Resilience through Green Construction

Global Communities is a green construction pioneer in the international development arena. With our expertise rooted in affordable housing, we have long been incorporating environmentally friendly and energy-efficient elements into the home improvement, community infrastructure and school construction projects we implement together with local partners, and as part of post-disaster reconstruction efforts. Globally, buildings account for 40% of global carbon emissions. Addressing the entire building life cycle – planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition – in a sustainable way not only benefits the environment, it also reduces long-term operating costs and increases the productivity and health of inhabitants. Green buildings minimize energy requirements, reduce water consumption, use efficient materials and resources, reduce waste generation and ultimately conserve and enhance the surrounding environment.
