Green construction or sustainable building refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
Green building, or sustainable design, is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and materials, and of reducing impacts on human health and the environment for the entire lifecycle of a building. Green-building concepts extend beyond the walls of buildings and include site planning, community and land-use planning issues as well.
The growth and development of our communities have a large impact on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources.
Sustainability in built environment: Green Building Index (GBI) Platinum Cert...ESD UNU-IAS
The document discusses sustainability in the built environment and green building principles and certification systems. It provides information on:
- The objectives of green building, which include efficiently using resources, protecting health, and reducing pollution.
- Fundamental green building principles like siting and design efficiency, energy efficiency, water efficiency, and indoor environmental quality.
- Green building rating systems like LEED and Malaysia's Green Building Index (GBI), which assess sustainability in areas like energy use, materials, water, and indoor air quality.

The document discusses green buildings and their benefits. Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact through efficient use of resources like energy and water, minimizing waste and pollution. They aim to be energy efficient, water efficient, healthy for occupants, and minimize waste. Green building certification systems evaluate buildings' performance in areas like site planning, materials used, and energy efficiency. Popular systems in India include LEED and TERI-GRIHA which rate buildings at different certification levels. Green buildings provide tangible benefits like energy and water savings and intangible benefits like improved air quality and occupant health and well-being.
Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact through efficient use of resources, protection of occupant health, and reduction of waste and pollution. They emphasize using renewable resources and techniques like passive solar, green roofs, and permeable surfaces. The Indian Green Building Council promotes green building practices in India and has developed rating systems to evaluate buildings. Notable green building projects in India include the ITC Green Centre in Gurgaon and Nokia's corporate office, which have received LEED Platinum certification.
LEED is an internationally recognized green building program.
It provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
What is LEED?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-based, market¬-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. From individual buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities, LEED is transforming the way built environments are designed, constructed, and operated. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED addresses the entire lifecycle of a building.
Participation in the voluntary LEED process demonstrates leadership, innovation, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. LEED provides building owners and operators the tools they need to immediately impact their building’s performance and bottom line, while providing healthy indoor spaces for a building’s occupants.
LEED projects have been successfully established in 135 countries. International projects, those outside the United States, make up more than 50% of the total LEED registered square footage. LEED unites us in a single global community and provides regional solutions, while recognizing local realities.
How it works
For commercial buildings and neighborhoods, to earn LEED certification, a project must satisfy all LEED prerequisites and earn a minimum 40 points on a 110-point LEED rating system scale. Homes must earn a minimum of 45 points on a 136-point scale. Learn more
Learn about LEED
LEED is developed, implemented and maintained with the help of the LEED Committees. Focusing more on the application of LEED, the LEED International Roundtable identifies ways LEED can better meet the needs of global users. Together, these groups include representation from a variety of industries across the country and around the globe.

Why LEED?
LEED-certified buildings are designed to:
• Lower operating costs and increase asset value
• Reduce waste sent to landfills
• Conserve energy and water
• Be healthier and safer for occupants
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• Qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities
LEED is good for business. LEED certification boosts your bottom line, makes you more competitive, limits risk, and attracts tenants.
Credit library
Building projects earn points for satisfying green building criteria. Within each of the environmental LEED credit categories, projects must satisfy particular prerequisites and earn additional points. The number of points the project earns determines the level of LEED certification the project receives. Projects must earn at least 40 points to achieve basic certification.
Green buildings aim to minimize environmental impact, maximize health and comfort, and reduce operating costs over the lifetime of the building. The principles of green building include minimizing resource consumption and pollution throughout construction and use. Potential benefits include reduced lifetime costs, improved energy efficiency, healthier indoor environments, and increased occupant productivity. While initial costs may be higher, the operating cost savings over the building's lifetime typically outweigh the initial investment. Green building practices can be applied to both air-conditioned and non-air conditioned structures.
Modular buildings support sustainable construction practices through the following: reliance on recycling & reuse, reduced demand for raw materials, less site disturbance and increased energy efficiency. Learn more about modular construction’s efforts to promote the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program.
