Components of Green Building Design It is widely accepted that indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency and materials efficiency are central components of green building design and construction. The GDC BUILDERS design team help our clients design Green buildings that provide healthy spaces, which improves the occupant’s quality of life, by removing environmental pollutants and recycling the air in the living spaces. GDC BUILDERS has the ability to construct green buildings that stress energy efficiency using energy-efficient designs and building materials.  Some of the factors that GDC BUILDERS green buildings stress are the use of renewable energy, efficient lighting load such as natural day lighting, installation of energy-efficient appliances, and well as insulated structure and duct systems. We also stress incorporating recycled, recyclable, sustainably managed, and locally available materials. GDC BUILDERS favor construction methods using green products because they have low levels of toxicity and high durability.
