INTRODUCTION
1.1 General :

Buildings have a tremendous impact on the environment, using about 40% of natural
resources extracted in industrialized nations consuming virtually 70% of electricity and 12% of
potable water producing between 45% and 65% of the waste disposed in our landfills.
Additionally, they are responsible for a massive amount of harmful emissions, accounting
for 30% of greenhouse gases, due to their operation, and an additional 18% induced indirectly by
material exploitation and transportation.
Simultaneously, the bad quality of indoor environments may result in health issues to employees
in office buildings, hence, reducing efficiency.
Also Building construction consumes 40% of the raw stone, gravel, and sand used
worldwide annually, and 25% of the raw timber. From the environmental impact perspective,
the building sector has a significant effect on the entire environment.
Residential buildings represent a large percentage of the built environment, and the selections
of materials and layouts are necessary for the general sustainability. Considerable initiatives have
been carried out by the research community worldwide, in order to find alternative sustainable
building materials and low technology methods, which result in a more sustainable and affordable
construction adhering to the comfort standards needed today. Adopting green building
materials is an excellent approach to meet this target. Selection of construction materials which
have minimum environmental burdens is useful in the sustainable development of a country.
Therefore, building related contribution to environmental issues is large and therefore essential.
Selecting environmentally preferable building products is an excellent method to boost a
buildings environmental performance.
While there is obviously an immediate need for new technologies to optimize the application
of low-impact building materials, it is also true that there are several technologies or systems,
currently in use. Many have originated from an earlier influx of sustainable housing activism
and development, prompted by the 1970s environmental movement and then boosted by the
force for better energy efficient buildings. their strategy has been referred to as effective in
spreading ideas about best practice to dedicated green advocates, builders and individuals
seeking for an alternative means of determining the material-selection process, very few such
systems are available that support the effective and substantial use of local and recycled
building materials in the design-decision making phase of a building. The objective of the study is to
possible explore and highlight how sustainable building material can contribute to lessen the
impact of environmental degradation, and create healthy buildings which can be sustainable to
the occupant as well as our natural environment.
1.2 Definition:
A 'green' building is a building that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates
negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and natural environment. Green
buildings preserve precious natural resources and improve our quality of life.

1.3 Goals of Green Building:
Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in
creating greener structures, the common objective of green buildings is to reduce the overall impact
of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by: Efficiently using energy,
water, and other resources.
● Life cycle assessment.

● Siting and structure design efficiency.
● Energy efficiency.
● Water efficiency.
● Materials efficiency.
● Indoor environmental quality enhancement.
● Operations and maintenance optimization.
● Waste reduction.
The beginning of the twenty-first century has ushered in the era of green buildings. Normal
buildings use energy inefficiently, generate large amounts of waste in their construction and
operation, and emit large quantities of pollutants and greenhouse gases. In contrast to conventional
buildings, green buildings seek to use land and energy efficiently, conserve water and other
resources, improve indoor and outdoor, air quality, and increase the use of recycled and renewable
materials. While green buildings still constitute a tiny subset of existing buildings, their numbers are
increasing rapidly.
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a
structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient
throughout a building’s life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance,
renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the
engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements

the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Green building
brings together a vast array of practices, techniques, and skills 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
equipment, and using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens, and reduction of rainwater
run-off. Many other techniques are used, such as using low-impact building materials or using
packed gravel or permeable concrete instead of conventional concrete or asphalt to enhance
replenishment of ground water.
While the practices or technologies employed in green building are constantly evolving and
may differ from region to region, fundamental principles persist from which the method is derived:
siting and structure design efficiency, energy efficiency, water efficiency, materials efficiency,
indoor environmental quality enhancement, operations and maintenance optimization and waste and
toxics reduction. The essence of green building is an optimization of one or more of these principles.
Also, with the proper synergistic design, individual green building technologies may work together
to produce a greater cumulative effect. On the aesthetic side of 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.

