Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) expands and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, and provides healthier space for occupants as compared to a conventional building. Market estimates suggest that India will be adding 11.5 million homes every year thus, making it the world’s third-largest construction market by 2020. With rapid urbanization and strong economic growth, the construction industry is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in India providing employment to nearly 18 million people. This will be beneficial for the people who are really conscious about the environmental impact of the buildings and believe in energy conservation. The economy is the major factor in any type of construction work, especially for residential houses and more specifically when they are situated in the megacity in a developing country like India. There is a need of concentrating on a Green Home, which is one of the most important and one of the discussed topics throughout the globe, in the age of global warming and climate change worldwide.

2. WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING ??
• Green building is environmentally-conscious
construction and operation of a building structure.
• A green Building uses less energy, water and other
natural resources creates less waste & Green House
Gases and is healthy for people during living or working
inside as compared to a standard Building. Another
meaning of Green Structure is clean environment,
water and healthy living.
WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY ??
• A Green building is nothing more than a building which is
built using reusable materials and other materials which
make the building efficient and environmentally friendly.
And Green building technology typically covers
everything from geothermal heating to energy-efficient
appliances.
3. Green Building Construction
presents one big solution to this
unsustainable growth. By now we all
know, a green building is a structure
which is designed, built, renovated,
operated, or reused in an
environmentally friendly and
resource-efficient manner. In
addition to that, these buildings are
designed to meet certain critical
objectives like:
1.Protecting Occupant Health
2.Improving Employee Productivity
3.Conservation Of Energy, Water,
And Other Fast Depleting Resources
4.Reduce The Use Of Energy, Water,
And Other Fast Depleting Resources
5.Lower Carbon Footprint
6.Reducing The Overall Impact To
The Environment
7.Better Indoor Air
NEED OF GREEN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY ??
4. GREEN BUILDING CONCEPT AND ARCHITECTURE PLANNING ??
• To have Green Building Concept, we should look
after the following : Optimum use of Energy or
power
• Water conservation
• Solid and Water Waste management, its
treatment and reuse
• Energy efficient transport systems
• Efficient Building System Planning etc.
• If all Buildings in urban areas were made to adopt
green Building concepts, India could save more
than 8400 MW of power which is enough to light
half of Delhi or 5.5 lakh homes a year according to
estimates by TERI. A green building depletes very
little of the natural resources during its
construction and operation.
5. AIM OF GREEN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY ??
• The aim of a green building design is to minimize
the demand on non-renewable resources and
maximize the utilization efficiency of these
resources when in use and utilization of renewable
resources.
• Architects & planners should start thinking green in
the planning of Buildings. Integrating living &
vegetation with architecture is fast gaining
popularity around the world and now a new term
"Vegitecture" has been coined for it and it is
becoming common. Thus the Architect may think to
bring concrete jungles to green jungles through
"Vegitecture". This is similar to the scenario shown
in figure here.
LEED INDIA CONCEPT ??
• The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Designed and started. The Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED – India) system is called Green Building Rating System. It is an
internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance
green building.
LEED certified buildings utilize less toxic materials, low-emitting adhesives & sealants, paints,
carpets, and composite woods, and indoor chemical & pollutant source control
6. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS EFFECT ??
CONTRIBUTION OF CONCRETE TOWARDS GREEN HOUSE GASES??
• Among the primary concrete making materials, the emission of CO2 is largely attributable to cement
production. It is estimated that modern cements contain on an average of about 84% Portland
cement clinker and the clinker manufacturing process releases about 0.9 ton of CO2 per ton of
clinker. The Concrete Industry World wide consume more than 3.5 billon tons of cement, so the
carbon contribution of this industry is obviously quite large. Thus minimizing concrete consumption
through innovative architecture and structural designs is one way to save on the use of cement.
Another way is to use smart concrete mixture proportioning approach. This can be done through
following approaches:Minimize concrete consumption through innovative architecture and Structural
Design methods.
• Use smart concrete mixture or i-crete as proportioning approach to save on cement in concrete mix.
• Consume less Cement in concrete / mortar mixtures.
• Consume less Clinker in Cement making by adding Pozzolana like fly ash or GGBFS in Cement or
Concrete.
• Climate is changing fast globally because of increased energy consumption and thus increase Green
house gases (GHG) like CO2. This gives rise to global Warming. The World produces about 0.6 tones /
year / per capita CO2. India is the 5th largest producing GHG. This impacts the climate change
resulting in:Water stress and reduction in the availability of fresh water due to potential decline in
rainwater.
