Green structures in office environments can also help to increase worker’s proficiency by providing them with full time air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, using renewable energy techniques.

One way to think about green architecture is its capability to reduce the embodied energy of a building. Any licensed architect can assist clients in sourcing materials that require less intensive labour and also require less transportation.

Another way to minimize embodied energy during building creation is by using materials that have been recycled, like steel or reclaimed wood. This gives new construction a smaller footprint opposed to those buildings that require entirely new materials to be fabricated.