CHAPTER NO .- 2
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 The present Status and Challenges of Green Building:
● Daniel M. Kammen (2019)
To deal with the various problems the Construction industry are facing, the concept of
green buildings (GBs) has been gradually shaped and Put forward all over the world, and
green building rating systems (GBRSs) have been developed. The concept of GBs covers a
wide range of elements, and its definition is constantly updated as The construction industry
develops. This paper compares the development of backgrounds and Statuses of green
building development in various countries. It also presents an overview of the Green
building development situation within these countries, summarizing two influences for GB
Development: one external and the other internal. External factors include GB development
policy Support, economic benefits, and certification schemes. Internal factors are the
development and Application of GB technology, the level of building management, and how
users interact with the GB Technology. Currently, 49 worldwide green building standards
and application have been sorted out, Including 18 standard expert appraisal systems.
● Jian Zuo (2013 ):
Green building is one of measures been put forward to mitigate sign Cant impacts of the
building stock on the environment, society and economy. However, there is lack of a
systematic review of this large number of studies that is critical for the future endeavor.
The last decades have witnessed rapid growing number of studies on green building. This
paper reports a critical review of the existing body of knowledge of researches related to
green building. The common research themes and methodology were ideated. These
common themes are the de Nation and scope of green building; quanta Cation of bene St.
of green buildings compared to conventional buildings; and various approaches to achieve
green buildings. It is found that the existing studies played predominately focus on the
environmental aspect of green building. Other dimensions of sustainability of green
building,
● Magnus Bonde (2016):
These studies focus on three distinguishable Research questions: “Do green buildings have
a superior indoor environment?”, “Does energy Efficiency add value?”, and “What prevents
profitable energy-efficiency measures from being Undertaken?” The key result is that

although there is a small impact on Building-related income, this does not seem to translate
into a higher market value. This result is Probably due to the value premium being too small
or to the real-estate appraiser not putting an Emphasis on energy efficiency when
appraising real estate.
2.2 Green Building Materials:
● Shiva ji :
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 sitting to design, construction, operation,
maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This practice expands and complements the
classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Although
new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in
creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are designed to
reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural
environment.
● .Akshay B. Mokal :
In India various tremendous environmental problem are rising in construction industry due
to leading urbanization. Increase In demand of houses which lead to consumes more
energy, resources and raw materials which are responsible for the rise in Carbon content in
air and which are harmful to environment and human health. Nowadays we are facing
various Environmental impacts due to which we need to build with more sustainable
materials which will lead to reduction of impacts On environment. In cities like Pune we are
already noticing the change in weather patterns, hotter summers, shorter winters,
Insufficient monsoons. So taking the preservation of the city’s ecology and finite energy
resources seriously is now more than Important. Developers need to find better, more
sustainable methods of designing their buildings in order to reduce their Negative
environmental impact.
● John Wiley & Sons, 2010 :
GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS THE ULTIMATE USER’S MANUAL TO GREEN BUILDING

MATERIALS To properly select and specify green building materials, successful architects
need authoritative, real-world advice on how to select and use nontoxic, recycled, and
recyclable products, and how to integrate these products into the design process in order
to capitalize on the many practical and economic advantages of “going green.” Green
Building Materials, Third Edition is the most reliable, up-to-date resource to meet today’s
green building challenges—from reducing waste and improving energy efficiency to

promoting proper code compliance and safeguarding against liability claims. Written by two
nationally known experts on green building methods and materials, Green Building
Materials, Third Edition offers in-depth, practical information on the product selection,
product specification, and construction process.
● P De Luca 2017 :
The paper’s intent is to give an overview of the current state of the art and research in the
field of bio-building, gathering information on the environmental impacts of these
innovative materials and listing the benefits that can be obtained with their use.The
findings of this study support the growing importance of green building as a component of
the whole construction market and provide a benchmark against which to measure future
changes in the industry over time.
● Chi P Hoang 2009 :
In addition, green materials often contain recycled and/or bio-based contents.

Consequently, some green materials may undergo significant oxidation with potential for
reduction of indoor ozone. In this study, 48-L electro-polished stainless steel chambers
were used to study the reactive consumption of ozone by ten common green wall, flooring,
ceiling, and cabinetry materials (perlite-based ceiling tile, unglazed ceramic tile, natural
cork wall-covering, aluminum tinted cork wall-paper, bamboo, UV-coated bamboo, wheat
board, UV-coated wheat board, sunflower board, and UV-coated sunflower board). Ozone
removal was quantified in terms of deposition velocity and reaction probability.

CHAPTER- 3
PRINCIPLES OF GREEN BUILDING

DESIGN
An ecological approach to design aims to integrate the systems being introduced with the
existing on-site ecological functions preformed by mother nature. These ecological functions provide
habitat, respond to the movements of the sun, purify the air as well as catch, filter and store water.
Designers can create features in their buildings that mimic the functions of particular eco-systems.
Species that thrive in natural ecosystems may also utilize habitats created in man-made structures.
Creating new habitat on structures in urbanized areas is especially important to support bio-diversity
and a healthy ecosystem
Design considerations:
● Planning
● Reduced site disturbance Waste water management.
● Storm water management.
● Landscape and Exterior Design to reduce heat islands.
● Light Pollution Reduction.
● Reduced Car dependence through car parking provision.

