Green buildings may cost more up front, but they deliver high returns over the long term. Consider indicative data: Energy savings in green buildings routinely exceed 20% and reach 50% on hot days.

Oxygen-rich air, injected into enclosed space, improves employees’ health, increasing productivity.

Raised floors cut air-conditioning costs by 70%. Dry toilets save millions of gallons of water. A short term view will discount or ignore those metrics; a long-term, life-cycle view will embrace them.
