What is Green Consulting?

Green consulting is a phrase used to describe a number of counseling services aimed at helping businesses become more environmentally friendly or "green". Green Consulting is a relatively new area and its popularity increases rapidly because more businesses see how the Greens of their business practices as a route to attract new customers or maintain old customers. In some cases, a green company can also help businesses get financial credits for being ecologically sustainable. For example, a green consulting company may have at hand experts in photovoltaics and other alternative energy systems that can deploy on the web to propose an additional alternative energy system or a system that does not use any fossil fuels. In addition to helping companies with its image, it can also provide financial savings in the long run, and most of the Green CPosterous Companies promote their services as measures to save money and ethical decisions. Many ecological porosDenan companies offer retreats and workshops to which businesses can send their employees to learn everything from simple energy saving tips, to proper recycling of office materials, to covering the philosophy of protection and re -use.

Green consulting can also include alternative business ideas that are not necessarily green, in itself. For example, a number of green consulting companies offer Feng Shui and help companies rework their office to have a better flow. Others provide consultations with nutrition awareness and help to switch food systems in larger institutions to make healthier options that can also be better for the environment.

One particularly large green counseling sector has built around the Leed certification system in recent years. A rating of green buildings in the field of energy and environmental desiThe GNU (LEED) was created by the US Green Building Council Council and acts as a rating service for buildings so that outsiders know how well the buildings are in terms of different sustainability. The LeED system has become the most widespread evaluation system for buildings and many businesses that focus on building new structures focus on one of the different levels of evaluation. Green consulting companies specializing in Leed can help these businesses in deciding on design to get the highest rating they can.

The

Leed evaluation system looks at the quality of the internal environment, what materials have been used and where they came from, water efficiency, space sustainability, energy consumption and air quality, and the overall innovation proven in design. There are four levels of evaluation, from a simple certification that requires twenty -six points, to platinum evaluation, which requires fifty -two points.

In fact, there are few things on which Green Consulting cannot be within the Alte sphereRate buildings and business practices apply. Companies range from individual consultants, usually specializing in transition to small to medium -sized enterprises to help them streamline their green techniques, to massive groups with hundreds of employees, covering all areas of green expertise.
