BUILDING THE FUTURE WITH INTENTION

1

WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING A green building is one which uses less water,

optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building.

2

Green buildingThe Design and

construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and its occupants. Green Buildings are the Eco-Friendly Structures .

The concept of Green Building Technology envision a new approach to save water, energy and material resources in the construction and maintenance of the buildings and can reduce or eliminate the adverse impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.

The fundamental objectives of green buildings are to conserve natural resources and increase energy efficiency. Increasing energy efficiency involves harnessing nature to minimize need for energy for operation and maintenance of the building.

A green building may cost more up front, but saves through lower operating costs over the life of the building. The green building approach applies a project life cycle cost analysis for determining the appropriate up-front expenditure.

Location :- a green building site should be selected based on how easily it can integrate into the existing electric, gas, water, and sewage utilities. Fitting into a city’s existing infrastructure so that a project has the smallest impact on the existing energy, water, sewage and road systems is the first point at which the green decision making process comes into play.

Day light:- Day lighting is the controlled admission of natural light—direct sunlight and diffuse skylight—into a building to reduce electric lighting and saving energy. Day lighting is an important element of sustainable design.

FACTORS of green buildingOrientation:- A green building should organically fit into the surrounding area, making best use of existing roads, sidewalks, alleys, site specific solar resources and so forth.

FACTORS of green buildingRenewable energy :- Renewable energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, water, and biofuels powered by feedstock.

Waste water management:-Wastewater management or the lack of, has a direct impact on the biological diversity of aquatic ecosystems, disrupting the fundamental integrity of our life support systems, on which a wide range of sectors from urban development to food production and industry depend.

Rainwater harvesting:- The main purpose of rainwater harvesting system to collect and store rainwater falling on the ground which can be further be used in the future.

Suzlon Energy Limited - Pune Suzlon’s global headquarter

in Pune - “One Earth” - ever since the facility has been LEED ‘Platinum’ rated and certified as an eco-friendly building by the Green Building Council.

Built to perfection on an area of 41,000 square meters (10.13 acres), One Earth can be counted as among the largest green building projects in India .

Biodiversity Conservation India Ltd (BCIL) - Bangalore

The company’s TZed homes in Whitefield, Bangalore has been certified as the first residential apartment in the world to be rated ‘Platinum’ under LEED.

TZed, which means “Towards Zero Energy Development” is a 2,49,000 sq.ft. green project spread across 5.5 acres and is designed to reduce lighting and energy by nearly 70 per cent.

No home at BCIL TZed Homes uses incandescent lamps, halogens and fluorescent tubelights

ITC Green Centre - Gurgaon It was the first 'Platinum'

rated building in India. Within a built-in area of 180,000 sq.ft.,

The building features alternative transportation facilities, storm water management system, solar thermal technology, reflective high-albedo roof paint, minimal exterior lighting, separate smoking rooms with exhaust system and zero-water discharge

More than 10% of the building materials are refurbished from other sites and 40% are from within 500 miles of the project site

The Druk White Lotus School - Ladakh• In this desert landscape of

severe climatic conditions, 3,500 meters above sea level, was born a modest school .

• This multi-award winning structure is the recipient of the Best Asian Building, Best Education Building and Best Green Building awards. It combines the best of traditional Ladakhi architecture with 21st century engineering excellence .

Traditional mud brick masonry is used internally to provide increased thermal performance and durability

CONCLUSION:

Non-renewable energy is expensive and unsafe but did you know that through green building we can save a lot of energy.

Before that, let's define first the meaning of green building (know also as green construction is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction.
