The document discusses the concept of green buildings and green building technology. It defines a green building as one that reduces negative environmental impacts through its design, construction, or operation, such as efficient energy and water use, renewable energy, waste reduction, and use of non-toxic and sustainable materials. Green building technology encompasses features like geothermal heating and energy-efficient appliances. The document notes that green buildings are needed in India due to the country's large and growing population and energy consumption, as well as increasing shortages of water in major cities.

structural design
• Building Planning:
• Proportion,
• orientation,
• site plan,
• working drawing Building layout,
• Architectural and structural working drawings,
• Standard codes as measure of controlling safety and
serviceability,
• Building bye-laws and their role in controlled
development of built-environment,
• Concept of Green Buildings

3. What is green building?
• A ‘green’ building is a building that, in its
design, construction or operation, reduces or
eliminates negative impacts, and can create
positive impacts, on our climate and natural
environment.
• Green buildings preserve precious natural
resources and improve our quality of life.

5. There are features of a green
building:
• Efficient use of energy, water and other
resources
• Use of renewable energy, such as solar energy
• Pollution and waste reduction measures, and
the enabling of re-use and recycling
• Good indoor environmental air quality

6. • Use of materials that are non-toxic, ethical and
sustainable
• Consideration of the environment in design,
construction and operation
• Consideration of the quality of life of
occupants in design, construction and
operation
• A design that enables adaptation to a changing
environment

7. • Any building can be a green building, whether
it’s a home, an office, a school, a hospital, a
community centre, or any other type of
structure, provided it includes features listed
above.

8. 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.

10. Why Do We Need Green Building
Technologies?
• We are a country of 1.2 Billion People and
counting …
• 31% percent of Indian population lives in
Urban Areas
• 700% increase in commercial energy
consumption in the last four decades and the
numbers are growing ….

11. • Energy consumption in India will touch 4
trillion units by 2030
• There is a shortage of average 225 million litre
water per day in major Indian Cities, and an
alarming 21 Indian cities are estimated to run
out of water by 2030.
