CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION

There is a growing level of public awareness of green building.

However, there have been extensive debates on what a green building
is or what the green building should cover. Indeed, the luck of clear
definition of green building created further challenges for promoting
and implementing green building.

What is Green Building?

Green building (also known as green construction or suitable

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
building.
Market estimates suggest that India will be adding 11.5 million homes
every year thus, marking it the world’s third largest construction
market by 2020. This will be very much beneficial for a future
generation because after finishing the natural energy sources we need
a source of energy to generate machines and a lot of a things, that’s
why we will use free energy sources.

(GREEN ENERGY BUILDING) Page 9

 10

There is a need of concentrating on a Green Home, which is one of

the most important and one of the discussed topics throughout the
globe, in the age of global warming and climate change worldwide.
In this situation, some middle way is necessary to be found out, to
encourage the green construction.
A green building depletes as little of the natural resources during its
construction and operation (Barnhart, Mitchell et al [1]). It involves
design and construction practices that reduce the negative impacts of
the building and its occupants is as follow “A Green Building should
create delight when entered, serenity and healthy when occupied and
regret when departed.”

1.2 THE AIM OF GREEN CONSTRUCTION

• Minimize the demand on non-renewable resources
• Maximize the utilization efficiency of these resources when in use
• Maximize reuse and recycling of available resources, and
• Utilization of renewable resources.
• The Green Building movement has gained tremendous momentum in
the past 4 -5 years, since CII- Godrej GBC embarked on achieving the
prestigious LEED rating for its own centre at Hyderabad. The
platinum rating awarded to this building, sparked off enough
enthusiasm in the country.
• From a humble beginning of 20000 sq. Ft of green footprint in the
country in the year 2003. To a staggering 10 million sq. Ft by the end
of the year 2008, given building are well poise to reach scale height.

1.3 OBJECTIVE
Green building is designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
environment on human health and the natural environment by:
• Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee
productivity.
• Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation.
• Using energy, water and other resources efficiently.
• By reducing waste, pollution, and environment degradation.

To design a residentially viable Green Building including maximum

open space with cost effective design and materials.

1.4 NEED OF THE PROJECT

It is general belief that a Green Home will cost much more than a
conventional home, but some middle way is required to be found out
by analysing the real situation & conditions in the market. In these
days, when everyone is talking about the Green construction, there is
need of a way by whicha common can afford a Green Home.

CHAPTER – 2
LITERATURE REVIEW

RESEARCH ANALYSIS :-
Janet L. Sawin: Sawin's research in the early 2000s examined the
potential of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind
power, to reduce carbon emissions in the built environment.
Hawken's work during this time highlighted the economic and
environmental benefits of green building, including energy cost
savings and improved indoor air quality.

Delia d’agostino at. Al (2019)

The building optimized through the implementation of the best

performing measures showed an overall 90% reduction in operational
primary energy compared to the baseline building. The inclusion of
the embodied energy altered the energy performance calculations
resulting in 55–67% reduction in total energy over a 10-year period,
and 77–82% over a 30-year period. Results point to the importance of
a comprehensive implementation of measures, such as thermal
improvements, high efficiency equipment, appliances, and renewable
energy generation.

In 2020’s Continued Research: In the current decade, scientists and

researchers continue to explore innovative green building
technologies and practices, with a focus on addressing emerging
challenges such as climate resilience, embodied carbon emissions, and
circular economy principles.

METHODOLOGY
3.1 THEORY
This study aims illustrating a method able to select the technology
measure that are most convenient from an economic and environment
perspective. A new residential building located in Milan (Italy) is
chosen as a case study. An assessment approach based on multi-
attribute utility theory (MAUT) has been developed to support a
multi-critical evaluation of selected technology measures.
• Understanding Green Building.
• Design of Green Building.
• Structural Design.
• Certification and Guideline.
The project used a mixed methodology to synthesize knowledge on
alternative solution in green building. This mixed method approach
includes primary research consisting of interviews with green
building practitioner and secondary research using document analysis.
Interviews are the primary source of data for the study of identify and
collect alternative solution and discuss the regulatory experience of
green building. The goal set for the number of interviews was
approximately 15 practitioners, planners or green building project
mangers . Key information includes project managers of pinners of
green building who are familiar with details of building code
variances for building cede . Fire code or plumbing code requirements
and identified using the following criteria.

