Chapter 2: Introduction to Green Building

第2章：绿色建筑导论

Green building is a holistic effort to transform the way built environments — from individual buildings to neighborhoods and even entire communities — are designed, constructed, and operated. Green building strives to optimize outcomes related to human health and well-being, the environment, and the economy.

绿色建筑是一项整体性工作，旨在转变建成环境——从单体建筑到社区乃至整个城市——的设计、建造和运营方式。绿色建筑致力于优化与人类健康与福祉、环境和经济相关的成果。
