What does a green factory mean?

So, from the outset itself, one of the project goals has to be a green factory. By designing a green factory, we take small steps to ensure that the environment is not polluted. One of the steps for a green factory is using a renewable source of energy for the factory. Some states mandate that the rooftop solar system has to be a part of the factory.

The benefits of a green factory

The benefits of a green factory are both tangible and intangible. While reduced project cost, energy efficiency, reduced operational expenses, green certification are some of the tangible benefits. On the other hand, the intangible benefits include better air quality, reduced heat island effect, and reduced waste. Additionally, the branding also improves due to the green factory.

It is essential to have a green factory that can give multiple benefits.

To conclude, the onus of designing a green factory lies with the architect for industrial projects. Additionally, the architect must also impress upon the clients to have a green factory.
