# Green Buildings

### Key information

Did you know that nearly 50% of the world's greenhouse gases come from the built world? 

27% from building operations and 20% from building materials and construction, both of these areas need to have an operational overhaul.

Green buildings are those that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, through the full lifecycle - from design, to construction, to operation and finally with demolition.

PropTech companies, those that are using technology to the real estate industry, are finding many creative solutions to this problem.
