Rezumat
A green building is a building which is energy efficient, resource efficient and environmentally responsible- which incorporates design, construction and operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate its negative impact on the environment and its occupants. Building green is an opportunity to use resources efficiently and address climate change while creating healthier and more productive environments for people to live and work in.
The Green Building Council of South Africa will lead the transformation of the South African property industry to ensure that all buildings are designed, built and operated in an environmentally sustainable way that will allow South Africans to work and live in healthy, efficient and productive environments.
Their mission is to promote, encourage and facilitate green building in the South African property and construction industry through market-based solutions, by:
* Promoting the practice of green building in the commercial property industry
* Facilitating the implementation of green building practice by acting as a resource centre,
* Enabling the objective measurement of green building practices by developing and operating a green building rating system, and
* Improving the knowledge and skills base of green building in the industry by enabling and offering training and education
