Why Build Green?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that buildings account for:
39% of Total Energy Use
12% of Total Water Consumption
68% of Total Electricity Consumption
38% of Total Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Incorporating sustainable practices, materials and energy efficient products saves energy and money - up to 30 percent - while protecting our environment and creating a more comfortable, healthful environment for your family.
The city of Phoenix has distributed nearly $800,000 in financial incentives for green building while simultaneously developing its first voluntary green building code. While financial incentives are no longer available, a link to the Phoenix Green Construction Code can be found on our Codes page.
