Green Buildings Overview and Analysis of Energy Efficient Buildingpaperpublications3
Abstract: The challenges our planet faces, particularly climate change and sustainable economic development, are global in nature and so require global solutions. The building sector, which consumes as much as 40% of world’s energy, 12% of its water and contributes 40% of its waste sent to landfill, is the major part of this global problem. Reducing energy use in buildings saves resources and money while reducing pollution and CO2 in the atmosphere. It also leverages even greater savings at power plants. For the average 33-percent-efficient coal-fired power plant, saving a unit of electricity in a building saves three units of fuel at the power plant. So to reduce green house gas emission, government promotes new buildings construction and to retrofit existing buildings while satisfying low energy criteria. This means improving energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems, developing sustainable building concepts and promoting renewable energy sources. “Green” or “sustainable” buildings use key resources like energy, water, materials, and land more efficiently than buildings that are just built to code. With more natural light and better air quality, green buildings typically contribute to improved employee and student health, comfort, and productivity. A green building depletes the natural resources to the minimum during its construction and operation. In this paper an over view of green building is discussed.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Green Building (also known as green construction or sustainable
building) expands and compliments 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
building.
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact on human
health and natural environment.
• Using energy, water and other resources efficiently.
• By reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation.

History of Green Building
• In the 1960s, American architect Paul Soleri proposed a new
concept of ecological architecture.
• In 1969, American architect Ian McHarg wrote the book "Design
Integrates Nature", which marked the official birth of ecological
architecture.
• In the 1970s, the energy crisis caused various building energy-
saving technologies such as solar energy, geothermal energy, and
wind energy to emerge, and energy-saving buildings became the
forerunner of building development.

History of Green Building
• In 1980, the World Conservation Organization put forward the
slogan "sustainable development" for the first time. At the same
time, the energy-saving building system was gradually improved,
and it was widely used in developed countries such as Germany,
Britain, France and Canada.
• In 1987, the United Nations Environment Program published the
"Our Common Future" report, which established the idea of
sustainable development.
• In 1990, the world's first green building standard was released in the
UK.

History of Green Building
•In 1992, because the "United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development" promoted the idea of sustainable development, green
buildings gradually became the direction of development.
•In 1993, the United States created the Green Building Association.
•In 1996, Hong Kong introduced Green Building Standards.
•In 1999, Taiwan introduced Green Building Standards.
•In 2000, Canada introduced Green Building Standards.
•In 2005, Singapore initiated the "BCA Green Building Mark"
•In 2015, China implemented the "Green Building Evaluation
Standards".

Need of Green Buildings in
present scenario
Buildings are responsible for 40% of world wide energy flow and
material use conventional buildings have been identified as the
largest source of green house gas emissions, even more than that
of the transport and industry sector.
8000lbs of waste are typically thrown into a landfill during the
construction of a 2000sqft home.
The buildings in the US consume more than twice as much energy
as all the cars in the US.
Buildings account for 68% of total electricity consumption in the US.
Buildings use 80% of total drinking water consumption in the US.
Indoor levels of pollution are commonly 2 to 5 times higher than
outdoor pollution levels.

Importance of Green Buildings
Nowadays we should make a way to maximize our natural
resources to help our mother earth to get relief from the pollutions
like global warming that we are all experiencing. Non- renewable
sources are expensive and unsafe.
Green Building concept is the practice of creating structure using
processes that are environmental friendly and resources efficient
during building life-cycle; selection of site, design, construction,
operation, maintenance, renovation and destruction.
The importance is to lessen the consumption of energy and pollution
as well. More use of non-renewable energy leads to more pollution.
The growth and development of our communities has a larger
impact on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design ,
construction and operation of buildings are responsible for the
consumption of our natural resources

Green Building Rating System
A green building rating system is an evaluation tool that measures
environmental performance of a building through its life cycle
Comprises of a set of criteria covering various parameters related to
design, construction and operation of a green building
Each criterion has pre-assigned points and sets performance
benchmarks and goals that are largely quantifiable
A project is awarded points once it fulfillsthe rating criteria. The
points are added up and the final rating of a project is decided.
Globally,green building rating systems are largely voluntary in
nature and have been instrumental in raising awareness and
popularizing green building design.

Structural design 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-
cycles
Energy efficiency:
• The layout of the construction can be strategised so that natural light
pours for additional wamth
• Shading the roof with trees offers an eco-friendly alternative to air
conditioning
22
23. VANKIRI MADHU (203418025) / M.Tech. (EE) / Civil Engg.
Fundamental principles of
Green Buildings
Water efficiency:
• To minimize water consumption one should aim to use the water
which has been collected,used,purified and reused
Material efficiency:
• Material should be use that can be recycled and generate surplus
amount of energy
• an examples of this are solar power panels,not only they provide
lightening but they are also a useful energy source
Waste and toxic reduction:
• it is probable to reuse resources
• what may be waste to us may have another benefit to something
else
