What is “Green Building Design” American Institute of Architects • protect occupant health; improve employee productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reduce the overall impact to the environment. www.aia.org a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner.

  6. Health Impact“Approximately two thirds of U.S. adults and one fifth of U.S. children are obese or overweight. Being either obese or overweight increases the risk for many chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and stroke). Reversing the U.S. obesity epidemic requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach that uses policy and environmental change to transform communities into places that support and promote healthy lifestyle choices for all U.S. residents”. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5807a1.htm

  7. Health Impact The magnitude of the epidemic means that everyone has a role to play in its reversal, especially because the solution requires policy and environmental changes on many levels.
