It is about to the detailed description of green buildings in india how they are developed and certification based on green building organization

1. GREEN BUILDING

2. INTRODUCTION Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) 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.

3. 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 .

4. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES Structure design efficiency Energy efficiency Water efficiency Materials efficiency Waste and toxic reduction

5. 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.

6. WATER EFFICIENCY: To minimize water consumption one should aim to use the water which has been collected, used, purified and reused.

7. 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 WASTE AND REDUCTION: It is probable to reuse resources. What may be waste to us may have another benefit to something else.

8. 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.

9. IGBC RATING SYSTEM IGBC 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 .

10. DIFFERENT TYPES OF GREEN BUILDINGS Other than IGBC there are some other rating system in Indian green building sector are LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) GRIHA(Green rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment)

11. GREEN BUILDINGS PROJECT IN INDIA Biodiversity Conservation India-Bangalore Olympia Technology Park-Chennai The Druk White Lotus School-Ladakh Raintree Hotels-Chennai Nokia- Gurgaon Rajiv Gandhi International Airport-Hyderabad ABN Amro Bank, Chennai

12. RAJIV GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT-HYDERABAD: 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.

13. 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.

14. SOME IMAGES OF GREEN BUILDINGS

15. 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.

16. INCREASING GREEN BUILDINGS IN INDIA Today more than 8,669 projects have registered with IGBC on various parts on India amount to a total footprint of 9.75 billion square feet

17. ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS Protect biodiversity and ecosystems Improve air and water quality Reduce waste streams Conserve natural resources

18. ECONOMIC BENEFITS Reduce operating costs Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services Improve occupant productivity

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