## How to Calculate Green Building Savings
Green buildings use less energy, water, and resources than conventional buildings.
### Formula
**Energy Saved = Building Size * Baseline EUI * Energy Savings %**
**Baseline EUI**: ~15 kWh/sq ft/year for commercial, ~6 kWh for residential
### Green Building Benefits
- **Energy**: 25-50% reduction from insulation, HVAC, lighting
- **Water**: 20-50% reduction from low-flow fixtures, rainwater
- **Waste**: 50-75% construction waste diversion
- **Health**: Improved indoor air quality and daylight

Ejemplo Resuelto
A 5,000 sq ft green office saving 30% energy and 40% water at $0.15/kWh.
- Baseline energy: 5,000 * 15 = 75,000 kWh/year
- Energy saved: 75,000 * 30% = 22,500 kWh
- Annual savings: 22,500 * $0.15 = $3,375
- CO2 reduced: 22,500 * 0.92 / 2,204.6 = 9.39 metric tons
