This presentation discusses green building principles and their benefits. It introduces the Indian Green Building Council which developed a rating system to certify green buildings in levels from certified to platinum. Some key green building projects in India are highlighted that have achieved gold and platinum certification. Green buildings are constructed differently by using resources more efficiently, creating less waste, and providing health benefits. They provide environmental benefits like reduced pollution, economic benefits like lower operating costs, and social benefits like improved health and quality of life.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building)
expands and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility,
durability, and comfort.
 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.

4. OBJECTIVES OF GREEN BUILDING
 Green Buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact on human health
and the natural environment by the following ways:
 Using energy, water and other resources efficiently.
 By reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation.

5. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
 Structure design efficiency
 Energy efficiency
 Water efficiency • Materials efficiency
 Waste and toxic reduction

6. STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY:
It is the concept of sustainable building and has largest impact on cost and performance.
It aims to minimize the enviornment impact associated with all life-cycles.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
The layout of the construction can be strategised so that natural light pours for additional
warmth. Shading the roof with trees offers an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning.

7. WATER EFFICIENCY:
To minimize water consumption one should aim to use the water which has been
collected, used, purified and reused.

8. MATERIAL EFFICIENCY:
Materials should be use that can be recycled and can generate surplus amount of energy.
An example of this are solar power panels, not only they provide lightening but they are
also a useful energy source.
WASTE AND REDUCTION:
It is probable to reuse resources. What may be waste to us may have another benefit to
something else.

9. INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL
 The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) was formed in the year 2001 by
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
 The aim of the council is to bring green building movement in India and
facilitate India to become one of the global leaders in green buildings by
2015.

10. 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 recognize best practices.
 „Silver‟ to recognize outstanding performance.
 „Gold‟ to recognize national excellence.
 „Platinum‟ to recognize global leadership

11. GREEN BUILDINGS PROJECT IN INDIA
 Suzlon Energy Limited-Pune Biodiversity Conservation India-Bangalore

12. SUZLON ENERGY LIMITED,PUNE
 Several accolades continue to
shower upon Suzlon‟s global
headquarter in Pune “One Earth”.
 LEED certified it as „PLATINUM‟
and it is built on an area of
10.13acres.
 One Earth can be counted as
among the largest green building
projects in India.

13. RAJIV GANDHI INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORTHYDERABAD
 India‟s first Greenfield airport
is undeniably among the top 10
green buildings in India.
 First airport in asia to be
certified with „SILVER‟ rating.
 This green building ensures
optimal use of natural light and
minimal wastage of electricity
or energy consumption

14.  „GOLD‟ rated building by
LEED.
 Its smart lighting, heat
recovery wheel and high
efficiency chillers makes
this office stand out from
the rest.

15. DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BUILDINGS
 The design,maintaince and construction of buildings have tremendous effect
on our enviornment and natural resources.
 Green Building is different from the other buildings because it use a
minimum amount of nonrenewable energy, produce minimal pollution,
increases the comfort, health and safety of the people who work in them.
 It also minimize the waste in construction by recovering materials and
reusing or recycling them.

16. INCREASING GREEN BUILDINGS IN INDIA
 Today more than 1053 green buildings (as on April 2011) are being constructed
all over India, of which 147 green buildings are certified and fully functional

17. BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDING
 Buildings have a large effect on the environment ,
human health and the economy.
 The successful adoption of GREEN BUILDING
development can maximize both the economic
and environmental performance of the buildings

18. ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS
 Protect biodiversity and ecosystems
 Improve air and water quality
 Reduce waste streams
 Conserve natural resources

19. ECONOMIC BENEFITS
 Reduce operating costs
 Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services
 Improve occupant productivity

20. SOCIAL BENEFITS
 Enhance occupant comfort and health.
 Heighten aesthetic qualities.
 Minimize strain on local infrastructure.
 Improve overall quality of life.

21. AFFECT ON NATURAL RESOURCE
 According to surveys conducted in 2006, 107.3 million acres of total land area
is developed, which represents an increase of 24 percent land covering green
buildings over the past 3 years.
 In terms of energy, buildings accounted for 39.4 percent of total energy
consumption and 67.9 percent of total electricity consumption

22. 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.
