I noticed they are using the green drywall throughout the whole
building. I have seen that used in homes around tubs and showers, so
I assume it is more waterproof. However, since they are using it
throughout, is it more fireproof, or what? They are just using 1/2".

Besides application differences, what is the actual difference in the
material the stuff is made from? Is the core still gypsum? Is the
"paper coating" different (besides color)?

It's just regular drywall with a water resistant paper. No other special
characteristics.

My guess is that they are using it because the paper is slightly
more resistant to mold than the paper in regular drywall.
