Green building materials aim to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. Some key green building materials include wool bricks, sustainable concrete containing recycled materials, and paper insulation made from recycled paper. Selection criteria for green building materials include factors like durability, embodied energy, and toxicity. Fundamental green building principles center around efficient structure design, energy/water use, materials selection, and waste reduction. Several notable green building projects in India employ strategies like natural ventilation, greywater systems, and solar power to lessen environmental impact.

4. Definition:
“It is the practice of increasing
efficiency with which buildings
use resources- energy, water
and materials-while reducing
building impacts on human
health and the environment.”

5. Importants:
 As the earth’s population continuous to explode and developing nations
begin to use their share of world’s resources, it is necessary to ascertain
how we, as a planet, use our earth’s precious resources.
 During construction or at the end of useful building life, construction
materials and components are often discarded with construction debris
accounting for nearly 28% of land waste in country.
 Inappropriate use of building material that emit chemical can pollute the
indoor environment contributing to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) with
some new building chemical concentrations up to 100 times grater than
outside levels.
 World Health Organization estimate approximately 30% of all building will
have IAQ concerns during facility occupancy.
 Green Building Materials can help create more sustainable, healthful,
and ecologically sensitive Buildings.

6.  Nowadays, we should make a way to maximize our natural resources
and also help our mother earth to get some relief since pollution is
everywhere plus the global warming that we are all experiencing.
Non-renewable energy is expensive and unsafe but did you know that
through green building we can save a lot of energy.
 let's define first the meaning of green building (know also as green
construction) is the practice of creating structures and using
processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-
efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
deconstruction.
 The importance of this is it lessen the consume of energy and the
pollution as well because the more we use nonrenewable energy the
higher the risk of pollution.

8. Fundamental Principles
 Structure design efficiency
 Energy efficiency
 Water efficiency
 Materials efficiency
 Waste and toxic reduction
8

9.  Structure Design 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.
Energy efficiency
 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.

10.  Water efficiency
 To minimize water consumption one should aim to
use the water which has been collected, used,
purified and reused.
10

11.  Materials efficiency
Waste And Reduction
 It is probable to reuse resources.
 What may be waste to us may have another benefit to
something else.
 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.

13. Wool brick
 Obtained by adding wool
and a natural polymer found
in seaweed to the clay of
the brick
 37% More strength than
burnt bricks
 Resistant for cold and wet
climate

14. Sustainable Concrete
 Crushed glass
 Wood chips or slag - a
byproduct of steel
manufacturing.
 Reduces the emission of
CO2

15. Paper Insulation
 Made from recycled
newspapers and
cardboard
 Then filled with
chemical foam
 Insect resistant &fire
retardant

32. Conclusion
o This research identified the exciting developments taking
place on the technology front and analyses their
implications for intelligent and green buildings,
highlighting examples of “best in class” buildings
employing green and intelligent technologies. These
buildings are dynamic environments that respond to their
occupants’ changing needs and lifestyles. This research
provided documented evidence to educate and influence
end-users, building owners, architects, and contractors
that a “greener building” can be achieved using
intelligent technology and that this “greening” will
provide a tangible and significant return on investment.
