Green building aims to reduce environmental impact and improve occupant health. It incorporates features like energy and water efficiency, better materials, waste management, and indoor air quality. Converting an existing building to green involves adopting green practices during renovation like renewable energy, non-potable water usage, and low-VOC materials. Imperial Heritage is analyzing cost-effective green upgrades like fly ash bricks, double glazing, and rooftop gardens. Certification provides recognition and long-term cost savings through reduced utility bills and maintenance needs.

3. WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING ?
• “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’ Symbolizes Environmental Sustainability
• Green building addresses the following: -
• Architectural features
• Water and Energy efficiency
• Materials
• Waste Management
• Environmental Aspects
• Indoor Air Quality
• Occupants Thermal Comfort

4. CONVERSION OF A CONVENTIONAL BUILDING TO A GREEN BUILDING
• NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, HUMAN HEALTH, AND THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN
AFFECTED A LOT BY BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
• WE CAN IMPROVE BOTH ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE BY
ADOPTING GREEN PRACTICES
• GREEN CONSTRUCTION AT ANY STAGE CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN BUILDING, FROM
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, TO RENOVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION.
• ADOPTING GREEN PRACTICES FOR AN EXISTING STRUCTURE AND CONVERTING IT
INTO GREEN ONE IS LATEST INNOVATIVE TREND.