Components of Green Energy Building

Components Green Energy building consist a lot of a components, it plays

an huge role in our environment here are some following components are
as follows :-

4.1 SOLAR PANEL

As a clean , pollution-free renewable energy, solar energy is expected
to play an active role in the future energy diversification palm due to
its environmental friendliness and has very sufficient availability;
development of renewable energy utilization technologies applied to
buildings, such as the efficient
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either
through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate
solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be
stored in batteries or thermal storage.
The hydronic solar energy system uses dematerialized energy system
uses dematerialized water to transfer and store heat. The solar system
was designed to provide a highly reliable system for efficient
utilization of the available solar energy for heating , cooling ,
domestic water heating and pool heating.
The discovery of solar panels traces back to the mid-19th century when
the photovoltaic effect was first observed by French physicist
Alexandre-Edmond in 1839.
The First practical solar cell in 1954.

• Designing and orienting window. Walls and floots to utilize
direct sun light.
• Using direct sunlight for heating in winter and avoiding the
same in summer.
• Maximum use of natural delighting for ventilation
• Orientation : Buildings are strategically positioned to maximize solar
exposure, typically with more windows facing south (in the Northern
Hemisphere) to capture sunlight during the day
• Building Mass :- The structure's thermal mass, often achieved through
materials like concrete or adobe, absorbs and stores heat during the
day and releases it slowly at night, helping to regulate indoor
temperatures.
• Insulation : Adequate insulation minimizes heat loss during colder
months and prevents excessive heat gain during warmer months,
improving overall energy efficiency.

1. Parking area.
2. Grey water recycles.
3. Ground water recharge.

5.1 PARKING AREA

Strategy Development for Development Footprints: All the
strategies are development keeping in view of the objective outline by
Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) & LEED –INDIA NC
guideline.

The strategy developed are enlisted below.

Table 6.1 Strategies for Parking

TOTAL 2000

The footprints generate due to parking can be effectively reduced by

the following strategies.
This includes:
• Parking of the vehicles at the respective basements.
• Parking of vehicles in one basement.
Under the said strategy, all the vehicles that are to be parked in a
particular building could make use of the basement of the building for
parking purpose. In this way, the existing footprints along the road
would decrease. So that the footprints of the entire road network
beyond that of the first building is eliminated.

Another strategy developed is on the concept of parking all the

vehicle beneath a single or at the initial basement. By that, is implied
on leaving the other building. They shall also result in the workers
walking to their respective of building or using any other mode of
transportation that are potentially harmless to the environment.

ALTERNATIVE TRANPORTATION:
• Promote the use of vehicle which are low on emission.
• Minimize parking need so as to meet the local building rules.
• Promoting car pools and van pools to resuce the number of
vehicles.
Minimize Parking Comminuting to the Local Zoning Rules:
Pooling of vehicles:
In this process, a certain number of people combining to commute to
a place in a single vehicle-a means to resuce development footprint .
Strategies including allotting preferred parking slot for car and van
pools which would be capable of serving 5% of the total parking
spaces.

(GREEN ENERGY Page 41

 42

Strategies for Lighting

Through not a major factor concerning footprints, it is important to
ensure that the exterior lighting is designing in such a way that all the
site and building mounted to ensure luminaries do not produce a
maximum initial luminance value not greater than 0.01 horizontal and
vertical foot candles at the size boundary and beyond.

5.2 GREY WATER RECYCLING

Assume no of occupants in 2BHK = 6
For Residential building per capital demand = 135lpcd
So, total water consumption in a month = 135*6*30= 24300liter.
Avg.cost of 1000 liter fresh water in India = 40rs
Hence, monthly cost of water for proposed house = 24.3 * 40 =
972Rs.
Total saving on recycles 14580 liters =14580 *40/1000 = 583.2 Rs.
Hence total saving = 4665.6

5.3 GROUND WATER RECHARGE

Recharge shaft technique of GW recharge is propose
Avg.Annual rainfall Nowgong region=323mm
Total = 691mm
Total Catchment Area (roof) = 930sq.ft = 930*0.3048 = 86.39mm.
Avg. Annual water recharge = 47762 liter.
