GREEN

BUILDING

GREEN BUILDING CONCEPT The ‘GREEN BUILDING’ concept is gaining

importance in various countries, including India. These are buildings that ensure waste is minimized at every stage during the construction and operation of the building, resulting in low costs, according to experts in technology.

A Green building is a structure that is environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout it’s life cycle.

GREEN BUILDING Green building also known as

green construction or sustainable building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier space for occupants as compared to conventional buildings. ``Green building technology should reach

all''

OBJECTIVE Green building are designed to reduce the

overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by :

Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.

Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity.

Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation.

GOALS OF GREEN BUILDING Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health. It often emphasizes taking advantage of renewable resources, e.g., using sunlight through passive solar, active solar, and photovoltaic techniques and using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens, and for reduction of rainwater run-off. Many other techniques, such as using packed gravel or permeable concrete instead of conventional concrete or asphalt to enhance replenishment of ground water, are used as well.

Fundamental principles :   Structure Design Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Materials Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement, Operations and Maintenance Optimization, and Waste and Toxics Reduction

Now a days, we should make a way to maximize our natural resources and also help our mother earth to get some relief since pollution is everywhere plus the global warming that we are all experiencing. 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.

The importance of this is it lessen the consume of energy and the pollution as well because the more we use nonrenewable energy the higher the risk of pollution.

DEMERITS OF GREEN BUILDING

TECHNOLOGY USED IN GREEN BUILDINGS• The technologies employed in green building

are constantly evolving and may differ from region to region, fundamental principles persist from which the method is derived:

• Energy Efficiency • Water Efficiency• Materials Efficiency• Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement• Operations andMaintenanceOptimization and • Waste and Toxics Reduction

GREEN ARCHITECTURE  Green architecture or Sustainable

design is the philosophy of designing a building that is in harmony with the natural features and resources surrounding the site. There are several key steps in designing sustainable buildings: specify 'green' building materials from local sources, reduce loads, optimize systems, and generate on-site renewable energy.

INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), was formed in

the year 2001 by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The vision of the council is to usher in a green building movement in India and facilitate India to become one of the global leaders in green buildings by 2015.

With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2). green built-up area in the country in the year 2003, today more than 1053 green buildings ( as on April 2011) with a built-up area of over 648,000,000 sq ft (60,200,000 m2). are being constructed all over India, of which 147 green buildings are certified and fully functional

IGBC RATING SYSTEM IGBC has developed green building rating

programmes to cover commercial, residential, factory buildings, etc.

Each rating system divided into different levels of certification are as follows:

‘Certified’ to recognise best practices. ‘Silver’ to recognise outstanding performance. ‘Gold’ to recognise national excellence. ‘Platinum’ to recognise global leadership.

GREEN RATING FOR INTEGRATED HABITAT ASSESSMENT GRIHA has been developed after a thorough study and

understanding of the current internationally accepted green building rating systems and the prevailing building practices in India. The team has researched on several international rating systems. A few team members were also sponsored under a study tour by USAEP (United States Asia Environmental Partnership) to understand the eco-rating systems prevalent in the US. The team has vast experience in providing design assistance to green buildings in the country and long and varied experience in carrying out energy conservation studies in existing hotels, offices, and other commercial building. The team has effectively utilized the several multi-disciplinary strengths and experiences of the colleagues at TERI to arrive at the tools that addresses cross-cutting issues in the design, development, and operation of a green building.

THE DRUK WHITE LOTUS SCHOOL - LADAKHIn this desert landscape of severe climatic conditions, 3,500 meters above sea level, was born a modest school that is adjudged as an outstanding example of sustainable, green, cost effective building development. 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 and is built with traditional materials such as locally excavated stone, mud bricks, timber and grass.

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

Key things to remember when building a Green building Green building do not have to be expensive! If you don’t want to spend the money, don’t! The idea is to get as much light into the green building as possible. Avoid covering the house with excess trees, coverings, etc… Don’t be afraid to break the mold! Each green building should be unique. The sun can’t do it alone! Even though the sun provides most of the energy, you must regulate the environment of your gree building with fans, thermometers, heating and cooling, etc… Don’t forget the H2O! If the keeper will be gone frequently or the greenhouse is too vast to water by hand, a watering system will be necessary to maintain the plants.

CONCLUSION This research identified the exciting developments

taking place on the technology front and analyzes their implications for intelligent and green buildings, highlighting examples of “best in class” buildings employing green and intelligent technologies. These buildings are dynamic environments that respond to their occupants’ changing needs and lifestyles. This research provided documented evidence to educate and influence end-users, building owners, architects, and contractors that a “greener building” can be achieved using intelligent technology and that this “greening” will provide a tangible and significant return on investment.
