Analysis of Upgradation of a Convectional Building into Green BuildingIJSRD
The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, and increased Greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increased indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing Green Roof Technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water proofing membrane on top of the roof surface. This study emphasized to first analysis a convectional Building than upgrade it to a Green Building by the use of some Eco- Friendly materials. In addition to this by the use of some smart electrification work we can also conserve an ample amount of energy in a Convectional Building. Than by the use of different agencies which would provide checklist for Green Building we can rate a Convectional Building which is been upgraded into a Green Building..The objectives of this research were is Reduction in the indoor temperature of the room contributes reduction in energy consumption in the building. By the use of smart electrification an ample amount of energy can also be conserved. By the use of eco- friendly materials and waste products an ample amount of money can also be saved. Although by the up gradation of convectional building the initial cost will be high because of the use of some special material such as solar panel, rain water harvesting system but their application will return 10 times of what we invested
Future Trends - Recycling - Demolished Construction MaterialsBruce LaCour
This transition where many essentials become less abundant and more expensive won’t be accepted as permanent by many; however, those that make the transition swiftly will quickly move to many areas of recycling. These will be some of the business survivors I have referred to in earlier articles. One of the biggest recycling movements will be deconstruction and using recovered materials for different uses.

In educational facilities architects are called upon to achieve a wide range of objectives with limited budgets. An increasing number of designers are turning to wood-frame construction as a reasonable solution, it typically costs less while meeting all code and safety requirements. In addition, wood-frame construction offers advantages such as speed of construction, design versatility, and a light carbon footprint.

In this time of rising temperatures, abundant rain and socioeconomic imbalance, this seminar will suggest that green roofs are a powerful green building Best Management Practices (BMPs).
This presentation will outline the application, feasibility, benefits and challenges of green roofs in commercial application and put several widely debated questions into perspective: modular trays v. contiguous installations, upfront cost v. long-term investment, green roof v. other options, public access v. limited access, etc. Using local, national and international examples, she will explore green roof issues re: longevity, energy savings, stormwater management, maintenance, incentives and LEED points.
The three learning objectives are a) to understand green roof ROI for commercial buildings, b) to compare stormwater strategies of green roofs v underground cisterns and porous pavers and c) to compare green roofs to a solar roof or a white reflective roof.
Green roofs are a means to lowering the overall ambient temperature, reducing longterm costs on our buildings, sequestering CO2 and producing O2, improving the quality of life in our cities and boosting our green economy. Come learn more about green roofs at this seminar on May 7th.

Introduction:
The ecoRoof will combine innovation with practicality. The building is
currently seeking LEED Gold certification, and ecoREAL will work in an
integrated fashion with roofing experts specializing in weatherproofing,
structural engineers and green roof companies specialized in the bio-
regions native plant species to come up with the best design and function
for meeting the building overall green building goals. Water drainage,
low-impact design and aesthetic will be looked at simultaneously. At
each layer of the green roof sustainable design attributes will be assessed
for regional material (especially vegetation) and recycled content (such
as the HDPE geo-cells) in the drainage system along with triple bottom line
life-cycle assessments on how the project affects the context (such as
HVAC systems, and surrounding buildings). Since the building is on a zero-
lot, the green roof grant is critical for pursuing LEED certification relating to
both Sustainable Sites and Water Efficiency credits. The green roof would
augment Felton Properties commitment to retrofitting their existing
building stock to be more sustainable.

In the last five years, the term green roof has taken on ecological and social significance beyond its seemingly simplistic description, this term has become an epithet for the reduction of pollution and improving urban environment, for large scale mitigation of storm water runoff, and for maximum utilization of urban land.
Erbil the capital city of Kurdistan region is facing a lot of environmental problems such as waste water treatment, water supply, land preservation, air and noise pollution due to the increasing number of cars, in addition, interestingly recent statistics suggested that the percentage of green areas in Erbil is approximately 6.5%, while according to international standards 30% of urban areas should be green.
Green roofs infrastructure on the other hand promises to become an increasingly important solution for building owners and community planners which provides a significant numbers of social, environmental and economic benefits that are both public and private nature.
Research problem is the ambiguity of green roofs implementation techniques in the region and the goal is initiated to determine the obstacle and challenges of green roofs implementations in Erbil city as case field by analyzing international experiences and concluding Erbil’s green roofs criteria.

