ABSTRACT A green building, which is also known as a sustainable building is designed to meet some objectives such as occupant health; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact to the environment. It is an opportunity to use the resources efficiently while creating healthier buildings that improve human health, build a better environment, and provide cost savings. All the development projects lead to over-consumption of natural resources. Green building (known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's lifecycle. 

Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources



Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity



Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus

on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Although some green building programs don't address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes, others do. Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit work as well as new construction.

Green buildings are 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 environmental degradation

o Why Build Green : The built environment has a vast impact on the natural environment, human health, and the economy. By adopting green building strategies, we can maximize both economic and environmental performance. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design and construction team takes an integrated approach from the earliest stages of a building project. Potential benefits of green building can include :

 Environmental benefits :    

Enhance and protect biodiversity and ecosystems Improve air and water quality Reduce waste streams Conserve and restore natural resources

 Economic benefits :  Reduce operating costs  Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services  Optimize life-cycle economic performance

 Social benefits :    

Enhance occupant comfort and health Heighten aesthetic qualities Minimize strain on local infrastructure Improve overall quality of life

CHAPTER – 02 FEATURES OF GREEN CONCEPT o Essential Concepts of Green Buildings : A green building is one whose development and lifetime of operation guarantees the most beneficial conceivable environment while speaking to the most productive and slightest problematic utilization of land, water, vitality, and different assets. Makers, developers, originators, and buyers are making a growing business sector for lodging and home items that dirty less and are more asset proficient. By utilizing green items and practices, our homes can be solid and agreeable additionally earth well disposed and cost proficient. Here are 10 rules with a couple of case to consider for everyone.           

Create outline gets ready for the building itself. Situate and outline working to site needs, atmosphere, and neighborhood conditions. Augment the utilization of normal sunlight. Research building materials. Reuse existing materials, use less materials, and use building materials that are thought to be naturally cordial. Plan for solid indoor air quality. Set high lighting-effectiveness measures. Select machines that are vitality productive and save money on water use. Plan for simplicity of upkeep and utilization of earth neighborly cleaning items. Keep up basic and building frameworks for most extreme vitality and ecological adequacy.

o Principles of Green Architecture and Sustainability Passive features shape an irreplaceable piece of Green Building Design that is the most essential and imperative stride to be accomplished with a specific end goal to make a reasonable and Green environment. Passive components of a Green Building are the configuration includes that are to be fused in a building with the goal that it requires utilization of lesser energy assets by the clients of the building furthermore keep up an agreeable way of life. Dynamic elements of Green Architecture infer on the utilization of gear that chips away at Renewable assets and help in the protection of regular and non-renewable assets which includes:  Site and its environment  Energy Efficiency  Water Efficiency TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 10

 Material Efficiency and Waste Reduction  Indoor Air Quality

o The Need for Green Buildings in India We are aware that our office or residential building could be harming the environment? Is it possible that your building is spewing harmful pollutants without you realizing it? We are well aware about various environmental issues such as global warming, water and air pollution and the measures that need to be taken to prevent them. If we switch to sustainable architecture and green buildings in India, not just for nature’s sake, but for ourselves, we could not only save the environment but also reduce our total ownership costs. The building construction industry produces the second largest amount of demolition waste and greenhouse gases (35-40%). The major consumption of energy in buildings is during construction and later in lighting or air-conditioning systems. While, various amenities like lighting, air conditioning, water heating provide comfort to building occupants, but also consume enormous amount of energy and add to pollution. Further, occupant activities generate large amount of solid and water waste as well.

Building green is not about a little more efficiency. It is about creating buildings that optimize on the use of local materials, local ecology and most importantly they are built to reduce power, water and material requirements. Thus, if these things are kept in mind, then we will realize that our traditional architecture was in fact, very green. According to TERI estimates, if all buildings in Indian urban areas were made to adopt green building concepts, India could save more than 8,400 megawatts of power, which is enough to light 550,000 homes a year.

There are five fundamental principles of Green Building :  Sustainable Site Design 

Create minimum urban sprawl and prevent needless destruction of valuable land, habitat and open space.  Encourage higher density urban development as a means to preserve valuable green space.  Preserve key environmental assets through careful examination of each site.

TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 11

 Water Quality & Conservation 

Preserve the existing natural water cycle and design the site so that they closely emulate the site’s natural hydrological systems.  Emphasis on retention of storm water and on-site infiltration as well as ground water recharging. 

Minimize the inefficient use of potable water on the site while maximizing the recycling and reuse of water, including rainwater harvesting, storm water, and gray water.

 Energy & Environment 

Minimize adverse impact on the environment through optimized building siting & design, material selection, and aggressive use of energy conservation measures.  Maximize the use of renewable energy and other low impact energy sources.  Building performance should exceed minimum International Energy Code (IEC) compliance level by 30-40%.

 Indoor Environmental Quality  

Provide a healthy, comfortable and productive indoor environment for building occupants Utilize the best possible conditions in terms of indoor air quality, ventilation, and thermal comfort, access to natural ventilation and day lighting.

