Green Buildings in India

Green buildings are designed to reduce impacts on human health and the environment by using resources like energy, water, and materials more efficiently. They create healthier spaces that save money. The Indian Green Building Council promotes green construction in India to conserve land, water, energy, air, and materials, lowering costs and climate impacts. Green buildings earn certification levels based on their environmental features and performance. Many green building projects have been completed in major Indian cities.

Green Buildings In India

A green building, which is also known as a sustainable building is designed to meet some
objectives such as occupant health; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently;
and reducing the overall impact to the environment. It is an opportunity to use the resources
efficiently while creating healthier buildings that improve human health, build a better
environment, and provide cost savings. All the development projects lead to over-consumption
of natural resources.Green building also known as green construction or sustainable building. It
is a way of enhancing the environment. It benefits humans, the community, and the environment
in order to reduce resource consumption while enhancing quality of life. this ultimately results in
reduction of green house gases which will help to reduce green house effect. this paper presents
an overview of application of modern green infrastructure construction technology which makes
a significant impact on conservation/proper utilization of resources like land, water, energy, air,
material thereby reducing the overall cost of construction as well as adverse impacts of climate
change.

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.

GREEN BUILDING FEATURES


Eco-Friendly-by least disturbance to eco system. Energy efficient-through the natural lighting
ventilation and solar passive designs efficient use of water-through recycling and water
harvesting use of renewable energy-through photo voltaic systems and solar system etc.non toxic
material in door environment, use of recycle/recyclable materials, efficient waste utilization and
disposal

PRINCIPLES OF GREEN BUILDING


• Sustainable Site Design
• Water Quality and Conservation
• Energy and Environment
• Indoor Environmental Quality
• Materials and Resources

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)

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 programmers’ to cover commercial, residential,
factory buildings, etc
Each rating system divided into different levels of certification is as follows:
1. Certified? to recognize best practice
2. Gold to recognize national excellence
3. Platinum to recognize global leadership

DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BUILDINGS
The design, maintain and construction of buildings have tremendous effect on our environment
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 April2011) are being constructed all over India. Of
which 147 green buildings are certified and fully functional
Buildings have a large effect on the environment, human health and the economy. The successful
adoption of GREEN BUILDING developed can maximize both the economic and environmental
performance of the buildings.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Protect bio diversity and eco systems, improve air and water quality, reduce waste streams,
conserve natural resources.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Reduce operating cost, 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 life.
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.
• Reduce operating costs Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services
Improve occupant productivity.
