Amit Kumar presented on green buildings under the guidance of Dr. K.V. Vijayendra. The presentation discussed the objectives, literature review, methodology, working principles, materials used in green buildings, examples of green building projects in India, features of the Infinity Benchmark building, benefits and advantages/disadvantages of green buildings. Key findings included that green buildings can reduce energy usage by 30-50%, CO2 emissions by 35%, waste output by 70%, and water usage by 40% compared to conventional buildings.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building)
expands and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility,
durability, and comfort.
 A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency,
conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier space
for occupants as compared to conventional buildings.

4. OBJECTIVES
 To understand the concept of Green Building Construction.
 To understand the difference between Normal Building and Green Building.
 To evaluate the different Green Building Construction Techniques.
 To study the property and use of various Green Building Construction
materials.
 To analyze Green Building Construction.

• The rapidly evolving green construction movement
in India is successfully proving the yield of
substantial benefit to environment and economy.
• Going green seems to be the only major natural
corollary and sole remedy to overcome the
environmental degradation, depleting energy
sources.
• The green development need a great interest of
government and builders too to attain the green
agenda and awareness at mass level regarding
urgency of go green would initiate the green
development at mass level.

• The final rating system for small residential
building shows that people are mainly focused
towards conservation & reuse of water and energy
optimization because it is directly related to their
daily usage and cost of living.
• To achieve sustainable development, certain
mandatory criteria must be followed to achieve
good economic, environmental and social system.
• It can be concluded that there are various
materials which can be adopted for green
construction, but we need to select the material
which may be renewable, and causes less harm to
environment.
• The materials chosen must increase energy
efficiency of the structure.

8.  STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY:
• It is the concept of sustainable building
and has largest impact on cost and
performance.
• It aims to minimize the environment
impact associated with all life-cycles.
 ENERGYEFFICIENCY:
• The layout of the construction can be
strategized so that natural light pours for
additional warmth.
• Shading the roof with trees offers an eco-
friendly alternative to air conditioning.
WORKING PRINCIPLES

9.  WATER EFFICIENCY:
• Tominimize water consumption one should aim to use the water which has
been collected, used, purified and reused.
 MATERIAL EFFICIENCY:
• Materials should be use that can be recycled and can generate surplus
amount of energy.
• An example of this are solar power panels, not only they provide
lightening but they are also a useful energy source.
 WASTE TREATMENT AND REDUCTION:
• It is probable to reuse resources.
• What may be waste to us may have another benefit to something else.

12. INFINITY BENCHMARK
Infinity benchmark, Salt lake, Kolkata
 It is one of the commercial
developments of Infinity Infotech
Parks
 The building features and
environmental specifications have
been certified as world’s
7th Platinum level by the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC) under
their LEED Rating Programme.
 Apart from the platinum LEED
rating, Infinity Benchmark has won
several national and international
accolades for its green philosophy
and innovations

13. SALIENT FEATURES OF THE
BUILDING
 Indoor air quality
 Zero-discharge water facility
 Effective insulationfor energy efficiency
 Effective glazing
 Electric car for communications
 Ahealthywork environment

14. BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDING
Environmental Economic Social
• Improve air and water
quality
• Conserve and restore
natural resources
• Reduce waste streams
• Reduce operating
costs
• Improve occupant
productivity
• Enhance assets value
and profits
• Enhance occupant
health and comfort
• Improve indoor air
quality
• Improve overall
quality of life

15. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
• Does not emit any harmful gases
into the air.
• Can bring economic benefits to
certain areas.
• Requires less maintenance so we
don’t have to shell out a lot of
money to operate it
• Renewable which means we will
never run out.
• Can slow the effects of global
warming by reducing CO2
Emissions
• High implementing costs.
• Lack of information.
• No known alternative chemical or
raw material inputs.
• No known alternative process
technology.
• Uncertainty about performance
impacts.
• Lack of human resources and skills.

16. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
30-50% Energy usage can be reduced by Green Building
35% CO2 Emission can be reduced by Green Building
70% Waste output can be reduced by Green Building
40% Water usage can be reduced by Green Building
Green
Building cost
3-5% more
than
Convectional
Building to
construct

17. CONCLUSION
Construction industry is growing at a fast rate of 9.2% against world average
of 5.5% in India . The rapidly evolving Green Construction movement in
India is successfully proving the yield of substantial benefit to environment
and economy. Thus going Green seems to be the only major natural
corollary and sole remedy to overcome the environmental degradation,
depleting energy sources. Practicing Green will reduce and eliminate the
adverse impacts on environment , provide proper management strategies,
would improve average India’s living lifestyle, quality of occupants offering
smart living opportunities and coming generations.
