Community Sustainability and Green BuildingBuildings account for a large amount of land use, energy and water consumption, and atmosphere alteration. The environmental impact of buildings is often underestimated as buildings and homes account for 40% of US energy demand, while the perceived costs of green buildings are overestimated with the true average cost difference of about 5%. Sustainable building or green construction is the practice of using processes and building techniques that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient during the initial construction and throughout the structure's life-cycle. Sustainable practices include: • Efficiently using energy, water, and other materials • Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity • Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation The AltEnergy Building Network brings together manufactures and suppliers dedicated to changing the world as we know it. This site is designed to provide education and information about sustainable building. Members of the AltEnergy Building Network follow best practices such as those published by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.
