This document discusses green buildings and their benefits. It defines green buildings as structures that are environmentally responsible and efficient in their resource use throughout construction and occupancy. Green building methods aim to reduce environmental impacts and resource consumption. Rating systems evaluate buildings based on factors like energy efficiency, water use, and indoor air quality. Green buildings can decrease energy and water usage, lower emissions, and lessen construction waste compared to conventional buildings.

5.  GreenBuildings are also Knowas “ Green Costruction or Sustainable Buildings”.
 GreenBuildings refer to application of process that are “Environmentally Responsible and Resource Efficient
throughout the Lifespan of Building from “Planning ofbuilding toDemolition of buiding”
 TheGreen Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility,
durability, and comfort
 Taipei 101, the tallest and largest green building in world since 2011 situated in Taipei the capital city of Taiwan

16.  IGBC
Indian Green Buildings Council
• The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)
was formed by the Confederation of Indian
Industry (CII) in 2001.
• The council is based out of the CII Green
Business Centre, Hyderabad which is India’s
1st Platinum rated green building .
• The vision of the council is to enable
‘Sustainable built environment for all.
• IGBC is the country's premier body for green
building certification and allied services.
• Ratings are taken as LEED Ratings

17. • 15,000 MWh of Energy per million sq ft. per annum
• 45,000 KL of Water per million sq ft. per annum
• Installation of 30 MW of Renewable Energy in IGBC certified projects
• Reduced CO2 emissions by 12,000 tons per million sq ft. per annum
• Diverted 500 Tons of construction waste from landfill per million sq ft.
• 4,400+ projects registered with IGBC from various parts of India and
abroad, amounting to a total footprint of 4.72 billion sq. ft.
