Green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimizes the harmful effects of construction projects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices.
Common Characteristics of a "Green" Building
The highest goal of green architecture is to be fully sustainable. Simply put, people do "green" things in order to achieve sustainability. While most green buildings do not have all of the following features, green architecture and design may include:

Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and cooling
Energy-efficient lighting and appliances (e.g., ENERGY STAR® products)
Water-saving plumbing fixtures
Landscaping with native vegetation and planned to maximize passive solar energy
Minimal harm to the natural habitat
Alternative renewable energy power sources such as solar power or wind power
Non-synthetic, non-toxic materials used inside and out
Locally-obtained woods and stone, eliminating long-haul transportation
Responsibly-harvested woods
Adaptive reuse of older buildings
Use of recycled architectural salvage
Efficient use of space
Optimal location on the land, maximizing sunlight, winds, and natural sheltering
Rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse
