 WHY DESIGN GREEN?
• BUILDINGS ARE A
MAJOR SOURCE OF
POLLUTANTS THAT
CAUSE URBAN AIR
QUALITY PROBLEMS
AND CONTRIBUTE TO
CLIMATE CHANGE

12/08/2021
 ECOLOGICAL BALANCE
• RESOURCES OF THIS PLANET ARE NOT
INFINITE.
• MISUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
RESOURCES HAS A BEARING ON THE
VERY EXISTENCE OF HUMAN RACE.
• EACH LIVING BEING ON EARTH IS
DEPENDANT ON THE REST.
• SINGLE SHARED EXPERIENCE IS OF
LIVING ON THE SAME, VERY SMALL
EARTH.
• ALTERATIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH
CARE AS IT EFFECTS EACH INHABITANT.

12/08/2021
 RIGVEDA HYMN
• SKY IS LIKE FATHER
• EARTH IS LIKE MOTHER
• SPACE AS THEIR SON
• UNIVERSE CONSISTING THE THREE
• IS LIKE A FAMILY
• ANY KIND OF DAMAGE DONE TO ANY ONE
OF THE THREE
• THROWS THE UNIVERSE OUT OF BALANCE.

12/08/2021
 HISTORY
• TILL 18TH CENTURY, THE BASIC
PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND
BUILDING SCIENCES WERE PART OF
ACCEPTED BELIEFS AND RELIGIOUS
PRACTICES AS THE MESSAGES OF
RELIGION AND THE STATE WAS
COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE
ARCHITECTURE.

12/08/2021
 INDIAN SCIENCE
• INDIAN WAY OF LIFE RECOG
NIZED AIR, FIRE,
ATMOSPHERE, EARTH &
WATER AS ‘PANCHABHUTHAS’,
WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR
MAKING LIFE MEANINGFUL.
TO KEEP THE
PANCHABHUTHAS FREE FROM
DETRIMENTAL CHANGES IS AS
MUCH ESSENTIAL AS
PROTECTING THE RIGHT OF
LIFE.
12/08/2021
 SYSTEM SUSTAINED
SINCE VEDIC TIMES MAIN MOTTO WAS TO
LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE.
MAIN IDENTIFIED COMPONENTS OF NATURE
ARE WORSHIPPED IN OUR RELIGION.
THESE COMPONENTS KEEP ON
INTERACTING TO MAINTAIN MUTUAL
BALANCE –ECOLOGICAL BALANCE
THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE SUSTAINS
MANKIND

12/08/2021
 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

AS SCIENCE PROGRESSED IN,

THE BELIEFS WERE FREED FROM
RELIGION & WERE BASED ON THE
REASON AND SCIENTIFIC
EXPLORATIONS.

12/08/2021
 PRESENT SCENERIO
A LOT OF BASIC PRINCIPLES WERE
• FORGOTTEN & IGNORED DURING
THIS TRANSITION
FROM RELIGION TO SCIENCES OR
• THE TRANSITION FROM FAITH TO
REASON.

12/08/2021
 THE WAY OUT
• AS WE GAIN MORE POWER & FREEDOM
DUE TO ADVANCEMENT OF
SCIENCES,IT BECOMES OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO REINFORCE THE
BASIC PRINCIPLES & IF THEY ARE
LOST, RE-ESTABLISH THEM ON THE
BASIS OF SCIENCE & REASON WHICH
WERE EARLIER BASED ON THE FAITH &
RELIGION.

 SUSTAINABILITY
• DEVELOPMENT WHICH MEETS
THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT
WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE
ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATION
TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.
• LEAVE THE PLACE IN THE BETTER
CONDITION THAN WHEN YOU
OCCUPIED IT.

12/08/2021
SUSTAINABILITY IS CONTINUED

ABILITY OF A SOCIETY,

AN ECOSYSTEM, OR ANY SUCH

INTERACTIVE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION

WITHOUT EXHAUSTING KEY RESOURCE AND

WITHOUT ADVERSELY

AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.

12/08/2021
 • EVERYTHING IS INTER-DEPENDENT AND
INTER-RELATED
As a result of
neglecting
A FEW BASIC TRUTHS:

12/08/2021
 BIO-CLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE
• USING
ENVIRONMENTALLY AND
CLIMATICALLY SENSITIVE
FORMS & MEANS OF
CONSTRUCTION.
• ALTHOUGH SUCH
APPROACH HAS HIGHER
START-UP COSTS, IT
PRODUCES LOWER LIFE-
CYCLE ENERGY COSTS &
HEALTHIER
ENVIRONMENT.
12/08/2021
SOLAR-PASSIVE ARCHITECTURE
• ENERGY CONSCIOUS DESIGN
THROUGH ‘PASSIVE MEANS’
IS ENERGY COLLECTION,
THROUGH NATURAL MEANS,
USE OF DAYLIGHT PASSIVE
HEATING & COOLING.

CREATING STABLE &

COMFORTABLE THERMAL
CONDITIONS FOR THE
OCCUPANTS.
12/08/2021
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIO-CLIMATIC AND ECOLOGICAL
DESIGN

• Bio-Climatic is the passive low-energy design approach

using energies of the climate to create comfort conditions.

• Bio-Climatic design is not ecological design in its entirety,

but an intermediate stage.

• Ecological Design is about interconnected-ness & inter-

dependencies in the biosphere &its ecosystem.

