Green building practices are getting a boost with every passing day. Buildings are making the best use of the resources, which in turn reduces the impact of construction not only on the environment and human living. Taking advantage of renewable resources, installing solar panels, photovoltaic systems, green roofs etc. New York City is also following the green path.
The city has completed installation of solar panels on ten buildings and gone beyond limits to increase its solar power production, which will now help to power several households in the city. These panels are installed on many buildings including schools and firehouses. The city is in this manner paving way for a cleaner tomorrow, by installing solar photovoltaic systems, which are an efficient approach to use the city’s resources to promote and support the maximum use of renewable energy sources in the entire region.
In addition to this, it will also ensure a clean, consistent and reasonably priced power supply. Bloomberg, the city’s mayor is also trying hard to be environmentally friendly in his own personal life by installing a green roof over his home and painting its roof white in order to decrease global warming, which will be beneficial for him as well as for the environment of the city, making it a better place for the inhabitants.
