FIRST CERTIFIED PROJECT BENEFITS GREEN BUILDING IN SOUTH AFRICAMeanwhile, it's also reported that "green building" is set to get easier, and cheaper, in South Africa as the local building industry gains experience and becomes increasingly geared to deliver more environmentally sustainable commercial developments. The comment came from the team involved in the first certified green building in South Africa , as reported by Engineering News. Early adopters of green building are pushing the transformation of the industry, and, importantly, the materials supply chain. Speaking at the roof wetting ceremony of the Nedbank phase two office building in Sandton, which is the first building in South Africa to be certified under the Green Star rating tool, GLH & Associates Architects senior executive partner Xavier Huyberechts told Engineering News Online that on the Nedbank project, "everything had to be invented, negotiated, and found overseas".
