"Green buildings use resources-energy, water, materials, and land more efficiently and effectively and they provide healthier environments for working, learning and living. By building green, developers can save money, reduce construction costs and creating sustainable buildings. Owners save money by reducing operation and maintenance costs and lowering utility bills. That's why New York is taking the lead to ensure that new buildings are designed and constructed to save energy and minimize their impact on the environment. New York is among the first states in the nation to offer a tax incentive program for developers and builders of environmentally friendly buildings." (Department of Environmental Conservation)
