History of Green Building:- Since the beginning of time, people have improved their dwellings with the use of sustainable building. Ancient construction techniques involved using passive systems such as wind power, water power, water reuse, renewable energy and solar design, inventions such as windmills, wind towers, aqueducts, hydraulic mines, natural power sources, solar orientation, and cliff dwellings became crucial to health and well being. These creations set the new standard for living. Professionals like LEED Green Associate help in integrating these features into buildings. Over time, the population became so crazed over the new technologies available and soon forgot that the environment we live in is finite. The new inventions built to improve living conditions eventually endangered our health once again.   Today, we build green with the help of organizations like the USGBC and the CAGBC to stop the environment from deteriorating and give back as much as possible, New
