The next technique that I am using to achive LEED

CONCEPT certification is green roof.

A green roof is a vegetative layer grown on a rooftop of a

1. First material that I am using is AAC blocks for the Green roofs reduce the temperature of the building and the
construction of south wall. As we know that most of the heat is surrounding air in multiple ways: Another technique for site management is
trapped by south wall after the roof hence south wall will be 1.Shading: They provide shade to the top of a building porous and permeable pavements.

and solar field.
Solar power is power produced by solar energy: the light
and heat from the sun.
Solar energy is one of cleanest, renewable energy sources
available, and is the largest current energy source for the
globe. Solar power can be used for multiple applications,
which can be characterized as either active solar
applications or passive solar applications

Also I have placed all the building blocks in such a way that
longer span is facing south to minimize heat gain or loss at
various temperatures hence reducing the need of additional
appliances and machineries to maintain thermal comfort.
Native plantation have been recommended
throughout the site to minimize the
maintenance of plants as they can grow
easily in their native soil.
