 Introduction
● Green buildings refers to both a structure and the
application of processes that are environmentally
responsible and resource efficient.

3
 Site Integration
● Site integration has some factors.They are
1) Enhance naturally occurring biodiversity
2) Manage storm water
3) Reduce heat islands
4) Reduce light pollution.

4
 Green building criterions
● There are five factors in green building criterions:
1) Sustainable sitting and design
2) Green building materials
3) Water efficiency
4) Energy efficiency
5) On-site power generation

5
 Green Building Materials
● Use salvaged building products
● Use recycled content building products
● Use locally available or naturally occurring building
products
● Use rapidly renewable resources
● Use certified wood

6
 Water Efficiency
1)Use low flow plumbing fixtures
2)Use high performance appliances
3)Use a rain water collection system
4)Use high efficiency irrigation systems

7
 Energy Efficiency
● Using less energy to perform the task
● Eliminates the energy waste
● Reduce green gas emissions
● Lower our cost on a household and economy wide
level

8
 Onsite Power Generation
● Maximize energy efficiency before power generation
● Wind turbines
● Micro hydro power systems
● Solar thermal systems
● Biomass power systems

9
 Energy Efficient Products

● Use high performance roofing

● Use high performance lighting systems
● Use high performance heating,ventilation and air
conditioning systems

10
 Conclusion
● Green building is conducive to reduce energy
consumption and saving land and water.
● It enhances the peoples quality of life.
