Green buildings have greater payoffs than the cost to construct them making them a good investment over using standard building sites and materials. Many components play into the construction and design of a green building including location and building materials (just to name a few). Green buildings‚ whether they are homes‚ offices‚ or schools‚ are built to reduce pollution‚ conserve energy used‚ and to more efficiently use renewable resources. Several practices that are now used by those “going

In this article‚ Buffam discusses the potential risks that green roof runoff can have on downstream ecosystems. Though beneficial in some areas‚ storm water runoff from these roofs have been found to seep harmful chemicals that can contaminate water quality. Sources of phosphorous‚ carbon‚ copper and iron have all been identified as a part of the hazardous runoff. It has been anticipated that these green roof ecosystems have fluctuating runoff concentrations depending on plant production‚ microscopic
