 What is green building development?
Green building is the practice of creating structures and using
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient processes
throughout a building's life cycle from sitting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the
classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability,
and comfort. Green building is also known as sustainable or high-
performance building.

GREEN BUILDING
PRACTICES
THE FOUR MOST POPULAR
GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES
ARE:

Net-Zero Buildings
Climate Resiliency
Distributed Energy Systems
Alternative Building Materials
 NET ZERO
BUILDINGS
These days many contractors are aiming to build Net-Zero
Buildings as these are the structures whose energy use is
essentially balanced by their energy production. This kind of
construction project aims to reduce carbon emissions, water
use, and solid waste transportation to landfills.
 Climate Resiliency
Climate Resilient design stands for the designs structures,
landscapes, regions, and communities in a way that they can
withstand both natural and man-made calamities or disaster as
well as the long-term effects of climate change.
 distributed
energy systems
A distributed energy system (DES) controls generation,
storage, and energy monitoring solutions. The system can
monitor and keep track of a building's performance, including
heating, cooling, lighting, and more, using sensors, meters, and
actuators. It can also make recommendations for lowering
expenses and boosting dependability.
 alternative building
materials
Alternate building materials are those which can be used
economically by replacing conventional building materials.
Alternate building materials are made from waste products and
thus it even minimizes environmental pollutions. Following are
some of the new and alternate building materials used in
construction works:
Aluminum, Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics, Bamboo
reinforced plastics, Ferro-cement, Polyester Fibers
Green building benefits
Reduce operating costs
Improve air and water
quality
Reduce material use and use
low-impact materials
Improve overall quality of life
REDUCE OPERATING COSTS
One of the greatest benefits of green buildings
are their lower maintenance costs – featuring
specially-engineered design elements to lower
energy consumption and help reduce energy
cost and water bills for each occupant.
IMPROVE AIR AND WATER
QUALITY
Green buildings effectively reduce air pollution through
reduced energy use, the use of appropriate refrigerants,
the use of materials with low off-gassing, and other
steps. On the other hand, water use typically results in
draws of clean water from the environment and delivery
of contaminated water back to the environment.
 REDUCE MATERIAL USE AND
USE LOW-IMPACT MATERIALS
All materials carry embodied environmental
effects, in that there are environmental and
ecological consequences as a result of their
production and use through their life cycle.
IMPROVE OVERALL
QUALITY OF LIFE
From interior design elements like improved lighting
sources, thermal conditions, ergonomic features and
even upgraded air quality, occupants residing or
working in green structures have experienced a
marked improvement in their health, stress levels and
overall quality of life.
Green building Principles
Five Principles of Green Building

Optimize Site Potential

Energy efficiency
Healthy Indoor Environmental
Quality
Building Materials
Water conservation
 Optimize Site
Potential
Whether designing a new building or retrofitting an existing
building, site design must integrate with sustainable design to
achieve a successful project and begins with the proper site
selection, including the existing building’s rehabilitation.
 Energy efficiency

Improving the energy efficiency of existing structures is crucial

to achieving energy independence.
 Healthy Indoor
Environmental Quality
A sustainable building maximizes daylighting, has appropriate
ventilation and moisture control, optimizes acoustic
performance, and avoids materials with high VOC emissions,
among other characteristics.
 Building Materials

Throughout its entire life cycle, a sustainable building is

designed and operated to use and reuse materials in the most
productive and environmentally friendly manner.
 Water conservation

Freshwater resources in our country are increasingly becoming

a scarcity. A sustainable building design and construction is one
that uses water efficiently to minimize the impact that affects
freshwater stock.

RADIANT FLOORS
Using thermal radiation
and electromagnetic
waves, a radiant floor
heating system warms
up a room by heating
the floor directly rather
than warming the air in
the room
GREYWATER RECYCLING
Greywater recycling is
the process of treating
wastewater from
fixtures like showers,
bathtubs, and sinks so
that it can be supplied
back into a building for
non-potable uses like
flushing toilets.
SOLAR POWER
Solar power is the use of
the sun's energy either
directly as thermal
energy (heat) or through
the use of photovoltaic
cells in solar panels and
transparent photovoltaic
glass to generate
electricity.
GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS
Geothermal system is a
natural heat transfer
within a confined
volume of the Earth's
crust where heat is
transported from a heat
source to a heat sink,
usually the free surface
ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOW SYSTEM
Energy-efficient
windows decrease heat
transfer in both
directions and stop
conditioned air from
escaping from
buildings.