All Garland high-performance roofing solutions can be used individually, or in combination, to achieve varying levels of sustainability.
Sustainability is rapidly moving from the edge of high-end design towards acceptance
as a fundamental principle of design, as integral to the ordering of built environments
as form, order, and functionality. To paraphrase the Rocky Mountain Institute’s Primer
on Sustainable Building Design: Sustainability is not a style…it is nothing less than a
revolution in how we design, construct, and operate buildings.
4. 1
The 2003 Roof Longevity and Replacement Report, funded by the Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress.
High-performance roofing solutions such as this R-Mer Span structural standing seam roof system are expected to
last at least 30 years. With subsequent restorations, roof life can easily be extended an additional ten years or more.
In comparison, the average life expectancy of a commercial low-slope roof is less than 17 years.1
l o n g e v i t y
5. The fundamental principle underlying all sustainable design
solutions is longevity. When it comes to roofing, there is a
direct relationship between the survival of our planet and
the survival of a roof: the longer the service life between roof
replacements, the lower the impact on our environment.
Since our founding in 1895, roof life extension has been the driving force
behind Garland’s product research and development. We were one of the first
to introduce high-performance modified bitumen roofing solutions to North
America, and among the first to invest in vegetative roofing systems, the ultimate
in rooftop integrity and aesthetic versatility.
Today, we are among a handful of full-service roofing manufacturers to offer
rooftop solutions in every category of sustainable design. Our high-performance
roofing solutions, supported by our preventive maintenance programs, are
designed to last the life of your buildings.

7. The second most significant contributor to rooftop sustainability is reflectivity. It is
also among the easiest to implement, since it can be introduced during most stages
of life, to nearly any category of existing roofing. Garland retrofit roof-surfacing
solutions are available to upgrade the energy efficiency of almost any roof.
No two roofs are identical. Every aspect of rooftop performance, including reflectivity, is influenced by a
multiplicity of factors, from location and UV exposure to building-specific considerations such as orientation,
cooling requirements, and rooftop equipment. Although this makes measuring economic returns on
reflectivity investments a challenge, many studies have shown that reflective roofs typically require
40 percent less energy for cooling than dark roofs in comparable locations.
Keep in mind that your local Garland representative can help you identify energy-saving incentive programs
to help defray the initial costs of cool roofing solutions.
In a July 2004 California Energy Commission report (P500-04-046) prepared by Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, rooftop reflectivity upgrades achieved average daily energy savings ranging
from four to 50 percent, and peak demand savings ranging from six to 50 percent, depending on
building parameters and conditions. In all cases, the buildings were single-story and the energy-saving
upgrades consisted of white rooftop coatings.

9. There are two categories of vegetative roofing:
1 Extensive vegetative roofs, which use lighter-weight soils and thinner soil depths and can feature
sedums, grasses, herbs, and other smaller plants. Once designed and installed, such roofs can typically
be maintained by existing building maintenance staff.
2 Intensive vegetative roofs, which use heavier-weight soils and thicker soil depths to accommodate the
planting requirements of woody vegetation, shrubs, and even small trees. These roofs may require the
ongoing attention of landscape professionals, in addition to existing building maintenance.
Garland began partnering with a European manufacturer of vegetative roofing in 1995 and has spent
over a decade perfecting the design and manufacturing process. Every Garland vegetative roof is flood-
tested on site to guarantee watertight integrity.

Vegetative roofing solutions, commonly known as green roofs, are the pinnacle
of sustainable roofing, combining the widest range of ecological benefits with
aesthetic versatility, extending the architect’s palette to encompass a variety of
natural landscapes. Vegetative roofing systems significantly improve the natural
environment while enhancing the well-being of people in and around the building.

There are two major categories of rooftop solar roofing:
1 Crystalline solar panels have performed well in various applications for decades. The efficiencies of
crystalline panels have increased over the years, and the cost has decreased making them more cost
effective for consumers. Crystalline PV provides the greatest power output per square foot of any available
technology.
2 Thin film solar provides many advantages over conventional polycrystalline panels. Thin film solar is
generally more economical than polycrystalline panels; however, the power output is less than crystalline.
Thin film solar can be encased in glass - similar to polycrystalline panels, or it can be manufactured on a
flexible substrate which significantly reduces the weight of the installed system. The reduced weight and
flexible characteristics makes the flexible thin film solution ideal for many metal roof applications.
All Garland solar roofing solutions require minimal maintenance and provide reliable performance during
peak energy demand.
