Green architecture, also known as sustainable or eco-friendly architecture, aims to minimize environmental impact and prioritize human health. It utilizes renewable materials and energy-efficient systems to safeguard air, water, and earth. Some key aspects of green architecture include energy-efficient lighting and appliances, water conservation, passive solar design, and use of non-toxic and recycled materials. The document then discusses green building standards and certifications in India such as LEED, IGBC, and GRIHA, and provides an example case study of the LEED Platinum-certified The Leela Palace hotel in New Delhi, which incorporates various green design features.

2.  Green architecture, or green design, is an
approach to building that minimizes harmful
effects on human health and the environment.
The "green" architect or designer attempts to
safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-
friendly building materials and construction
practices.
WHAT IS GREEN ARCHITECTURE AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
Also Known As:
Sustainable development, eco-design, eco-friendly
architecture, earth-friendly architecture, environmental
architecture, natural architecture

3. Characteristics
 Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and
cooling
 Energy-efficient lighting and appliances
 Water-saving plumbing fixtures
 Landscapes planned to maximize passive solar energy
 Minimal harm to the natural habitat
 Alternate power sources such as solar power or wind
power
 Non-synthetic, non-toxic materials
 Locally-obtained woods and stone
 Responsibly-harvested woods
 Adaptive reuse of older buildings
 Use of recycled architectural salvage
 Efficient use of space

4.  Green building refers to a structure and using
process that is environmentally
responsible and resource-efficient throughout a
building's life-cycle
 Green building design involves finding the
balance between homebuilding and the
sustainable environment.
 The Green Building practice expands and
complements the classical building design
concerns of economy, utility, durability, and
comfort.
WHY A GREEN BUILDING?

5.  Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has licensed
the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Green Building Standard from the U.S.
Green Building Council and is responsible for certifying
LEED-New Construction and LEED-Core and Shell
buildings in India.
 Indian Green Building Council, formed by
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in 2001, is
continuously striving towards wider adoption of eco-
friendly and green building concepts in the Indian
industry.CII Green Business Centre building in
Hyderabad is one of the green buildings in India. There
are three primary Rating systems in India:
 GRIHA
 IGBC
 BEE
 EDGE
 LEED

6. LEEDCERTIFICATION
 LEED, or Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design, is a green
building certification program that
recognizes best-in-class building
strategies and practices. To receive
LEED certification, building projects
satisfy prerequisites and earn points to
achieve different levels of certification.
Prerequisites and credits differ for each
rating system, and teams choose the
best fit for their project

8. LEED AND INDIA
 Triggering off the Green building movement in India is the first Platinum
Green Building in India: CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre in
Hyderabad as per the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) rating system. With a beginning of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) green
built-up area in the country in the year 2003, as on date, 1,724 projects in
India have registered under the IGBC Rating programmes, with a total
footprint of over 1.2 billion sq ft
 LEED 2011 for India-Core & Shell can be used for projects where the
developer controls the design and construction of the entire core and shell
base building including MEP/FP systems, but has no control over the design
and construction of the tenant fit-out. Such type of developments include:
Retail Malls, IT Parks, etc.
The council, now in its tenth year of operation, has crossed milestones, as
highlighted below:
 Over 1 billion sq ft (built-up space) of registered green buildings in India
 Over 1,300 strong IGBC member organizations
 Organizing Green Building Congress - India’s annual flagship event on
green building, since 2001

14. A green building is one which uses less
water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves
natural resources, generates less waste and
provides healthier spaces for occupants, as
compared to a conventional building.

15. OBSERVATION WHILE LIVE
STUDY
 The Palace is Designed in a smart way i.e.
Keeping in mind the direction of sunrise and
sunset.
 Even in the ballrooms energy efficient lights
were used.
 The total amount of energy consumed by
this building is just half as compared to other
5-star hotel.
 Green environment is present everywhere.
