Benefits of Green Buildings

P.I.Q. High Performance Classroom
There are many benefits to green buildings, from minimizing the environmental impact of construction to producing less waste and providing a healthier indoor environment for its occupants; green buildings can be an environmentally friendly space solution.

Environmentally Friendly

Modular green construction has a lower impact on the environment over traditional construction methods. Many of the materials used for the walls and floors are made from recycled materials. Green modular buildings are excellent at conserving natural resources by utilizing high efficiency utilities and fixtures as well as making better use of natural lighting.

Less Waste

Green modular buildings require less energy to operate due to the utilization of better temperature insulation methods. This helps reduce operating costs by lowering heating, air conditioning and electric bills. Besides being energy efficient, green modular buildings decrease product waste due to the ability to reuse entire buildings or major components of the building.

Healthier Environment

Because modular green buildings are built in a climate-controlled factory environment, there is a reduced risk of moisture accumulating inside the building, which reduces the risk of mold. There are also minimal on-site greenhouse gas emissions because most of the work is done at the factory.

With its inherent reduced product waste and healthier environment, it is now easier than ever for builders to go green with the use of modular construction.
