this is a very useful presentation on green building that contains so many wonderful details and valuable information gathered from various sources. do make use of it!!

2. "A hundred years after
we are gone and
forgotten, those who
never heard of us will
be living with the
results of our actions.”
Oliver Wendell Homes

3. SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
MANKIND – LIVING & INTERACTING
WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT IN A
WAY THAT CAN CONTINUE, SO
? THE ART & SCIENCE OF BUILDING
(CREATIVE & TECHNICAL)
THAT MANKIND & THE
ENVIRONMENT REMAIN HEALTHY &
HAPPY
RESOURCES
WASTE
ENERGY

4. SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE IT?
-ENERGY EFFICIENCY
-SMALL IS GOOD
-PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN
-ACTIVE SOLAR DESIGN
-HIGH LEVELS OF INSULATION
-EFFICIENT HEATING OF AIR & WATER
-THERMAL MASS
-VENTILATION
-EFFICIENT LIGHTING
-WASTE MANAGEMENT
-THROUGH DESIGNING IN MODULES
-RECYCLING WHILE BUILDING
-GREY WATER SYSTEMS
-LOW FLOW TAPS & SHOWERS
-BUILDING MATERIALS
-USE OF RENEWABLE, NON TOXIC MATERIALS
-USE OF RECYCLABLE/RECYCLED MATERIALS
-LOCALLY SOURCED TO REDUCE TRANSPORT
WHY IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT THE TOP?

5. GREEN BUILDING
 Green building is the practice of
increasing the efficiency with which
buildings use resources — energy,
water, and materials — while reducing
building impacts on human health and
the environment, through better site,
design, construction, operation,
maintenance, and removal (i.e.) the
complete Building life cycle.

11. Sustainable Sites – 14 Points
Site Selection:
Urban Redevelopment
Brownfield Redevelopment
Alternative Transportation
Reduce Site Disturbance
Stormwater Management
Landscape and Exterior
Light Pollution Reduction

12. Water Conservation
 • Utility Charges are
 Escalating in many
places
 • Storm Water
Retention for
 Irrigation
 • Grey Water Reuse
 • Low Flow Fixtures

13. Daylighting
•Access to daylight
•Light shelves
•Reduced electrical
loads
•Reduced cooling
loads
•Better lighting
control is essential

14. Optimize Energy Performance
For sustainable building projects,
the ideal architectural glass is one
that permits the greatest amount
of natural light to enter a building
while limiting, to the furthest
extent possible, the thermal
effects of infrared energy and
solar heat gain.

24. DO YOU NEED TO BE AN ARCHITECT TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE????
HOW ABOUT…..
-BUILDER
-PRODUCT DEVELOPER
-RESEARCHER, OR….
-A TEACHER
-A HOME OWNER
-YOU! NOW!
SUSTAINABILITY IS AN ATTITIUDE. IT IS A WAY
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.
