One of the most common issues on the word right now is green building technology, with the goal of reducing the development industry's various negative effects on the environment, society, and economy. Because pollution and global warming are quickly expanding over the planet, the world urgently requires a sustainable and reasonable development. Because of the increase in Green House Gases (GHGs), dramatic climatical differences occurring everyday have been noted and are being faced by almost everyone all over the world. Within settled countries such as the United States of America, Russia, Australia, and the United Kingdom, there have already been rigorous steps taken to achieve workable development, as well as rules and regulations enacted by their respective governments to assist and accomplish a workable and environmentally approachable development of their countries. However, emerging countries such as India, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and others are dragging in terms of founding supportable growth and environmentally friendly structures. In addition, there is a deficiency of public understanding about this worldwide issue in these emerging countries. According to surveys and study, these countries are also far behind schedule the established nations of the world. This article discusses the need for maintainable growth around the world, particularly in emerging countries such as India and China, which have enormous land-living masses and are fast emerging, with the potential to become new global superpowers in the near future. It also includes sustainable and monetary research with connections to Indian contexts, as well as a recent live instance study of a freshly built and constructed luxurious housing home in a densely populated area of India. The case study is a inhabited house that is planned and built as a sustainable and green structure in an extremely community inside the state of Maharashtra, India, as India is also known as a country of villages with the world's second largest population. According to India's 2012 census, 69.84 percent of the population, or 869.17 million people, live in 6,47,861 distinct villages. By using straightforward, simple, and cost-effective strategies, this study will assist Indian communities and residential buildings in becoming more sustainable and greener.

The construction industry has impacted the environment hugely, from the loss of wild habitats to green field projects, insane amounts of energy used at site during the construction phase, to count a few. In fact, the construction industry accounts for an incredible 36% of worldwide energy usage, and 40% of CO2 emissions. Mining for raw materials results in the pollution of water. The manufacture of cement currently resulted in global annual emissions of 2.8 bn tonnes of CO2; if current rates of urbanisation continue, this could rise to over 4 bn tonnes every year. With this as a backdrop, the world is grappling with a pressing need to address concerns be it environmental or climate change. Sustainable construction has emerged as one of the vital solutions. It is more than just a buzzword; it represents a fundamental shift in the way we design, build, and maintain structures while minimizing their environmental impact and maximizing social and economic benefits.

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a assembly and the using of progressions that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, process, conservation, renovation, and demolition. In extra words, green building design contains finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment. This requires close collaboration of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Although some green building programs don't address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes, others do, especially through public schemes for energy efficient refurbishment. Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit work as well as new construction.
Buildings, as definers of character and fabric of any city, are known for their positivity, negativities, dualities and contradictions. Consuming half of the global energy, majority of resources and generating 45% carbon emissions, buildings are largely responsible for consumption of resources, generation of waste, climate change and global warming. Sustainable Development Goals enunciated by UNO also mandate the critical role of buildings in promoting global sustainability. However, majority of buildings are designed without any concern for energy, resources and environment. For making buildings least consumers of energy, resources and generators of waste, traditional approach to buildings have to be changed and redefined. Appropriate options of designing sustainable, environment friendly and energy efficient buildings would involve the study, analysis and application of the relevance of climate both at regional, city and local levels; site and orientation ; options for energy and water efficiency; context of building materials and indoor air quality, active and passive means of heating cooling and using resources provided with nature for making buildings green and energy efficient.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. GREEN BUILDING
A ‘green’ building is a building that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces
or eliminates negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and
natural environment. Green buildings preserve precious natural resources and
improve our quality of life.
5. There are a number of features which can make a building ‘green’.These include:
Efficient use of energy, water and other resources
Use of renewable energy, such as solar energy
Pollution and waste reduction measures, and the enabling of re-use and recycling
Good indoor environmental air quality
Use of materials that are non-toxic, sustainable.
Consideration of the environment in design, construction and operation
Consideration of the quality of life of occupants in design, construction and
operation
6. Any building can be a green building, whether it’s a home, an office, a school, a
hospital, a community center, or any other type of structure, provided it includes
features listed in last slide.
7. HOW CANWE MAKE OUR BUILDINGS GREEN?
Taking an intelligent approach to energy
Minimising energy use in all stages of a building’s life-cycle, making new and
renovated buildings more comfortable and less expensive to run.
Integrating renewable and low-carbon technologies to supply buildings’ energy
needs, once their design has maximised inbuilt and natural efficiencies.
Safeguarding water resources
Exploring ways to improve drinking and waste water efficiency and management,
harvesting water for safe indoor use in innovative ways, and generally minimising
water use in buildings.
Considering the impact of buildings and their surroundings on stormwater and
drainage infrastructure.
8. Promoting health and wellbeing
Bringing fresh air inside, delivering good indoor air quality through ventilation,
and avoiding materials and chemicals that create harmful or toxic emissions.
Incorporating natural light and views to ensure building users’ comfort and
enjoyment of their surroundings, and reducing lighting energy needs in the
process.
Designing for ears as well as eyes. Acoustics and proper sound insulation play
important roles in helping concentration, and peaceful enjoyment of a building in
educational, health and residential buildings.
