Introduction

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from sitting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

Main Objective Behind Making A Green Building

Green building are made to reduce the overall impact on the human body and on the environment.

To make the efficient use of water, energy and other resources.

To reduce waste, pollution, and environmental degradation.

Fundamental Principles Of A Green Building

Building should be water efficient.

Building should be energy efficient.

Amount of waste and pollution emitted from the building should be reduced.

Materials used in making the building should work efficiently towards the basic objectives of the “green building”.

Water Efficiency

Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality

Recycling the water on site

Use of ultra-low flush toilets and low-flow shower heads

Energy Efficiency

Use of high-efficiency windows and insulation in walls, ceilings and floors

Effective window placement

Onsite generation of renewable energy

Use of efficient electronic gadgets/instruments

Materials Efficiency

Use of rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other products that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, or recyclable

Manufacturing construction material on site in order to save energy utilised in transportation

Sustainable Design

Converting waste and wastewater into fertiliser

Use of human waste at the source along with other biological waste at biogas plant

Auto creation of Carbon Sinks

Recycling the solid waste materials

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

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.
