Green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices.

WHAT IS GREEN ARCHITECTURE AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

Also Known As:Sustainable development, eco-design, eco-friendly architecture, earth-friendly architecture, environmental architecture, natural architecture

Characteristics Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and

cooling Energy-efficient lighting and appliances Water-saving plumbing fixtures Landscapes planned to maximize passive solar energy Minimal harm to the natural habitat Alternate power sources such as solar power or wind power Non-synthetic, non-toxic materials Locally-obtained woods and stone Responsibly-harvested woods Adaptive reuse of older buildings Use of recycled architectural salvage Efficient use of space

Green building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle

Green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment.

The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

WHY A GREEN BUILDING?

Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has licensed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Standard from the U.S. Green Building Council and is responsible for certifying LEED-New Construction and LEED-Core and Shell buildings in India.

Indian Green Building Council, formed by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in 2001, is continuously striving towards wider adoption of eco-friendly and green building concepts in the Indian industry.CII Green Business Centre building in Hyderabad is one of the green buildings in India. There are three primary Rating systems in India:

GRIHA IGBC BEE EDGE LEED

LEED CERTIFICATION LEED, or Leadership in Energy &

Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project

LEED AND INDIA Triggering off the Green building movement in India is the first Platinum

Green Building in India: CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre in Hyderabad as per the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system. With a beginning of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) green built-up area in the country in the year 2003, as on date, 1,724 projects in India have registered under the IGBC Rating programmes, with a total footprint of over 1.2 billion sq ft

LEED 2011 for India-Core & Shell can be used for projects where the developer controls the design and construction of the entire core and shell base building including MEP/FP systems, but has no control over the design and construction of the tenant fit-out. Such type of developments include: Retail Malls, IT Parks, etc.

The council, now in its tenth year of operation, has crossed milestones, as highlighted below:

Over 1 billion sq ft (built-up space) of registered green buildings in India Over 1,300 strong IGBC member organizations Organizing Green Building Congress - India’s annual flagship event on

green building, since 2001

A green building is one which uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building.

OBSERVATION WHILE LIVE STUDY The Palace is Designed in a smart way i.e.

Keeping in mind the direction of sunrise and sunset.

Even in the ballrooms energy efficient lights were used.

The total amount of energy consumed by this building is just half as compared to other 5-star hotel.

Green environment is present everywhere.
