A definition from the United State Environmental Protection Agency:

"Green building is the practice of creating structures that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life cycle. A building's life cycle includes siting, design construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. In addition to environmental benefits, green buildings provide economic and public health benefits for building owners and users."
