Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.[1] This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.[2] The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.[3]
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings which was Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Other certificates system that confirms the sustainability of buildings is the British BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) for buildings and large-scale developments. Currently, World Green Building Council is conducting research on the effects of green buildings on the health and productivity of their users and is working with World Bank to promote Green Buildings in Emerging Markets through EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Market Transformation Program and certification.[4] There are also other tools such as Green Star in Australia and the Green Building Index (GBI) predominantly used in Malaysia.
Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective of green buildings is to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
“Green or sustainable building is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition.”
50% of material resources taken from nature are building related
Over 50% of National waste production comes from the building sector
A green building rating system is an evaluation tool that measures environmental performance of a building through its life cycle
Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact through efficient energy, water and resource use as well as waste reduction. They provide healthier spaces for occupants compared to conventional buildings.

Intelligent buildings integrate technological systems, communications, and controls to create flexible, effective, comfortable, and secure environments for owners, operators, and occupants. Green buildings are high-performance buildings that maximize user comfort and productivity while minimizing environmental impact through integration of technologies, materials, and design features. Technologies and integrated intelligent building systems can help buildings achieve energy efficiency objectives and meet the needs of those constructing or retrofitting green buildings. Accessibility and affordability of these technologies is a consideration.

Details matter. Air conditioning and comfort cooling is expensive, it's even more expensive if you pay to cool and dehumidify then throw away conditioned air John Herbert said. air leakage discovered is energy efficient defect.
troubleshooting MEP - VRV condenser unit discharge heats the air-conditioned building increasing energy costs, increasing carbon footprint and maintenance costs.
Operating external lighting during daylight hours obviously wastes energy, but more importantly, we learn visually, so it demonstrates you don't care.....

cooling tower annual audit process by John A. HerbertJohn A Herbert
1) The EMSD Code of Practice requires annual independent audits of cooling tower operations and maintenance records by a competent auditor.
2) Auditors must inspect documentation, the cooling tower system, identify risks and problems, and make recommendations. They must also submit an audit report to EMSD.
3) EMSD conducts Legionella water sampling on cooling towers and issues public notices for towers with excessive Legionella, listing them on their website.
An energy audit involves four stages: data collection, inspection of energy usage, analysis to benchmark usage, and recommendations. The inspection stage examines the building envelope, processes, and engineering systems like electricity, gas, steam and compressed air. Analysis benchmarks energy usage, and recommendations identify opportunities to lower consumption and energy waste. An audit of a Shanghai factory found issues like a gym operating when empty, steam traps leaking, and problems with the chiller system.

2. Herbert talks about the need for businesses to address climate change through sustainable practices like energy efficiency, waste reduction, and recycling.
3. He argues that companies should move beyond thinking of "waste" as something to dispose of and instead view it as a potential "feedstock" through practices like industrial symbiosis between companies.
John A. Herbert is an expert in energy efficiency with extensive experience and credentials. He discusses how energy efficiency can help address global energy challenges and opportunities for Hong Kong businesses. Implementing energy efficiency measures such as better lighting, motor controls, and recycling can help companies reduce costs while listed companies with energy efficiency programs tend to outperform peers. As Herbert states, energy efficiency is not rocket science but is even more important for businesses and the global environment.
John A. Herbert presented on energy efficiency opportunities in buildings at an HAESCO Energy Seminar. He discussed how buildings account for a large portion of electricity and energy usage. Implementing energy efficient measures like installing variable frequency drives on electric motors can provide attractive returns on investment with paybacks of one year or less. He proposed introducing mandatory building efficiency labels to create transparency and competition, similar to miles per gallon labels for vehicles. Designing energy efficiency into new building projects from the start can lower lifetime energy costs through measures such as optimizing piping layouts and installing smarter metering. Energy audits can also identify savings opportunities that generate net savings for businesses and the economy.