12/08/2021
 GREEN ARCHITECTURE
• With the application of ecological
principles, make a significant
contribution towards a sustainable
future.
Green architecture is designed,
built, renovated, operated or
reused in an ecological and
resource –efficient manner.

12/08/2021
 GREEN BUILDINGS

• SUBSTANTIALLY
REDUCE THE
NEGATIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS
ASSOCIATED WITH
BUILDINGS

12/08/2021
 GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
• DEVELOPED BY U.S GREEN BUILDING
COUNCIL (USGBC) IN 1984.
• IT PROVIDES STANDARDS FOR
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE
CONSTRUCTION.
• A PERFORMANCE ORIENTED SYSTEM
• POINTS ARE EARNED FOR SATISFYING
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA.

12/08/2021
 ADVANTAGES
• MORE THAN 40% REDUCTION IN POTABLE
WATER CONSUMPTION.
• 30% REDUCTION IN OVERALL ENERGY
CONSUMPTION.
• ENHANCES OCCUPANTS COMFORT.
• REDUCES OPERATING COSTS.
• POTENTIALLY INCREASES OCCUPANT
PRODUCTIVITY.

12/08/2021
 INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
(2003)
o WORLD HAS RECOGNIZED OUR AGE OLD
GREEN PRINCIPLES.

(AGAIN EARTH-WORM IS IMPLANTED TO THE

AGRICULTURAL FIELDS.)
GR 4.jpg

WHY SHOULD WE FORGET THEM?

THE IGBC’S PURPOSE IS TO:
o INTEGRATE BUILDING INDUSTRY
SECTORS
o LEAD MARKET TRANSFORMATION
o EDUCATE OWNERS AND PRACTIONERS
12/08/2021
 ARCHITECT’S ROLE
• ARCHITECTS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE
DIFFERENCE, THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN
JUST ARRANGING MATERIALS AND PUTTING
LIFE INTO THE PIECE OF ART.
• IT SHOULD TOUCH CONSUMER’S HEART.
• CONSUMER IS NOT MOVED MEANS,
ARCHITECTS DON’T SHARE COMMON BASE
WITH COMMON MAN.
• GREEN DIMENSION RECOGNIZES A COMMON
BASE BETWEEN ALL CONCERNED.

12/08/2021
 ARCHITECTURE
• ARCHITECTURE IS ONE OF THE MOST
DEPENDABLE REFLECTIONS OF A
CIVILIZATION’S PHILOSOPHICAL
FOUNDATION.
• ARCHITECTURE HAS THE QUALITY
WHICH ALLOWS IT TO RISE ABOVE
ORDINARY BUILDING.

 GREEN PRINCIPLES
• TO DEMONSTRATE A
GREEN
ARCHITECTURE, IT
IS NECESSARY TO
FRAGMENT THE
HOLISTIC GREEN
APPROACH.
• THERE ARE 6
PRINCIPLES THAT
COULD BUILD INTO
A GREEN
ARCHITECTURE.
12/08/2021
 DESIGN IN ACTION
 PRINCIPLE 1: CONSERVING
ENERGY

 PRINCIPLE 2: WORKING WITH

CLIMATE

 PRINCIPLE 3:MINIMIZING NEW

RESOURCES

12/08/2021
 DESIGN IN ACTION

 PRINCIPLE 4: RESPECT FOR USERS

 PRINCIPLE 5: RESPECT FOR SITE

 PRINCIPLE 6: HOLISM

12/08/2021
 1. CONSERVING ENERGY
• Architecture should be brought to existence so
as to minimize the need for fossil fuels to run
it.
• Past societies accepted this necessity.
• Recent proliferation of materials &
technologies have lost the basis.
• Construction of buildings should be for mutual
benefits.

12/08/2021
 2. WORKING WITH CLIMATE
• BUILDING FORM &
THE DISPOSITION OF
BUILDING ELEMENTS
• CAN ALTER INTERNAL
COMFORT
CONDITIONS,
REDUCTION OF
FOSSIL FUEL
DEMANDS THROUGH
THE USE OF
INSULATION IN THE
BUILDING FABRIC.

12/08/2021
 3.MINIMIZING NEW RESOURCES
• There are not sufficient
resources in the world for
the built environment to
be constructed , a new for
each generation.
• A building should be
designed so as to minimize
the use of new resources &
at the end of its useful life,
to form the resources for
other Architecture

12/08/2021
 4.RESPECT FOR USERS
• RESPECT FOR ALL
RESOURCES THAT
CONTRIBUTE TO
MAKING A BUILDING
WILL NOT EXCLUDE
HUMAN BEINGS.
• MATERIAL & PROCESS
SHOULD BE LITTLE
POLLUTING &
DANGEROUS TO
INDIVIDUAL WORKER
OR THE USER.

12/08/2021
 5.RESPECT FOR SITE
• A BUILDING WILL
‘TOUCH-THIS-
EARTH LIGHTLY’.
• AN ATTITUDE TO
THE INTERACTION
OF A BUILDING AND
ITS SITE THAT IS
ESSENTIAL TO A
GREEN APPROACH.

12/08/2021
 6.HOLISM
• ALL THE GREEN
PRINCIPLES,
ACCORDING TO
PREVAILING
CONDITIONS
NEED TO BE
EMBODIED IN A
HOLISTIC
APPROACH TO
THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT.

12/08/2021
 • What are the impacts of
unsustainable design and
building practices ?

INCREASED

cause environmental problems – rather it is the way we
choose to meet them.
