•

Climate change and resulting disasters,sustainability concerns – some of the burningissues today

• Time we realized the impact of humanactivity on environment

• “Green issues” are assuming paramountimportance in all scenarios

• Its not enough if we respond

•

What is it that is required?



World is moving towards‘Green’….

• The tide is changing

– Emergence of 3R’s

– Cradle to Cradle approach

• Industries, communities, lifestyles,perspectives are changing……towards ‘Green’.



Construction Industry inIndia

• Resource hungry, great scope forimprovement in economic andenvironmental terms

•

India’s construction industry is growing at9.2 percent / year (World average 5.5percent) and contributes to 10 percent of GDP

•

The predicted growth rate is alsosuggestive of high resource consumption,a scenario marked by finite resources andinflated prices.



Green Buildings can restoreorder to the chaos

• What is a green building?

– Also known as green construction or

sustainable building, refers to a structureand using process that is environmentallyresponsible and resource-efficient throughouta building's life-cycle:

•

From siting to design, construction, operation,maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

• Adds to economy, utility, durability, and comfort.



Green building benefits

• Green buildings are designed to reduce theoverall impact of the built environment onhuman health and the natural environmentby:

– Efficiently using energy, water, and otherresources

– Protecting occupant health and improvingemployee productivity

– Reducing waste, pollution and environmentaldegradation



Green Building Implications

• Green buildings typically address thefollowing concerns: – Siting and structure design efficiency

–Energy efficiency

– Water efficiency

– Materials efficiency

– Indoor environmental quality enhancement

– Operations and maintenance optimization

– Waste reduction



How to decide if a building isGreen?

Green Building Certification –

Many countries have developed their ownstandards for green building or energy efficiencyfor buildings. Some of the major buildingenvironmental assessment tools currently in use

include:•Australia: Nabers [8] / Green Star [9]•Brazil: AQUA [10] / LEED Brasil [11]•Canada: LEED Canada [12] / Green Globes [13]•China: GBAS•Finland: PromisE•France: HQE

•Germany: DGNB [17] / CEPHEUS•Hong Kong: HKBEAM•India: Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)[20] / GRIHA [21•Italy: Protocollo Itaca [22] / Green Building Counsil Italia• Japan: CASBEE•Korea: KGBC

• Resource efficiency.

• Green corporate image.

•

Healthy and safety of building occupants.• Enhances occupants comfort.

• Improves productivity of occupants.

• Incorporates latest techniques and technologies.



Green Building Issues

Cost and payback • Most criticized issue about

constructing environmentally friendly

buildings is the price. – Green buildings cost a premium of <2%,

but yield 10 times as much over the entirelife of the building.



Green Building Issues•

The stigma is between the knowledge of up-front costvs. life-cycle cost

– Projected that different sectors could save $130 Billion onenergy bills.

– Also, higher worker or student productivity can be factored

into savings and cost deductions. – Studies have shown over a 20 year life period, some green

buildings have yielded $53 to $71 per square foot back oninvestment.

– Certified buildings command significantly higher rents, saleprices and occupancy rates as well as lower capitalizationrates potentially reflecting lower investment risk.



Conclusion

• Benefits of Green Buildings are proven.

• Green Building movement is gatheringmomentum the world over.

• Efforts are being made from all quarters;government, stakeholders, businesses, toboost the movement.

•Swift and widespread acceptance andadoption remains.
