The Built Environment • Each year the construction, renovation and operation of buildings consume: • 40% of the raw materials • 32% of the total energy produced • 17% of all fresh water use • 25% of the global wood harvest. • This results in tens of millions of tons of greenhouse gases, air / water pollution, and wastes. The construction industry consumes 60% of all non-food and non-fuel raw materials in the U.S.
