Glass plays an important role in the concept of sustainable construction or green building. This combines versatile properties such as transparency, acoustic control, and natural day lighting. It is also a recyclable material that can result in unlimited innovative applications for construction and building purposes.
The material is commonly used in buildings, in exterior and interior applications. The material helps improve energy efficiency, reduces energy CO2 emissions, and offers advanced functionality such as fire protection and self-cleaning properties.
Double skin façades. Almost a self-explanatory name for façade systems consisting of two layers, usually glass, wherein air flows through the intermediate cavity. This space (which can vary from 20 cm to a few meters) acts as insulation against extreme temperatures, winds, and sound, improving the building's thermal efficiency for both high and low temperatures.

This significantly unique office is designed by Christopher Charles, Pune based architect and has received LEED Platinum rating in 2010. He and his partner came up with the concept “Office in the garden”. Spread over 10 acres, this magnificent structure is one of the largest green building projects of the country and is also one of the India’s first buildings to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified.
Suzlon One Earth, Pune
Suzlon one earth is 100% powered by onsite and offsite renewable sources.
The campus has 18 hybrid wind turbines that fulfil 7% of the total energy consumption, the rest of energy demand is met from offsite wind turbines.
The structure is designed in a way to ensure maximum daylight exposure thereby reducing artificial lighting consumption.
The infrastructure within the campus is designed to enable water percolation and thereby control storm water runoff thus, contributing towards an increased water table level.

As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.

Analysis of Upgradation of a Convectional Building into Green BuildingIJSRD
The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, and increased Greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increased indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing Green Roof Technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water proofing membrane on top of the roof surface. This study emphasized to first analysis a convectional Building than upgrade it to a Green Building by the use of some Eco- Friendly materials. In addition to this by the use of some smart electrification work we can also conserve an ample amount of energy in a Convectional Building. Than by the use of different agencies which would provide checklist for Green Building we can rate a Convectional Building which is been upgraded into a Green Building..The objectives of this research were is Reduction in the indoor temperature of the room contributes reduction in energy consumption in the building. By the use of smart electrification an ample amount of energy can also be conserved. By the use of eco- friendly materials and waste products an ample amount of money can also be saved. Although by the up gradation of convectional building the initial cost will be high because of the use of some special material such as solar panel, rain water harvesting system but their application will return 10 times of what we invested

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

Phone: 08 9417 5582
Glass plays an important role in the concept of sustainable construction or green building. This combines versatile properties such as transparency, acoustic control, and natural day lighting. It is also a recyclable material that can result in unlimited innovative applications for construction and building purposes.
The material is commonly used in buildings, in exterior and interior applications. The material helps improve energy efficiency, reduces energy CO2 emissions, and offers advanced functionality such as fire protection and self-cleaning properties.
2. Glass and Energy Efficiency
The light transmission property of glass can significantly reduce energy bills, provided that artificial lighting contributes to the building’s energy consumption. The use of advanced coating, furthermore, helps keep the inside of a building warm during cold weather conditions. It also prevents the sun’s heat from entering the building during warmer seasons.
The Use of Glass Coatings
The coatings on the glass panel can improve thermal insulation of the wall. Some builders also use double-glazing to enhance thermal insulation and improve acoustic performance. Strategic use of insulation is also instrumental for achieving high thermal performance.
Better Living Conditions
The use of glass in construction enhances the living and working condition of occupants by allowing more natural light into buildings. Research suggests that the use of glass in buildings contributes to improved health conditions and general wellbeing.
Advanced and High Quality Glass
There is also high quality acoustic laminated glass material with excellent noise reduction qualities that do not affect material impact performance. The preferred acoustic performance of glass can be achieved by combining different glass thickness levels with plastic inter layers.
3. Glass Sustainability
Glass has a low environmental impact, making it a great choice for sustainable buildings. Glass is also made of abundant and non-polluting raw materials. The process to manufacture it, furthermore, is highly energy efficient, requiring low amounts of water and generating little waste.
Glass plays an important part in achieving energy efficiency and maintaining air quality inside a building. The design, construction, and placement of glass are also considered as important aspects in green architecture and building.
