An Introduction to
Green Building
& LEED
Green Buildings are …

Buildings or Homes that are more energy efficient

produce less waste & are healthier to be inside .

Hence reduce environment impact throught

building life cycle.
Green Buildings don’t
literally mean …
Buildings that are totally green .
Produce zero-emissions.
Totally environmentally friendly.
 Green Buildings are…
Sustainable buildings.

Sustainability is …
To meet the needs of present without compromising the ability
of future generations.
Reducing building impacts on human health & environment
thought.
Better sitting
Design
Operation
Maintenance & removal .
The complete building life cycle
 Working principal of
sustainability
Three pillars of Sustainability –
1. People ( Social responsibility )
Better living conditions for people
2. Planet ( Environmental stewardship)
Less impact on environment
3. Profit ( Economic prosperity)
Reduce the life cycle cost of the building
 What is the contribution
of buildings
Buildings directly contribute the following.
Climate change
Depletion of resources
Ozone deletion
Land pollution
Air pollution
 Green house gas emission
Can you guess which of following is biggest contributor to
Green house gas emission ?

Industries Transportations Buildings

Co2 emission by sector
Building fact

Buildings in United state accounts for

72% of electric consumption
39 % of energy use
44% of co2 emission
40% of raw material use
30% water output
14% of portable water consumption

Building statics

Green building can reduce

Energy use by 26% - 50 %
Lower maintenance coast by around 13%
Water use by 30 %
Solid waste by around 70%
Have 33% lower green house emission
Have 27% higher accupant satisfaction

What is Leed ?

Leed stand for “ Leadership in energy &environmental

design”
It’s provides third party verification of green building
First released in 1998
The U.S. green building council (USGBC) non profit
organization that promoted sustainability in how building
are designed , built & operate
USGBC is best known for devloping Leed green building
rating system
 How Leed works

Design methodology that encourage the participant

of all project team member through all phases of the
project
Mining leed credit require co-ordination & co-
operation between all decipline
LED Credit categories
Leed credit categories

Should not be on
Sensitive land
Prime farmland
Flud hazard zone
Near water bodies
Wet lands
Should be located in
Previously devoloped sites
Srounding density
Divers uses
Access to quality transit
Reduce parking footprint
Leed credit categories
Outdoor water use reduction
Reduce irregation
Use local plants which use less
water
Indoor water use reduction
Plumbing fixtures
Conventional fixtures use from 6-10
gpm
where as leed limit from 1.6 – 2.2 gpm
Building – water level metering
Cooling tower use
 Leed credit categories
Quality of the outdoor air plays an important
role in the ventilation strategy
Enhanced indoor air quality strategy
Co2 monitring
Environment Tobacco smoke control
Low emitting materials
Thermal comfort
Minimum acoustic performance
Interior lighting
Daylight
Quality view
MERV 13 RATED Filter

Enhanced refrigerant management
Renewable energy product
Green power & carbon oxides
Leed credit categories
INNOVATION
Encourage project to achieve exceptional or innovative
performance
At least one principal participant on the project team
must be a lead accredited performance with a specialty
appropriate for the project
DESIGN
Provide an incentive for the achievement of credits that
address geographically specific environmental , social
equality & public health priorities
