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.
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.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
•
•
•
•
•

Structure design efficiency
Energy efficiency
Water efficiency
Materials efficiency
Waste and toxic reduction
• STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY:
 It is the concept of sustainable building and has
largest impact on cost and performance.
 It aims to minimize the enviornmment 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.
• WATER EFFICIENCY:
To minimize water consumption one should
aim to use the water which has been collected,
used, purified and reused.
• 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.
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.
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 recognise best practices.
 „Silver‟ to recognise outstanding performance.
 „Gold‟ to recognise national excellence.
 „Platinum‟ to recognise global leadership.

• 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.
• 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.
• NOKIA-GURGAON:
 „GOLD‟ rated building
by LEED.
 Its smart lighting, heat
recovery wheel and high
efficiency chillers
makes this office stand
out from the rest.
SOME IMAGES OF GREEN
BUILDINGS
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.
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.
BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDING
• Buildings have a large effect on the
enviornment,human health and the economy.
• The successful adoption of GREEN
BUILDING development can maximize both
the economic and enviornmental performance
of the buildings.
ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS
•
•
•
•

Protect biodiversity and ecosystems
Improve air and water quality
Reduce waste streams
Conserve natural resources
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
• Reduce operating costs
• Create, expand, and shape markets for green
product and services
• Improve occupant productivity
SOCIAL BENEFITS
•
•
•
•

Enhance occupant comfort and health.
Heighten aesthetic qualities.
Minimize strain on local infrastructure.
Improve overall quality of life.
Environment

Social

Economics
AFFECT ON NATURAL
RESOURCES
• 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.
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.
