Introduction

Green Building, also known as sustainable

building, is the practice of creating

structures and using processes that areenvironmentally responsible and resource-

efficient throughout a building's life-cycle


4/32

THIS IS NOT A GREEN

BUILDING !!!

A building which is constructed in an ecofriendly

environment cannot be called as a Green Building


5/32

o It is applicable to any type of buildings &

existing buildings

o Green buildings are designed to reduce the

overall impact of the built environment on

human health and the natural environment

by: Efficiently using energy, water, and other

resources

Protecting occupant health and improving

employee productivity

Reducing waste, pollution and environmental

degradation


6/32

Conventional & Green Building

Functionality & appearance both are same

Difference is in approach - Concern forResource conservation &

human productivity

Green building rating system

Leadership in Energy &

Environmental Design (LEED)-

is an internationally recognized green

building certification system, providing

third-party verification.

Developed by the U.S. Green building

council (USGBC)


8/32

Typical Features of Green Buildings


9/32

Sustainable Sites

Reuse of existing buildings and the

preservation of the surrounding

environment.

Sediment and erosion control- reduce

negative impacts on water & air quality

Reduce site disturbance- Conserve

existing natural areas and restore

damaged areas


10/32

Alternative Transportation - Reduce

pollution and land developmentimpacts

Minimize Heat Island Effect

Light pollution reduction- Eliminatelight trespass from the building and

site

Urban redevelopment


11/32

Energy efficiency

Minimum Energy Performance -

minimum level of energy efficiency for

the base building and systems. E.g.

effective window placement

CFC Reduction in HVAC&R Equipment-Reduce ozone depletion.


12/32

Optimize Energy Performance-

increasing levels of energyperformance & to reduce

environmental impacts associated with

excessive energy use. E.g. UseENERGY STAR Qualified Products

On site renewable energy -to reduceenvironmental impacts associated with

fossil fuel energy use.E.g. solar & wind

power


13/32

Water efficiency

Rain water harvesting system- Optimize

ground water usage and increaseits

recharge

Water Efficient Landscaping- Limit or

eliminate the use of potable water for

landscape irrigation.


14/32

Innovative Wastewater technologiesReduce generation of wastewater

and potable water demand

E.g. dual plumbing that recycles waste water

Water Use Reduction - reduce the burden onmunicipal water

supply and wastewater

systems.

E.g. water conserving fixturessuch as ultra-low flush toilets

and low-flow shower heads.


15/32

Materials efficiency

Storage & Collection of Recyclables-

reduction of waste generated by building

occupants

Building reuse - reduce environmentalimpacts of new buildings as they relate to

materials manufacturing and transport.

Construction Waste Management- Redirectreusable materials to appropriate sites.


16/32

Resource Reuse- reduce demand for

virgin materials Regional Materials- Increase demand

for building materials and products that

are extracted and manufactured withinthe region

Recycled Content- products that

incorporate recycled content materials


17/32

Rapidly Renewable Materials-

E.g. bamboo (because bamboo grows

quickly)

Certified Wood -Encourage

environmentally responsible forest

management.


18/32

Indoor environmental quality

Minimum IAQ Performance-

Establish minimum indoor

air quality (IAQ) performance.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitoring-

Ventilation Effectiveness-delivery andmixing of fresh air

E.g.properly designed Heating,Ventilation and Air- Conditioning(HVAC) system


19/32

Construction IAQ Management Plan- PreventIAQ problems resulting from theconstruction/renovation process

Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control

.E.g. reducebuilding products

emit toxic gases,

such as Volatile

Organic Compound

(VOC) and formaldehyde


20/32

LEED Innovation Credits -innovative

performance in Green Building

categories.

24/32

Benefits of Green Buildings They can reduce respiratory diseases

by 9-20%

They increase occupant performance

by 6-26%

Their occupants have 15% less

absenteeism compared to those in

other buildings

Today a variety of green buildingprojects are coming up in the country

Residential complexes

Exhibition centers

Hospitals Educational institutions

Laboratories

IT parks Airports

Government buildings and corporate

offices

Conclusion

Technology needs to overweigh costfactor so that green buildings become

viable.

There is a large need of awareness oftechnology.

By the year 2050 it is estimated that

residential, commercial andinstitutional buildings will consume38%

of global energy and release 3800 mega

tones of carbon in the atmosphere.


30/32

Climate change by itself can also

precipitate larger energy demand as

people seek greater comfort levels in

more extreme conditions.

Its the need of the day for every new

construction to be a green building and

to modify the present buildings with itsfeatures
