What is the difference between green building and sustainable building?

Green building is focused on improving the efficiency of construction and operations of buildings, as well as their overall environmental performance. Green buildings often aim to reduce their energy consumption, water consumption and support the use of renewable resources.

Sustainable building involves a broader range of factors, such as considering the environmental, economic and social impacts of construction over time. It focuses not just on the immediate impacts of construction, but also on the long-term impacts, including how the building will be maintained and used in the future.
