Green building is an approach toward building design, construction, operation, and removal that seeks to reduce human impact on the environment while fostering healthy and comfortable communities. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their building's performance by recognizing six (6) key elements:
- Sustainable Site
- Water Efficiency
- Energy and Atmosphere
- Materials and Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Innovation and Design
A number of these elements have been implemented throughout the design, construction, and operation of The Buick building, the home of August Mack's corporate office.
