When did the idea of green construction begin?
What year did green construction talk and ideas begin? Did it begin with the formation of the USGBC or were there organizations that predated this?
I’m referring to organizations, government bodies, lobbyists or "outstanding citizens"…… from modern history.
yea, green building has been going on since the beginning of time. it was then that humans were concerned with conservation of resources… even native american cultures are green builders moreso than the rest of modern day society. USGBC of course is a flashier and more modern type of green building, but the roots of green buidling go far back before man tried to completely own the earth and all the resources within it.
in third world countries they live in sustainable green houses, but this obviously has a lot to do with the resources they have around them and the fact that they actually care to conserve them.
now if you’re talking actual organizations…. ?? don’t know.
it started in 25,000 BC. Man found out that if you don’t keep things clean you get sick and die.
In the modern age it began when people started realizing the need for better environment friendly housing. Which do not add to pollution issue any more.
