Green-certified buildings help to maximize efficiency, and we’re not just talking about sustainability. A new study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that workers in high-performing, green-certified buildings think and sleep better than those in similar buildings that were not green-certified, which can help drive worker efficiency. These types of buildings use a different lighting system that acts more like daylight and creates an optimum temperature for comfort. The findings may help in help drive demand for this efficient, sustainable buildings.
Green buildings benefit the environment and the people inside them