• Threats to agriculture and food scarcity
• Shifts in area and boundary of different forest and threat to biodiversity with adverse implications for
forest dependent activities.
• Sea level rising on costal areas and effect on agriculture & habitation.
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF GREEN BUILDING ??
GREEN BUILDING PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS ??
• Building and Construction activities worldwide consume about 3 billon tons of raw materials each
year. Using green building materials and products promotes conservation of dwindling non
renewable resources.
Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather than nonrenewable resources and are
environmentally responsible because impacts are considered over the life cycle period.
• Depending upon project-specific goals, an assessment of green materials may involve an evaluation
of one or more of the following parameters:
1.Resource efficiency
2.Energy efficiency
3.Affordability
4.Possible Recycling of Material and Waste generation
5.Water conservation
6.Effective Indoor air quality
• Building construction and its upkeep for livable conditions requires huge energy in lighting, air-
conditioning, operation of appliances etc. Green Building i.e. energy efficient building is the one
which can reduce energy consumption by at least 40% as compared to conventional building. The
cost of constructing energy efficient building is estimated to be 15 – 20% higher as compared to
conventional building without energy efficiency. However, this is more than compensated over the
period of time i.e during life cycle cost and operation & living. Using green building materials and
products, promotes conservation of non renewable resources internationally. In addition, integrating
green building materials into building projects can help reduce the environmental impacts associated
with the extraction, transport, processing, fabrication, installation, reuse, recycling, and disposal of
these building industry source materials.
8. 1. Resource Efficiency: It can be accomplished by utilizing materials that meet the following
criteria.
Resource efficient manufacturing process: Products manufactured with resource-efficient
processes including reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste (recycled, recyclable and or
source reduced product packaging) and thus reducing greenhouse gases.
Local availability: Building materials, components and systems found locally or regionally will
save energy and resources in transportation to the project site.
Salvaged, refurbished, or remanufactured: It avoids the material from disposal and renovating,
repairing, restoring, or generally improving the appearance, performance, quality, functionality
or value of a product.
Durable: Materials that are longer lasting or are comparable to conventional products with long
life expectancies.
2. Energy Efficiency: It can be maximized by utilizing materials and systems that meet the various
criteria that help reduce energy consumption in buildings and facilities as indicated above.
3. Affordability: It can be considered as the cost for the building product when life-cycle costs are
comparable to conventional materials or as a whole it is within a project-defined percentage of
the overall budget
9. 4. Possibility of Recycling of Material and resultant Waste Generation: It should satisfy the
following:
Recyclable Content Products with identifiable recycled content and minimum waste generation,
including post use content with a preference for post consumer use content should be considered.
Reusable or recyclable Select materials that can be easily dismantled and reused or recycled at the
end of their useful life.
5. Water Conservation It can be judged from utilizing the materials and systems that help reduce
water consumption in buildings and conserve water in landscaped areas. This is similar to
chemical admixture used in concrete to reduce water content.
6. Effective Indoor Air Quality It should enhance by utilizing such material and meet the following
criteria:
Low or non-toxic Materials that emit few or no carcinogens, reproductive toxicants or irritants as
demonstrated by the manufacturer through appropriate testing.
Minimal chemical emissions Products that have minimal emissions of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). Products that also maximize resource and energy efficiency while reducing
chemical emissions.
Low-VOC assembly Materials installed with minimal VOC-producing compounds, or no-VOC
mechanical attachment methods with minimal hazards.
10. SOME STEPS FOR MATERIAL SECTION
Material selection can begin after the establishment of project-specific environmental goals. The
environmental assessment process for building material involves three basic steps .
1.Survey
2.Evaluation
3.Selection
1. Survey: This step involves gathering of all technical information about the material which can be
indentified, including manufacturers' information such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS),
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) test data, product warranties, source material characteristics, recyclable
content data, environmental, performance and durability information. In addition, this step may also
involve investigating other issues like building codes, government regulations, building industry
performance, model green building product specifications etc. Such survey will help in identifying
the full range of the project's material options.
2. Evaluation: This step involves confirmation of the technical information, as well as filling in
information gaps. For example, the evaluator may request product certifications from manufacturers
to help sort out possible exaggerated environmental product claims. Evaluation and assessment is
relatively simple when comparing similar types of building materials using the environmental
criteria. However, the evaluation process is more complex when comparing different products with
the same function. Then it may become necessary to process both descriptive and quantitative
forms of data.
3. Selection: This step often involves the use of an evaluation matrix for scoring the project-specific
environmental criteria. The total score of each product evaluation will indicate the product with the
highest environmental attributes. Individual criteria included in the rating system can be weighted to
accommodate project-specific goals and objectives.
