Green building represents an environmental pledge, with buildings conceived to minimize their environmental impact. This sustainable construction model arose from consumer demand, industrial growth, and strategic governmental decisions.
Green buildings are recognized by the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, which verifies that buildings adhere to requisite ecological and environmental standards.
LEED's scoring system ranges from 0 to 110 points, and a building must secure at least 40 points to be considered for certification.
Securing the LEED certification enhances an organization's reputation, but the benefits go beyond that. These include:

All these characteristics, components, and certifications are vital for green and sustainable buildings. By supplying materials for these projects, we actively participate in a significant transformation towards a healthier environment and improved quality of life. We can thereby reduce our impact on the planet and consciously advocate for advancing technology that doesn't harm nature.
