 Why Green Buildings? MNRE

• Concept of Green Building Design becoming popular all over the

world. 40% of energy consumption and 42% GHG emissions in
building sector

• Green Buildings have the advantages of :

- Reduced energy consumption and AC requirements

- Reduced water use

• 30 – 40% lower operation cost with negligible impact on project cost

 Green Building Design MNRE

• Sustainable site planning (orientation, landscaping etc.)

• Building envelope design (sun shades, window design, double
glazing, wall & roof insulation, roof painting etc)
• Building system design (heating ventilation & air conditioning,
electrical & day lighting etc)
• Integration of RE devices/ systems
• Water and waste management
• Use of ecologically sustainable materials
• Indoor environmental quality

A National Rating System for Green Buildings- GRIHA

 Large Area Developments
Green Campuses MNRE

• Large Area Developments include educational and institutional

campuses, medical colleges, hospitals, engineering college
complexes, SEZs, new townships etc.

• Large Area Developments need to address environmental,

economic, social sustainability and land use parameters within a
macro planning framework

• In addition to micro building benchmarks covered under

GRIHA, new macro benchmarks for energy consumption, water
consumption, waste handling, energy generation and
distribution, water pumping, street lighting, landscaping, access,
mobility, walkablity etc. will be addressed in Guidelines being
developed for Green Campuses/ Large Area Developments

 Biogas Plants based on
MNRE
Kitchen & Food Wastes
• A lot of kitchen, food and other wastes get generated in hospitals,
nursing homes and campuses of medical institutions
• Problems are faced in its safe and timely disposal, apart from
problems of odour, rodents, stray dogs etc.
• Technologies are now available which can process these wastes,
generate useful energy and produce organic manure
• One tonne of mixed waste can generate about 75 cum of biogas per
day equivalent to 135 units of electricity or 35 kg of LPG which is
more than two cylinders of cooking gas
• This can result in savings of Rs 2,000 per day in terms of cooking
gas or Rs 700 per day in terms of electricity
• Compact , portable and aesthetically good looking units have now
been developed and are being commercially deployed with pay
back periods of 3-4 years
