Buildings reportedly account for 40% of the world's global CO2 emissions — so it's wonderful that more organizations are looking to embrace sustainable design. For energy efficiency, try to use natural light as much as possible and ensure that any artificial lighting is LED with motion sensors for optimal energy savings. 
You can invest in energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, such as inverter-type ACs, radiant floor heating, geothermal systems, or solar-powered equipment.
Use green building materials that are sustainably sourced and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as FSC-certified wood and composite materials with recycled content. Finally, consider how water can be reused through water filtration for secondary purposes such as flushing toilets and irrigating outdoor gardens.
