6. The “Green Building” concept is
gaining importance in various
countries, including INDIA.
These are building that waste is
minimised at every stage during the
construction and operation of the
building , resulting in low costs ,
according to experts in the 6

energy, water, create less
waste, and are healthier to
live, work, or go to school in
than standard buildings.
Growth in green buildings
leads to less reliance on fossil

Wool brick
Obtained by adding
wool and natural
polymer found in
seaweed to the clay
of the brick.
37% More strength
than burnt bricks.
Resistant for cold
and wet climate.

Sustainable concrete
Crusted glass
Wood chips or
slag by product of
steel manufacturing.
Reduce the
emission of co2.

Solar tiles
Exist to simply
protect a building
They spend a
large a day
absorbing energy
from the sun.
15. WHY TO PREFER GREEN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION CONCEPT:-
To prevent erosion of soil.
Rainwater harvesting.
Use of solar energy
Reduction in usage of water.
Recycling of waste water and use of
world class energy efficient practices.
A similar concept is natural building which
is usually on a smaller scale and tends to
focus on the use of natural materials that
are available locally.
