4. ABSTRACT
The main emphasis of this work is to promote the
subject and make the people awared about the need
of construction of green buildings
In India there are many innovatively developed
construction area. But due to this global warming is
increasing . To control this many more disadvantages
Green Building concept is came forwarded. And hence
we are doing the journal on this topic.

5. A Green building is nothing but a building which uses
less water, utilizes energy efficient , conserves natural
resources, generates less waste and provides healthy
space for occupants as compared to the conventional
building.
In others words, green building is
designed to find the balance between homebuilding and
sustainable environment .The green buildings practice
expands and compliments the classical buildings design
concern of economy ,utility, durability and comfort.

6. Needs of Green Building
Construction
A green building is one which uses less water,
optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural
resources, generates less waste and provides
healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a
conventional building. Green building is not a new
fashion stream in design and architecture. Green
building is a possibility to create harmless, and
environmentally friendly buildings.

7. Advantages Of Green Building
Cost :-
According to research 20% of investment into green building will save10 times
more. Designing and building green structures cost approximately the same as regular
buildings. Even if they are higher in cost a little bit, because of some special
requirements, during their usage they save so much energy that the money spent on its
creation will return at least 10 times.
Water efficiency :-
Water consumption is another objective in sustainable building. Water can be wasted
by drip irrigation, leaking (toilet leaking can waste up to 90 gallons per day), pool showers.
Recycling rainwater and using it for toilet flushing can save waste-water. Water saving shower
heads, ultra-low flush toilets and other conserving fixtures can minimize waste-water.
Maintenance :-
Green buildings need less maintenance. For example most green buildings
don’t require exterior painting so often. Also as far as natural sources were used during
its construction, they are not destroyed so quickly.

8. Material efficiency :-
Green buildings are built from green,
rapidly renewable, non-toxic, and recyclable materials
as lumber, bamboo, straw, recycled metal/stone, sheep
wool, compressed earth block, concrete, cork etc.
Energy efficiency :-
Green building has a great advantage of
reducing both embodied and operating energy
consumption. Studies proved that those buildings
which are built with wood will have a lower embodied
energy than buildings made of brick, steel or other
materials.

10. Disadvantages of Green Building
Time :-
To build a green building in some cases takes more time
than an ordinary one. Sometimes it takes too much time to find
the needed material. The client can delay the construction.
Location :-
To amend sun exposure, green building may need a
correct structural orientation. It influences how natural light
enters the building, how to shade some part of it. As far as the
building will contain recycled resources the location of the
building is affected by the land’s humidity, the circumstance of
the surrounding area.

11. Here are some examples of amazing innovations
that green buildings certified by the IGBC (Indian
Green Buildings Council) have implemented to bring
down there energy efficiency and cost significantly.

19. Conclusion :-
From this result we have concluded that our country is much
back than other foreign countries. But if we mold to try
something small on it then we can compare other countries
proudly.
