The document discusses several green building strategies and materials that are more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional construction practices. Some of the strategies mentioned include using recycled and sustainable materials for insulation, paints, tiles and furniture to reduce environmental impacts. Installing green roofs is also highlighted as a way to reduce stormwater runoff and energy costs. The document advocates considering the entire lifecycle of materials from sourcing to disposal to promote recycling and sustainability in the building industry.

5. Use appropriate building sites
Preserve open space
Reduce slump
Develop brown fields
Safeguard endangered species
Restore damaged environments
Design to optimize sun , wind & light

8.  Paints are, by and large, one of the largest areas of
construction material that can have undesirable
environmental effects. Oil and latex paints can wreak
havoc on water treatment facilities if they find their
way into drains and are difficult to otherwise dispose
of properly. Milk-based paints are becoming a popular
alternative to these harsh chemical paints and feature
an ingredient list that excludes any carcinogenic.

10.  Finally, both plastic and metal have been used in
furniture for years. Since both materials are very
recyclable, they have the potential to be as eco-friendly
as other solutions. This is only if the materials are,
indeed, recycled, however.
 When you look for furniture of any kind consider not
only where the material came from (recycled, organic,
etc) but how easily it can be disassembled and recycled
after you are ready to replace it. In order to keep the
cycle of reusable materials circling, we all have to
consider where our consumed material is going; not
just where it’s been.

12.  Traditional insulation is manufactured from virgin,
harsh materials that are also difficult to dispose of
properly. Newer insulation developments include
insulation materials that are made of recycled
materials and are bio-degradable. These materials
include newspaper, old blue jeans, and recycled
fiberglass. Proper insulation can make or break the
energy efficiency of the home as well and these
“alternative” insulation materials have been
thoroughly tested to meet or exceed the effectiveness
of more outdated, harmful materials.

Green or vegetated roofs are becoming increasingly
common. These roofs reduce the impact
that sprawling development has on storm water
problems, especially in urban areas. With a
green roof, a portion of the rain is absorbed by
the plants and soil, and over time is returned to
the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration
similar to an open lawn or field. Using
plants or vegetation that are low maintenance
and drought resistant decreases the upkeep of
the roof. Green roofs also reduce heating and
cooling costs, filter pollutants, and block sound

18.  While most tiles are used from materials such as
ceramic and glass, many forward-thinking companies
are taking recyclable materials and turning them into
tiles that are nothing short of works of art. These
materials include ceramic and glass as well, but also
materials such as granite and aluminum. Any time that
recycled materials are purchased, it promotes the
market and helps it grow to hopefully become the
leading manner that these materials are produced.

21.  Using of recycled water
 Reducing the wasting of water
 Generating self electricity
 Planting wind mills
 Or by using the solar energy
 Getting materials in the local areas itself which is
needed for the construction of our plaza
 It will reduce the cost on transportations

22.  MERITS
Lower operating costs (by 30%- 40%)
Improve occupant health
Reduce pollution
Reduce water usage (by 20%- 30%)
Eliminates creation of waste
Reduce power consumption (by 40%- 50%)
