India faces threats from climate change and water scarcity that endanger its economy. Buildings in India experience many health issues due to poor indoor environmental quality, which causes high energy bills and occupant health complaints. Investing in green technologies for buildings can help address these problems by improving energy efficiency, air quality, health, productivity, and reducing costs. Sustainable buildings that generate their own energy and minimize waste can provide environmental, economic and public health benefits for India.

1. “Why India should invest in new green technologies in their buildings” “Climate change and water scarcity threaten India’s economy, one of the fastest growing in the world.”

3. Extreme hot condition

6. Greater productivity in workers

7. Faster healing by patients

8. Have Higher Market ValueBoth residential and commercial buildings retain a high resale value if they include sustainable design components. The value to prospective buyers comes from knowing their utility and maintenance costs will be lower in green buildings that outperform non-green buildings. Occupancy levels are consistently higher, and vacancy rates lower, in sustainable Officebuildings. Understandably, it is these measurable benefits, rather than a general sense of well-being, energy conservation resulting in savingmoney and improved internal environmental quality for better living and good for the environment these can be achieved by implementing green technology in our buildings. India still to capitalize the benefits of green technology as other countries are alreadyusing it in their buildings for instance USA, Australia. On the financial side, going green will save everyone tons of money. The price of electricity will keep going up as oil supplies shrink.As a hedge against rising electric bills it would be wise to invest in green technology today. Plus an additional benefit will be cleaner air. There are still coal plants around and despite the advancements in technology they remain a pollution factor today. Green technology in the form of solar power could result in a tremendous reduction in the need forcoal power plants. Energy saving lightbulbs are a great example of green technology that can be installed in every house in the world, easily. The aim of green technology is to make peoples’ lives better without compromising on quality of life.

11. Be adapted specifically to site and climate and evolve as conditions change.

12. Operate pollution-free and generate no wastes that aren’t useful for some other process in the building or immediate environment.

13. Promote the health and well-being of all inhabitants, as a healthy ecosystem does.

14. Be comprised of integrated systems that maximise efficiency and comfort.

15. Improve the health and diversity of the local ecosystem rather than degrade it.

17. Government can provide financial assistance to people or organisations to encourage and create awareness about green technologies. India is already doing its bit to save water and other environment friendly measures. Ministry of environment is also seeking assistance from Indian corporate sector to come up with innovative ideas to save the environment. I think we are on the right track and we just need to create more awareness about the biggest threat the world is facing now which is global warming. As we say there is never a wrong time for the right thing so we can certainly give back something to our mother earth.
