GREEN BUILDING
CONCEPT
 The ‘GREEN BUILDING’ concept is gaining
importance in various countries, including India.
These are buildings that ensure waste is
minimized at every stage during the
construction and operation of the building,
resulting in low costs, according to experts in
technology.
 A Green building is a structure that is
environmentally responsible and resource efficient
throughout it’s life cycle.
GREEN BUILDING
 Green building also known as
green construction or sustainable building refers
to a structure and using process that is
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient
throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
demolition.
 A Green Building is one which uses less water,
optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural
resources, generates less waste and provides
healthier space for occupants as compared to
conventional buildings.
OBJECTIVE
Green building are designed to reduce the overall
impact of the built environment on human health
and the natural environment by :
 Efficiently using energy, water and other
resources.
 Protecting occupant health and improving
employee productivity.
 Reducing waste, pollution and environment
degradation.
GOALS OF GREEN BUILDING
 Green building brings together a vast array of practices and
techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of
buildings on the environment and human health. It often emphasizes
taking advantage of renewable resources, e.g., using sunlight
through passive solar, active solar, and photovoltaic techniques and
using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens, and for
reduction of rainwater run-off. Many other techniques, such as using
packed gravel or permeable concrete instead of conventional
concrete or asphalt to enhance replenishment of ground water, are
used as well.
 Fundamental principles : Structure Design Efficiency, Energy
Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Materials Efficiency, Indoor
Environmental Quality Enhancement, Operations and Maintenance
Optimization, and Waste and Toxics Reduction
Now a days, 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.
Before that, 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.

GREEN ARCHITECTURE
 Green architecture or Sustainable design is
the philosophy of designing a building that is
in harmony with the natural features and
resources surrounding the site.
There are several key steps in designing
sustainable buildings: specify 'green' building
materials from local sources, reduce loads,
optimize systems, and generate on-site
renewable energy.
INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
 The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), was formed in the year
2001 by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The vision of the council
is to usher in a green building movement in India and facilitate India to
become one of the global leaders in green buildings by 2015.
 With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2). green built-up area
in the country in the year 2003, today more than 1053 green buildings
( as on April 2011) with a built-up area of over 648,000,000 sq ft
(60,200,000 m2). are being constructed all over India, of which 147
green buildings are certified and fully functional
 LEED India for New Construction
 LEED India for Core and Shell
 IGBC Green Homes
 IGBC Green Factory Building
 IGBC Green SEZ
 IGBC Green Townships
IGBC RATING SYSTEM
 IGBC has developed green building rating
programmes to cover commercial, residential, factory
buildings, etc.
 Each rating system divided into different levels of
certification are as follows:
 ‘Certified’ to recognise best practices.
 ‘Silver’ to recognise outstanding performance.
 ‘Gold’ to recognise national excellence.
 ‘Platinum’ to recognise global leadership.
GREEN RATING
FOR INTEGRATED HABITAT ASSESSMEN
T
 GRIHA has been developed after a thorough study and understanding of
the current internationally accepted green building rating systems and the
prevailing building practices in India. The team has researched on several
international rating systems. A few team members were also sponsored
under a study tour by USAEP (United States Asia Environmental
Partnership) to understand the eco-rating systems prevalent in the US. The
team has vast experience in providing design assistance to green buildings
in the country and long and varied experience in carrying out energy
conservation studies in existing hotels, offices, and other commercial
building. The team has effectively utilized the several multi-disciplinary
strengths and experiences of the colleagues at TERI to arrive at the tools
that addresses cross-cutting issues in the design, development, and
operation of a green building.

Nokia in Gurgaon which has been
granted accreditation as one of the
world’s leading green buildings by
the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC). This is the first time that a
commercial interior fit-out project in
India is being awarded the Green
Building Award and prestigious
LEED ‘Gold’ rating. What makes this
green office stand out from the rest
is its smart lighting and ventilation
systems, high-efficiency chillers,
high-performance double glazing,
heat recovery wheel, green guard
certified furniture and online CO2
monitoring system.
RAINTREE HOTELS -
CHENNAI
Here is an eco-sensitive hotel
for the eco-savvy traveler. The
entire chain of Raintree
business hotels across Chennai
city are the first eco-sensitive
hotels in South India. Everything
about this hospitality range is
green: right from the rubber
wood, bamboo and medium-
density fiber used for
construction down to the
Portland Pozzalana cement
containing 15 to 20 per cent
fly ash. The George Fisher
concealed cistern installed at
the hotel controls the water
used in toilet flushes and the
sewage treatment plant
recycles water for use in air
conditioners.

THE DRUK WHITE
LOTUS SCHOOL -
LADAKH
In this desert landscape of severe
climatic conditions, 3,500 meters
above sea level, was born a modest
school that is adjudged as an
outstanding example of sustainable,
green, cost effective building
development. This multi-award
winning structure is the recipient of
the Best Asian Building, Best
Education Building and Best Green
Building awards. It combines the
best of traditional Ladakhi
architecture with 21st century
engineering excellence and is built
with traditional materials such as
locally excavated stone, mud
bricks, timber and grass.
Traditional mud brick masonry
is used internally to provide
increased thermal performance
and durability
Key things to remember when building a
Green building
 Green building do not have to be expensive! If you don’t want to
spend the money, don’t!
 The idea is to get as much light into the green building as possible.
Avoid covering the house with excess trees, coverings, etc…
 Don’t be afraid to break the mold! Each green building should be
unique.
 The sun can’t do it alone! Even though the sun provides most of the
energy, you must regulate the environment of your gree building with
fans, thermometers, heating and cooling, etc…
 Don’t forget the H2O! If the keeper will be gone frequently or the
greenhouse is too vast to water by hand, a watering system will be
necessary to maintain the plants.
CONCLUSION
 This research identified the exciting developments taking
place on the technology front and analyzes 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.
