6. Advantages of green building
4. Introduction
• Green building is also known as green
construction or sustainable building.
• Green or sustainable ,building is the practice
of creating and using healthier and more
resource efficient models of construction
,renovation, operation, maintenance and
demolition.
• Building is a form of hyper volume of niche.
5. Definition
• Sustainable building refers to both the structure
and a process that is more environmentally
responsible during the entire life cycle of a
building. These life cycle stages are:
1. site selection;
2. design;
3. construction;
4. operation and maintenance;
5. renovation;
6. demolition
6. Definition
• Green building are designed to reduce the overall
impact of the built environment on human health and
natural environment by:-
1. Efficiency using energy , water, and other resources.
2. Protecting occupant health improving employee
productivity.
3. Reducing waste , pollution, and environmental
degradation.
Looking at it more broadly, it could possibly be combined
under three main
headings:
1. Construction – site selection , design, construction
2. Lifetime use – operation and maintenance
3. Decommissioning – renovation and demolition
7. Objective
• The objective is to evolve a strategy to reduce energy use
in buildings so as to reduce energy costs and greenhouse
gas emission into the earth’s atmosphere.i.e
• Reduce the energy consumption i.e. Total use of non-
renewable energy (embodied and operational), Electrical demand, Usage of
renewable energy, Commissioning.
• Reduce the resource consumption i.e. materials use
(salvaged, recycled, bio-based and sustainably harvested, locally
produced, designed for disassembly, re-use, or recycling) ,Water
use , Building systems ,Occupant use•
• Reduce the environmental loadings include i. e. GHG
emissions, other atmospheric emissions, solid wastes storm water waste
water ,site impacts , other local and regional impacts.
8. Principles of green building design
• The green building design process begins with an
intimate understanding of the site in all its beauties
and complexities.
• An ecological approach to design aims to integrate the
systems being introduced with the existing on-site
ecological functions preformed by mother nature.
• These ecological functions provide habitat, respond to
the movements of the sun, purify the air as well as
catch, filter and store water. Designers can create
features in their buildings that mimic the functions of
particular eco-systems.
9. Green building design is an approach to a building that
minimizes the harmful effects on human health and
environment.
Design considerations:-
• Sustainable site planning
• Reduced site disturbance
• Waste water management.
• Storm water management.
• Landscape and Exterior Design to reduce
• heat islands.
• Light Pollution Reduction.
• Reduced vehicle dependence through vehicle parking
provision .
12. • Sustainable site planning
• Building Design optimization
• Energy performance optimization( energy efficiency)
• Renewal energy utilization
• Water and Waste management(water conservation )
• Solid waste management
• Sustainable building material and construction
technology
• Health, well being and environmental quality(inddoor
environmental quality)
17. Green building advantages:-
• Environmental advantages i.e reduced operational
energy, reduced water equipment, lesser volume of waste water pollution,
less water pollution, longer building life.
• Health and safety advantages i.e. enhance occupant
and health
• Community advantages i.e. improve a quality of life
• Economic advantagesi.e. by achieving synergies between
descipline and technologies( operating costs , lower utility costs,
Significantly , optimize life cycle economic performance.
