through passive or active solar construction methods, implementing photovoltaic selfsustainable power generation, using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens to improve heating or colling coeficient and to reduce the rainwater run-off.
