Green technology aims to reduce environmental impact through sustainable practices like conservation of resources and use of renewable energy. Its goals include reducing waste and energy usage, increasing recycling, and renewing focus on cleaner energy sources like wind, solar and biofuels. Case studies show how green building standards have been implemented in projects like the BC Cancer Research Centre to significantly cut energy and water usage. Singapore has also promoted sustainable construction through initiatives like the BCA Green Mark rating system and intelligent buildings such as the National Library.
