2. Definition:
A green building is one which uses less water,
optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources,
generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for
occupants, as compared to a conventional building.

3. Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact
of the built environment on human health and the
natural environment by:
 Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources.
 Protecting occupant health and improving employee
productivity.
 Reducing waste, pollution and environmental
degradation.

4. Tangible Benefits:

6. How to increase energy efficiency:
Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy use.
By natural resources: By the materials used:
1. Solar Energy
2. Geothermal Energy
3. Wind Energy
4. Water Energy
• By using high-
efficiency windows
and insulation in walls,
ceilings, and floor.

16. This green architecture is a
regular cycle that moves around