Principles of green building :
● Optimize Site Potential

● Optimize Energy Use
● Protect and Conserve Water
● Optimize Building Space and Material Use
● Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
Fig. Conceptual Drawing Of Green Building

3.1 Water Systems :
Water – often called the source of life – can be captured, stored, filtered, and reused. It provides a
valuable resource to be celebrated in the process of green building design. According to Art Ludwig
in Create an Oasis out of Grey water, only about 6% of the water we use is for drinking. There is no
need to use potable water for irrigation or sewage. The Green Building Design course introduces
methods of rainwater harvesting, grey water systems, and living pools.
Fig. Conceptual Drawing Of water system in green building
3.2 Natural Building:
One-half of the world’s population lives or works in buildings constructed of earth. Straw bale
construction is now gaining in popularity and Many jurisdictions in California have adopted the
Straw bale Building Code. Green Building Design favors natural building for its local availability,
ease of use, lack of toxic ingredients, increased energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
3.3 Passive Solar Design :

Passive solar design refers to the use of the sun’s energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces.
The building itself or some element of it takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in its
materials to absorb and radiate the heat created by exposure to the sun.
Fig. Solar passive features
Solar passive features :

A. Shape and form of buildings.
B. Orientation of the facades.
C. Design of Building plan and section.
D. Thermal insulation and thermal storage of roof
E. Thermal Insulation and thermal storage of the exterior walls.
3.4 Green Building Materials :
Before choosing building materials we can find out where the materials come from, how they
have been harvested, what the ingredients are, whether they are salvaged, reused or refurbished. We
can research how they will perform over their lifetime of the building.
3.5 Living Architecture :
We take for granted that our environment – like our bodies – can metabolize nutrients and waste.
Living Architecture focuses on these processes, integrating ecological functions into our buildings to
catch, store, and filter water, purify air, and process other nutrients. Living Architecture also address
eosinophilia, the documented health benefits associauted with being in touch with living systems in
our built environment.
3.6 Optimize Site Potential :

Whether designing a new building or retrofitting an existing building, site design must integrate
with sustainable design to achieve a successful project and begins with the proper site selection,
including the existing building’s rehabilitation. The location, orientation, and landscaping of a
building all affect local ecosystems, transportation methods, and energy use.
According to the WBDG Sustainable Committee, “The site of a sustainable building should
reduce, control, and/or treat storm-water runoff. If possible, strive to support native flora and fauna
of the region in the landscape design.”
3.7 Optimize Energy Use :
Improving the energy performance of existing buildings is important to increasing our energy
independence. Operating net zero energy buildings is one way to significantly reduce our
dependence on fossil fuel-derived energy.
3.8 Protect and Conserve Water :
Freshwater resources in the United States are increasingly becoming a scarcity. A sustainable
building design and construction is one that uses water efficiently to minimize the impact that affects
freshwater stock. Additionally, sustainable construction and building design should encourage the
practice of recycling water on certain on site projects when possible.
3.9 Optimize Building Space and Material Use :
As the world population continues to grow; the use of natural resources (and the demands for
them) continues to increase. A sustainable building is designed and operated to use and reuse
materials in the most productive and sustainable way across its entire life cycle.
Utilizing sustainable materials can also help to minimize environmental impacts such as global
warming, resource depletion, and toxicity. According to wbdg.org, “environmentally preferable
materials reduce impacts on human health and the environment, and contribute to improved worker
safety and health, reduced liabilities, and reduced disposal costs.”
3.10 Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) :
The indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of a building has a significant impact on occupant
health, comfort, and productivity. Among other attributes, a sustainable building maximizes
daylighting, has appropriate ventilation and moisture control, optimizes acoustic performance, and
avoids the use of materials with high-VOC emissions.
Although all buildings require different measures, HVAC modifications can go a long way
toward improving commercial air quality.
3.11 Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices :
Building owners face unique challenges to meet increasing demands for new or renovated
sustainable building designs that are balanced with safe, secure, and productive environments.
Through collaboration, engineers, architects, and other site contractors can specify materials and
systems that simplify operational practices and reduce maintenance requirements. On-site and within
the facility, these practices not only aim to reduce water and energy requirements, and require less
toxic chemicals use, but are also cost-effective and reduce life-cycle costs.

