A recent report published by McGraw Hill Construction, the real estate research unit of McGraw Hill group, has revealed that a number of companies are moving operations to “Green Buildings”.
Green buildings offer sustainable and healthy operation facilities. These buildings focus on efficient energy consumption while preserving and protecting the surrounding environment.
The report surveyed around 62 companies around the world.
The study revealed that around 51 percent of the respondents were planning to move 60 percent of their operations to a “green building” by 2015. This was around double the percentage of the number of companies that announced the same in 2008.
The report found that the number of firms planning to move around 60 percent of their operations to green buildings from 2002-15 had tripled in South Africa and doubled in Norway, Brazil and Germany. In regions like the U.K., U.S., Singapore, Australia and the U.A.E, the growth was estimated to be somewhere between 33 percent to 68 percent.