9. Keeping our environment green
Recognizing that our urban environment should preserve nature, and ensuring
diverse wildlife and land quality are protected or enhanced, by, for example,
remediating and building on polluted land or creating new green spaces.
Looking for ways we can make our urban areas more productive, bringing
agriculture into our cities.
10. Creating resilient and flexible structures
Adapting to our changing climate, ensuring resilience to events such as flooding,
earthquakes or fires so that our buildings stand the test of time and keep people and their
belongings safe.
Connecting communities and people
Creating diverse environments that connect and enhance communities, asking what a
building will add to its context in terms of positive economic and social effects, and
engaging local communities in planning.
Ensuring transport and distance to amenities are considered in design, reducing the
impact of personal transport on the environment, and encouraging environmentally
friendly options such as walking or cycling.
Exploring the potential of both ‘smart’ and information communications technologies to
communicate better with the world around us, for example through smart electricity grids
that understand how to transport energy where and when it is needed.
11. Considering all stages of a building's life-cycle
Seeking to lower environmental impacts and maximise social and economic value
over a building's whole life-cycle (from design, construction, operation and
maintenance, through to renovation and eventual demolition).
Ensuring that embodied resources, such as the energy or water used to produce
and transport the materials in the building are minimised so that buildings are
truly low impact.
12. THE BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
Environmental
One of the most important types of benefit green buildings offer is to our climate
and the natural environment. Green buildings can not only reduce or eliminate
negative impacts on the environment, by using less water, energy or natural
resources, but they can - in many cases - have a positive impact on the
environment (at the building or city scales) by generating their own energy or
increasing biodiversity.
13. At a global level:
The building sector has the largest potential for significantly reducing greenhouse
gas emissions compared to other major emitting sectors – UNEP, 2009.
This emissions savings potential is said to be as much as 84 gigatonnes of CO2
(GtCO2) by 2050, through direct measures in buildings such as energy efficiency,
fuel switching and the use of renewable energy – UNEP, 2016.
The building sector has the potential to make energy savings of 50% or more in
2050, in support of limiting global temperature rises to 2°C– UNEP, 2016.
14. Economic
Green buildings offer a number of economic or financial benefits, which are
relevant to a range of different people or groups of people.These include cost
savings on utility bills for tenants or households (through energy and water
efficiency); lower construction costs and higher property value for building
developers; increased occupancy rates or operating costs for building owners.
15. Social
Green building benefits go beyond economics and the environment, and have been shown
to bring positive social impacts too. Many of these benefits are around the health and
wellbeing of people who work in green offices or live in green homes.
Workers in green, well-ventilated offices record a 101 per cent increase in cognitive scores
(brain function) - HarvardT.H. Chan School of Public Health / Syracuse University Center of
Excellence / SUNY Upstate Medical School, 2015.
Employees in offices with windows slept an average of 46 minutes more per night -
American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2013.
Research suggests that better indoor air quality (low concentrations of CO2 and
pollutants, and high ventilation rates) can lead to improvements in performance of up to 8
per cent–Park andYoon, 2011.
16. WHAT IS A GREEN BUILDING RATING
TOOL?
Green building rating tools – also known as certification – are used to assess and
recognize buildings which meet certain green requirements or standards.
17. WHAT IS LEED
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used
green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building,
community and home project types, LEED provides a framework to create healthy,
highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally
recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.
18.
19. LOCATION &TRANSPORTATION
This category rewards thoughtful decisions about building location, with credits
that encourage compact development, alternative transportation, and connection
with amenities such as restaurants and parks.
SUSTAINABLE SITES
The Sustainable Sites category focuses on the environment surrounding the
building, awarding credits for projects that emphasize the vital relationships
among buildings, ecosystems, and ecosystem services. It focuses on restoring
project site elements, integrating the site with local and regional ecosystems, and
preserving the biodiversity that natural systems rely on.
20. WATER EFFICIENCY
The Water Efficiency section addresses water holistically, looking at indoor use,
outdoor use, specialized uses, and metering.The section is based on an “efficiency
first” approach to water conservation.
ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE
The Energy and Atmosphere category approaches energy from a holistic
perspective, addressing energy use reduction, energy-efficient design strategies,
and renewable energy sources.
21.
22. MATERIAL & RESOURCES
The Materials and Resources credit category focuses on minimizing the embodied
energy and other impacts associated with the extraction, processing, transport,
maintenance, and disposal of building materials.The requirements are designed
to support a life-cycle approach that improves performance and promotes
resource efficiency.
INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
The Indoor Environmental Quality category rewards decisions made by project
teams about indoor air quality and thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort. Green
buildings with good indoor environmental quality protect the health and comfort
of building occupants.
23. INNOVATION
Sustainable design strategies and measures are constantly evolving and
improving. New technologies are continually introduced to the marketplace, and
up-to-date scientific research influences building design strategies.The purpose
of this LEED category is to recognize projects for innovative building features and
sustainable building practices and strategies.
INTEGRATIVE PROCESS
Beginning in pre-design and continuing throughout the design phases, identify
and use opportunities to achieve synergies across disciplines and building
systems.
24. LEED PROFESSIONAL