● Optimize life-cycle economic performance Productivity advantages: Improve occupant performance.
● Estimated $29 –168 billion in national productivity losses per year.
● Providing a healthy workplace improves employee satisfaction Increase retail sales with day lighting .
4.3 Disadvantages of green building :
● The initial building cost, which can be more expensive than conventional buildings.
● Funding for projects from banks hard to get since a lot of the technology and methods
are still relatively new.
● Green construction materials are not always as readily available as traditional materials
● Similarly, finding artisans and service providers specializing in green design can be more
challenging than procuring traditional suppliers.
● Green building can be more complex, and thus more expensive and time-consuming to
build.
● Some ‘green’ materials are not really ‘green’ – you’ll need to do your research to ensure
that you are truly making an impact.
4.4 Objectives Of Green Building :
● The aim of green building design is to minimize resources, maximize the reuse,
recycling and utilization of renewable resources.
● It maximizes the reuse, recycling, and utilization of renewable resources.
● It maximizes the use of efficient building material and construction practices, optimizes
the use of onsite resources and use of renewable sources of energy, use efficient
waste management practices and provide comfortable and hygienic indoor working
conditions.
● Low Impact : Minimize impact on natural environment
● Energy Efficient : Reduced Energy usage and Water usage
● Healthy Protect : occupant health and increase productivity
● Minimize waste: Designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes waste,
pollution, and environmental degradation.
4.5 Green Building Features :
● Structure design efficiency

● Energy efficiency
● Water efficiency
● Materials efficiency
● Waste and toxic reduction
4.5.1 Structural Efficiency:

● Its main intensions is to minimize the total environment impact associated with all life-
cycles.
● It has the largest impact on cost and performance of building.
4.5.2 Energy Efficiency:

● The strategy is to reduce the operating energy use.
● Renewable energy through solar power, wind power, hydro power and biomass can
significantly reduce the environmental impact of a building.
● It is estimated that around 40% of the energy used on the planet is by buildings. By far the majority
of energy is generated using non-renewable sources such as coal, gas and oil. Being non-renewable,
these resources will get depleted and, as they become scarcer, become more expensive and more

difficult to extract. The process of converting these fossil fuels into energy in most cases produces
greenhouse gases (GHGs) which contribute to global warming. Energy efficient buildings contribute
significantly to lowering humanity’s overall energy requirements, which in turn reduces the building
sector’s carbon footprint
4.5.3 Water Efficiency :

● Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality is the key objectives of
sustainable building.
● The use of non-sewage and greywater for on- site use such as site-irrigation will minimize
demands on the local aquifer.
● Fresh water is increasingly being recognized as a scarce resource and water systems are becoming
increasingly polluted. It is estimated that buildings consume 40% of all fresh water that is used. This
water is used for drinking, cooking, sanitation, cleaning and for the industrial processes that take
place in many buildings. Appropriate water harvesting, recycling and conservation can make a
Examples are lumber from forest, renewable plant materials like bamboo and straw and
other products that are non-toxic, reusable, etc.

● To Recycle The Resources

CHAPTER-5
MATERIALS AND THEIR USES

5.1. Green Building Materials used in Construction :
1) Earthen Materials
2) Wood
3) Bamboo
4) SIPs
5) Insulated Concrete Forms
6) Cordwood
7) Straw Bale
8) Earth Bags
9) Slate/ Stone Roofing
10) Steel
11) Composites

15) Natural Clay
16) Non- VOC paints
17)Natural Fiber Floor
18) Fiber Cement
19) Stone
20) Cork

5.1.1. Earthen Materials:
● Earthen materials like adobe, cob, and rammed earth are being used for construction
purposes since yore.
● For good strength and durability- chopped straw, grass and other fibrous materials etc.
are added to earth.
● Even today, structures built with adobe or cob can be seen in some remote areas.

5.1.2. Engineered Wood :
● Wood is one of the most famous building materials used around the world.
● But in the process of conversion of raw timber to wood boards and planks, most
percentage of wood may get wasted.
● This wastage can also be used to make structural parts like walls, boards, doors etc. in
the form of engineered wood.
● Unlike solid wood, engineered wood contains different layers of wood, usually the
middle layers are made of wood scraps, softwoods, wood fibers etc.

