Sustainable Construction in 2025: What is Sustainable Construction?

What is it: RSMeans Data, a division of Gordian, presents a comprehensive guide to sustainable construction practices as of 2025. The article outlines how sustainability must be integrated across the building lifecycle—from design and construction to operations and eventual decommissioning. Highlighted approaches include the adoption of renewable materials, energy-efficient systems, water conservation strategies, and reduced waste outputs. Notably, it emphasizes adherence to certification programs such as LEED and BREEAM. The newly launched 2025 Green Building Costs Book provides actionable cost data, helping stakeholders plan and implement environmentally sound practices with financial confidence.
