Introduction about green building
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) expands and complements
the building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
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.
Main features of eco-friendly housing:
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.
Conserving the natural environment.
Economic sustainability.
Fundamental principles:
• 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.
• WATER EFFICIENCY:
To minimize water consumption one should aim to use the water which has been collected, used, purified
and reused.
• 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,not only they provide lightening but they are also a useful energy source.
Karji et al., (2020), in the United States of America, investigated the barriers to sustainability
promotion in the construction industry.

CONCLUSION
Important features of green building:
The present study was executed with the following strategies as enumerated below showing their positive
outcomes and
observations:-
impervious blanket like concrete slabs or stone slabs was provided all
round the building to reduce erosion of soil and thereby avoiding exposure offoundation surface and crack
formation
.
ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS
• Protect biodiversity and ecosystems Improve air and water quality Reduce waste streams Conserve
natural resources . we can also improve ground water levels.
Economic benefits:
• Reduce operating costs • 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 of life.

AFFECT ON NATURAL RESOURCES
• According to surveys conducted in 2022, of total land area iequivalent to 7.55 billion sq ft,s 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.
Observation and analysis:
This research identified the exciting developments taking place on the technology front
and analyzes their implications for intelligent and green buildings, highlighting
examples of “best in class” buildings employing green and intelligent technologies.
These buildings are dynamic environments that respond to their occupants‟ changing
needs and lifestyles. This research provided documented evidence to educate and
influence end-users, building owners, architects, and contractors that a “greener
building” can be achieved using intelligent technology and that this “greening” will
provide a tangible and significant return on investment.