5.1.3. Bamboo:
● Bamboo is one of the most used multipurpose and durable materials used in
construction.
● These trees grow faster irrespective of climatic conditions. So, it makes it economical
as well.
● They can be used to construct frames or supports, walls, floors etc.
● They provide a good appearance to the structures.
5.1.4.SIPs :
● Structural insulated panels (SIPs) consist of two sheets of oriented strand boards or flake
board with a foam layer between them.
● They are generally available in larger sizes and are used as walls for the structure.

● Because of their large size, they need heavy equipment to install however, they provide
good insulation.
5.1.5. Insulated Concrete Forms :
● Insulated concrete forms contain two insulation layers with some space in between
them. This space contains some arrangement for holding reinforcement bars, after
placing reinforcement, concrete is poured into this space.
● They are light in weight, fire resistant, low dense and have good thermal and sound
insulation properties.

5.1.6 Cordwood:
● If wood is abundantly available and easily accessible to the site of construction,

cordwood construction is recommended.
● It requires short and round pieces of wood which are laid one above the other, width
wise, and are bonded together by special mortar mix.
● They are strong, environmental friendly and also give good appearance to the structure.


5.1.7. Straw Bale:
● Straw bale is another green building material which can be used as framing material for
building because of good insulating properties. They can also act as soundproof
materials.
● Non-load bearing walls of straw bale can be used as fill material in between columns
and, in beams framework is recommended.
● Since air cannot pass through them, straw bales also have some resistance to fire.
5.1.8. Earth Bags:

● Earth bags or sand bags are also used to construct walls of a structure.
● These types of structures can be seen in military bases, near banks of water resources
etc.
● Generally, bags made of burlap are recommended but they may rot very easily and
hence, polypropylene bags are used nowadays.
5.1.9. Steel:
Steel roof panels and shingles are highly durable and they can be recycled again and again.
So, these are the best choices for green roofing materials.

5.1.10. Thatch:
● Thatch is nothing but dry straw, dry water reed, dried rushes etc.
● These are the oldest roofing materials which are still in use in some remote locations of
the world and even in cities for aesthetic attractions.
● It is cheaply available for roofing and a good insulator too.


4.1.11. Composites:
● Roof panels made of composite materials such as foam or cellulose layer sandwiched
between two metal sheets or two plastic sheets also come under green building
materials.
● They are light in weight, inexpensive and provide good insulation for the structure and
save energy.
5.1.12. Natural Clay:

● Plastering of walls can be done using natural clay rather than other gypsum-based
plasters.
● Natural clay plaster with proper workmanship gives a beautiful appearance to the
interior.
5.1.13. Non-VOC paints:

● Non-VOC paint or green paint is recommended over VOC containing paints.

● Presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in paint reacts with sunlight and nitrogen
oxide resulting in the formation of ozone which can cause severe health problems for
the occupants.
● If non-VOC paint is not available then try the paint with very low-VOC content in it.
5.1.14. Natural Fiber Floor :

● Natural occurring materials like bamboo, wool and cotton fiber carpets, cork etc. can
be used for flooring purposes.

5.1.15. Fiber Cement :
● Fiber cement boards are made of cement, sand and wood fibers.
● For exterior siding, fiber cement boards are good choice because of their cheap
price, good durability and good resistance against fire.
5.1.16. Stone :

● Stone is a naturally occurring and a long-lasting building material. Some Stone structures
built hundreds of years ago are still in existence without much abrasion.
● Stones are good against weathering hence they can be used to construct exterior walls,
steps, exterior flooring etc.

CHAPTER NO.- 6
CONCLUSION
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.
Green buildings have greater payoffs than the cost to construct them making them a good
investment over using standard building sites and materials. Many components play into the
construction and design of a green building including location and building materials. Green
buildings, whether they are homes, offices, or schools, are built to reduce pollution, conserve energy
used, and to more efficiently use renewable resources. Several practices that are now used by those
“going green” were used long ago. Ancient Greeks built homes structured to attract solar heat during
the winter months. Green buildings (aka sustainable buildings) ideas became much more popular
during the 1990s. In 1992 the first green building program began in Austin, Texas, the following
year the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) was founded and in 1998 they launched the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) which is a green building rating system
and certification program that is nationally accepted. Location is important when constructing a
green building and many factors are to be considered when choosing a construction site.
Environmentally sensitive areas are not most desirable when searching for a location. The most
beneficial spots to build upon are former parking lots, shopping centers, and/or factories. Windows
should also strategically be placed to bring in daylight. A new technology that is now used frequently
instead of standard windows is dual glazed windows (they reduce heat gain in the summer and heat
loss in the winter).
