Human health is a longstanding value of the green building movement. Green buildings can promote health and well-being in the near term while preserving resources and protecting the environment for human benefit in the long term. By intentionally deploying green building strategies, like those available for use within the LEED rating systems, owners and practitioners can simultaneously promote health and well-being at a variety of population scales. These strategies can help: • Create superior environments for building occupants. • Promote safe and healthy sites for construction workers. • Reduce toxic exposures throughout the supply chain. • Advance the health of surrounding communities. • Mitigate climate change to benefit global populations.

The Inflation Reduction Act provides versatile tax incentives for businesses and individual property owners, including grants and low-cost financing. "It's not like you have to just pick one. You can get a couple of different tax incentives for the same project. Let's say you're renovating a building and you're also adding some rooftop solar. You can get tax incentives for each of those." - Ben Evans, USGBC. #USGBCAdvocacy https://bit.ly/3X1cslx
