Position Statement - Sustainable Construction
View all of our position statements.
The Builders Association supports the efforts of construction companies to use sustainable construction methods. Potential cost increases to build "green" may also result in savings over the life cycle of the building.
In addition to improving the environment, sustainable construction benefits owners through reduced operating costs, decreased number of days lost to health problems and increased overall productivity. Contractors who understand and utilize sustainable construction realize an added public relations benefit by enhancing their reputation as a firm committed to the environment and the well-being of the communities they build in.
