Green Building Legislation
Green Building Legislation

State and local governments, colleges and universities, corporations, and even the Federal government are creating policies requiring “green building” to consider design, construction, and decommissioning before a project – new or retrofit – is undertaken. 

 

The overall goals of green building are to improve energy performance, reduce energy and water consumption, increase use of local and/or recycled materials, improve indoor air quality, promote “smart growth” strategies, and improve economic performance of these buildings.  

 

SYLVANIA products are the perfect choice to meet the needs, requirements and prerequisites of any green building rating system.
