3. INTRODUCTION
"A green building is one which uses less water, improves
energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less
waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared
to a conventional building.”
The main objective of green building is to enhance positive
impacts on the environment.

4. LITERATURE REVIEW
• AvinashShivajiraoPawar, et,al.“Green” or “sustainable” buildings use key
resources like energy, water, materials, and land more efficiently than
buildings that is just built to code. With more natural light and better air
quality, green buildings typically contribute to improved health, comfort,
and productivity. A green building depletes the natural resources to the
minimum during its construction and operation.
• T. Ramesh Ravi &Prakash.K.K, Shukla had published in which their
studies includes both the residential and office buildings in which the
results showed operating (80-90%) and embedded (10-20%) phases of
energy use which are significant contributors to building life cycle energy
demand. Building lifecycles energy demand can be reduced by reducing its
operating energy significantly through the use of active and passive
technologies even if it leads to a slight increase in embodied energy.

5. REASONS TO BUILD GREEN
1. Reduce building heating and cooling effect.
2. Reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases.
3. Increase building durability.
4. Increase health factor both inside and outside building.
5. Increase water conservation.

6. CHARACTERISTICS OF GREEN
BUILDING
1. Water efficiency: To minimize water consumption one should aim to use
the water which has been collected, used purified and reused.
2. Energy efficiency: The layout of the construction can be strategized so
that natural light pours for additional warmth. Shading the roof with
trees offers an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning.
3. Renewable energy: Solar energy could be utilized for a variety of
purposes and in a number of ways generating electricity, providing hot
water, and heating, cooling, and lighting buildings.
4. Material efficiency: Material should be use that can be recycled and can
generate surplus amount of energy.

10. GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS
The sustainable building materials should have resource
efficiency, high recycled content, rapidly renewable resources
and has no negative environmental impacts. For example,
• Fly ash-lime bricks
• Low voc paints
• Bamboo mat boards
• Marble slurry blocks
• Coir polymer composite boards and ply
• Solar panels
• Movement sensors for lighting etc.

12. GOALS OF GREEN BUILDING
 To meet the needs of society in ways without damaging or
depleting natural resources on earth.
 The idea is to meet present needs without making any
compromises, focus is being shifted on making products that
can be fully reclaimed or re-used.
 It maximizes the use of efficient building materials and
construction practices.
 To reduce the rate of growth of energy consumption while
enhancing economic development.

13. ADVANTAGES
• Does not emit anything harmful into the air
• Can bring economic benefits to certain areas.
• Requires less maintenance.
• Renewable this means we will never run out of the sources.
• Can slow the effects of global warming by reducing CO2
Emissions.

14. DISADVANTAGES
• High implementing costs.
• Lack of information.
• No known alternative process technology.

15. DIFFERENT FROM OTHER
BUILDING
1. The design, maintenance and construction of buildings have
tremendous effect on our environment and natural
resources.
2. 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.
3. It also minimizes the waste in construction by recovering
materials and reusing or recycling them.

18. CONCLUSION
With increasing degradation of the environment because of increased energy
consumption, environment conscious building design has become necessary.
The benefits of green design to society in general, and building owners and
users in particular, are manifold. The construction of such buildings results in
reduced destruction of natural habitats and bio-diversity, reduced air and
water pollution, less water consumption, limited waste generation and
increased user productivity. With increasing threat on our planet earth caused
by depleting resources and increasing emissions it is absolutely pertinent that
all our future buildings should be designed to function as “green buildings”.
