STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Review Many considerations go into developing communities and building homes. One of the ideas to emerge recently is the idea of Green building. The focus of green building is to reduce the environmental effects of the building process. Green building includes using environmentally friendly materials and construction techniques. It also includes design decisions that reduce energy and resource use over the life of the house. A well-built green structure can be a win-win situation. Homeowners can get a well-designed, well-built structure that also has lower utility bills and helps the local economy.
