This document provides an overview of green buildings. It defines green buildings as those that reduce negative environmental impacts through their design, construction, or operation. It then outlines several principles of green building, including structure efficiency, energy efficiency, water efficiency, and materials efficiency. The document discusses benefits like environmental protection, economic savings, and social benefits. It also describes various green building technologies and provides case studies of green buildings in India.

3. PRESENTATION STRUCTURE
• WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING
• WHY BUILD GREEN?
• PRINCIPLES OF GREEN BUILDINGS
• BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
• TECHNOLOGIES OF GREEN BUILDINGS
• LEED RATING SYSTEM
• CASE STYDY OF SOME GREEN BUILDINGS

4. WHAT IS 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. WHY BUILD GREEN BUILDINGS
• 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.
• Enhance and protect biodiversity and ecosystems.
• Improve air and water quality.
• Enhance occupant health and comfort.

6. PRINCIPLES OF GREEN BUILDING
• STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• WATER EFFICIENCY
• MATERIALS EFFICIENCY

7. STRUCTURE 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 CYCLE.

8. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• THE LAYOUT OF CONSTRUCTION CAN BE STRATEGIZED
SO THAT NATURAL LIGHT PORUS FOR ADDITIONAL
WARMTH.
• SHADING THE ROOF WITH TREES OFFERS AN ECO-
FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO AIR CONDITIONING.

9. WATER EFFICIENCY
• TO MINIMIZE WATER CONSUMPTION ONE SHOULD AIM
TO USE THE WATER WHICH HAS BEEN COLECTED,
USED, PURIFIED AND REUSED.

10. MATERIAL EFFICIENCY
• MATERIALS SHOULD BE USE THAT CAN BE RECYCLED
AND GENERATE SURPLUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
• AN EXAMPLE OF THIS ARE SOLAR POWER PANELS,
NOT ONLY THEY PROVIDE LIGHTENING BUT ALSO A
USEFUL ENERGY SOURCE.

11. BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF BENEFITS OF GREEN
BUILDINGS i.e.;
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
SOCIAL BENEFITS

12. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF GREEN
BUILDINGS
ENHANCE AND PROTECT BIODIVERSITY AND
ECOSYSTEMS.
IMPROVE AIR AND WATER QUALITY.
REDUCE WASTE STREAMS.
CONSERVE AND RESTORE NATURAL RESOURCES.

13. ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
REDUCE OPERATING COSTS.
IMPROVE OCCUPANT PRODUCTIVITY.
ENHANCE ASSET VALUE AND PROFITS.
OPTIMIZE LIFE-CYCLE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE.

14. TECHNOLOGIES OF GREEN BUILDINGS
• SOLAR PANELS
• SOLAR WATER HEATER
• SOLAR COOKER
• RAIN WATER HARVESTING
• BIOGAS

15. SOLAR PANELS
SOLAR ENERGY BEGINS WITH THE SUN. SOLAR PANELS
(ALSO KNOWN AS "PHOTOVOLTIC PANELS") ARE USED
TO CONVERT LIGHT FROM THE SUN, WHICH IS
COMPOSED OF PARTICLES OF ENERGY CALLED
“PHOTONS", INTO ELECTRICITY THAT CAN BE USED TO
POWER ELECTRICAL LOADS.

17. SOLAR WATER HEATER
A SOLAR WATER HEATER IS A DEVICE THAT CAN BE USED
TO CAPTURE SUNLIGHT IN ORDER TO HEAT THE WATER IN
YOUR PIPES TO BE USED FOR BATHS, SHOWERS, ETC.
IT CONSISTS MAINLY OF:
• A THERMAL PANEL (SOLAR COLLECTOR) INSTALLED ON
THE ROOF;
• A TANK TO STORE HOT WATER;
• ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS A CIRCULATING PUMP TO CARRY
THE SOLAR ENERGY FROM THE COLLECTOR TO THE TANK,
AND A THERMAL REGULATOR.

19. SOLAR COOKER
A 'SOLAR COOKER' IS A DEVICE WHICH USES THE
ENERGY OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT TO HEAT, COOK OR
PASTEURIZE FOOD OR DRINK. MANY SOLAR COOKERS
CURRENTLY IN USE ARE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE,
LOW-TECH DEVICES, ALTHOUGH SOME ARE AS
POWERFUL OR AS EXPENSIVE AS TRADITIONAL STOVES,
AND ADVANCED, LARGE-SCALE SOLAR COOKERS CAN
COOK FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

21. RAINWATER HARVESTING
RAIN WATER HARVESTING (RWH) IS A TECHNIQUE OF
COLLECTION AND STORAGE OF RAINWATER INTO
NATURAL RESERVOIRS OR TANKS, OR THE
INFILTRATION OF SURFACE WATER INTO SUBSURFACE
AQUIFERS BEFORE IT IS LOST AS SURFACE RUNOFF.

23. BIOGAS
BIOGAS TYPICALLY REFERS TO A MIXTURE OF DIFFEREN
GASES PRODUCED BY THE BREAKDOWN OF ORGANIC
MATTER IN THE ABSENCE OF OXYGEN. BIOGAS CAN BE
PRODUCED FROM RAW MATERIALS SUCH AS
AGRICULTURAL WASTE, MANURE, MUNICIPAL
WASTE, PLANT MATERIAL, SEWAGE, GREEN
WASTE OR FOOD WASTE. BIOGAS IS A RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCE.

25. LEED RATING SYSTEM
LEED PROVIDES COMPLETE FRAMEWORK FOR
ASSESSING BUILDING PERFORMANCE AND MEETING
SUSTAINABILITY GOALS. BASED ON WELL-FOUNDED
SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS, LEED EMPHASIZES STATE-OF-
THE-ART STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE SITE
DEVELOPMENT, WATER SAVINGS, ENERGY EFFICIENCY,
MATERIALS SELECTION AND INDOOR ENVIRONMENT
QUALITY.

26. LEVELS OF RATINGS
CERTIFIED 26-32
SILVER 33-38
GOLD 39-51
PLATINUM 51-69
