What is Green Building?
 Green building (also known as green construction or
sustainable building)refers to both a structure and the
application of process that are ENVIRONMENTALLY
RESPONSIBLE and RESOURCE EFFCIENT throughout
a building life cycle :-from planning to design ,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and
demolition.”
 More than just installing solar panels on your roof
 Why is Green Building Important?

 A major contribution to the Global Warming

 25-40 % of Global Energy Consumption
 30-40 % of Solid Waste Generation
 30-40 % of Green House Gas Emisions
 Depletion of Natural Resources
 More Amount of Waste Produce
 No Optimization of Energy Efficiency
 Building Consume High Amount of Water Supply
New Project Planning
 Construction – Reduce the amount of waste
generated at a construction site
 Reduce/Reuse/Recycle
 Design – Building design details will help to reduce
construction materials, and energy/water
requirements when completed
 Material Selection – Careful selection of
construction materials will leave less of an
environmental impact
Building Design
Goal: To design the building so that it requires less
energy/water and is healthier for inhabitants when it
is complete and in use
 Air ducts for an efficient and healthy air flow
 Insulation
 Windows designed for maximum daylight
 Passive Solar Control
 Solar Cells
 Heat Exchanger for climate control system
 Location
Materials
Goal: Choose materials that have low environmental
costs and do not contribute to indoor air pollution
 Engineered Lumber (recycled and reclaimed material)
 Doors and Windows (energy and placement)

 Floor Coverings (recycled with no off-gassing)

 Roof Materials (Reflective and light)

 Energy Efficient Appliances

 Benefits

 Improve quality of life

 Conserve natural resources
 Generate less waste
 Optimize energy efficiency
 Improve occupant health and comfort
also helps in sewage treatment plan
Advantages of Green Building

1- Cost
2- Efficiency
3- Preserving infrastructure
Disadvantages of Green Building
1- Location
2- Availability
3- No air cooling features
