INTRODUCTION
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.
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.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
The layout of the construction can be strategised
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.
Social
Economics
AFFECT ON NATURAL
RESOURCES
According to surveys conducted in 2006, 107.3
million acres of total land area is 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.
CONCLUSION
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.
