This document presents an overview of green building. It defines green building according to the EPA as creating healthier and more resource efficient construction and operation of buildings. The document outlines various concepts of green building including minimizing waste and maximizing renewable resources. It provides examples of materials used in green buildings such as bamboo, recycled glass and newspapers. The benefits of green building are listed as improved energy and cost efficiency as well as indoor air quality. Examples of large green building projects in India are also mentioned.

 Slag – By product of steel
manufacturing

8. Solar tiles
 Use of solar tiles as
roof
 Fixing solar panels
over roof

9. Paper insulation
 Using recycled
newspaper
 Then filled with
chemicals
 Insect resistant , fire
retardant

10. Use of triple glazed windows