 Materials and Resources 

Minimize the use of non-renewable construction materials through efficient engineering and construction, and effective recycling of construction debris.  Maximize the use of recycled materials, modern energy efficient engineered materials, and resource efficient composite type structural systems as well as sustainably managed, biomass materials.

Sufficient technical background and an understanding of green building practices are needed for implementing these fundamental principles, so that a building can be considered a truly “green building”. CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, ITC Royal Gardenia Bengaluru and Suzlon One Earth, Pune are some of the earliest green buildings constructed in India. Check this list of top certified green buildings in India.

o Green Building Certifying Agencies : There are various certifying agencies that help building developers to implement these principles and get green certification. Some of them are:

LEED -India LEED is an acronym for ‘Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design’, which is an international recognized certification system for the green buildings. The LEED-India Green Building Rating System is an international benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings (provided by IGBC).

IGBC Ratings – The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) is a division of the Confederation of Indian Industry that works closely with the government and aims at sustainably built environment. It offers four levels of rating for new buildings that is valid for 3 years: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Apart from new building certification, the ‘IGBC Green Existing Building O&M Rating System’ offered by the for applying sustainable concepts for existing buildings.

BEE ECBC – TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 13

The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) was established by the Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to set energy efficiency standards for design and construction of buildings.

TERI GRIHA – The Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment is a national rating system for green buildings that is adopted while designing and evaluating new buildings.

o Green Building Concept and Architecture Planning To have Green Building Concept, we should look after the following :     

Optimum use of Energy or power Water conservation Solid and Water Waste management, its treatment and reuse Energy efficient transport systems Efficient Building System Planning etc.

If all Buildings in urban areas were made to adopt green Building concepts, India could save more than 8400 MW of power which is enough to light half of Delhi or 5.5 lakh homes a year according to estimates by TERI. A green building depletes very little of the natural resources during its construction and operation. The aim of a green building design is to minimize the demand on non-renewable resources and maximize the utilization efficiency of these resources when in use and utilization of renewable resources. Building Planning should minimize the use of building materials and optimize construction practices and sinks by bio-climatic architectural practices; use minimum energy to power itself for the use of equipment and lighting and air-conditioning and lastly maximize the use of renewable sources of energy. It should also use efficiently waste and water management practices; and provide comfortable and hygienic indoor working conditions. It is evolved through a design process that requires all concerned –the architect and landscape designer and the air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and energy consultants – to work as a team to address all aspects of building including system planning, design, construction and operation. Thus, enhance the positive impacts on the environment.

TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Architects & planners should start thinking green in the planning of Buildings. Integrating living & vegetation with architecture is fast gaining popularity around the world and now a new term "Vegitecture" has been coined for it and it is becoming common. Thus the Architect may think to bring concrete jungles to green jungles through "Vegitecture". The Architect can use large windows with Double glass system. The glazed trapping will act as insulating layer of air between the two layers of glass. One of these layers of glass filters and disperses light and heat without reflecting it back outside the building. The air conditioning system will also be less intensive because the double glazing system insulates the building. Further, hollow fly ash bricks can be used in walls during construction. This will also provide good insulating properties apart from using waste materials.

o Contribution of Concrete towards Green House Gases Among the primary concrete making materials, the emission of CO2 is largely attributable to cement production. It is estimated that modern cements contain on an average of about 84% Portland cement clinker and the clinker manufacturing process releases about 0.9 ton of CO2 per ton of clinker. The Concrete Industry World wide consume more than 3.5 billon tons of cement, so the carbon contribution of this industry is obviously quite large. Thus minimizing concrete consumption through innovative architecture and structural designs is one way to save on the use of cement. Another way is to use smart concrete mixture proportioning approach. This can be done through following approaches:  Minimize concrete consumption through innovative architecture and Structural Design methods.  Use smart concrete mixture or i-crete as proportioning approach to save on cement in concrete mix.  Consume less Cement in concrete / mortar mixtures.  Consume less Clinker in Cement making by adding Pozzolana like fly ash or GGBFS in Cement or Concrete. 

o Characteristics of Green Building Building construction and its upkeep for livable conditions requires huge energy in lighting, air-conditioning, operation of appliances etc. Green Building i.e. energy efficient building is the one which can reduce energy consumption by at least 40% as compared to conventional building. The cost of constructing energy efficient building is estimated to be 15 – 20% higher as compared to conventional building without energy efficiency. TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

However, this is more than compensated over the period of time i.e during life cycle cost and operation & living. Using green building materials and products, promotes conservation of non renewable resources internationally. In addition, integrating green building materials into building projects can help reduce the environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transport, processing, fabrication, installation, reuse, recycling, and disposal of these building industry source materials.

Green Building Products and Materials : Building and Construction activities worldwide consume about 3 billon tons of raw materials each year. Using green building materials and products promotes conservation of dwindling non renewable resources. In addition, integrating green building materials into building projects can help reduce the environmental impacts associated with the excavation, extraction, transport, processing, recycling and disposal of these building industry source materials. Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather than nonrenewable resources and are environmentally responsible because impacts are considered over the life cycle period. Depending upon project-specific goals, an assessment of green materials may involve an evaluation of one or more of the following parameters:      



Resource efficiency Energy efficiency Affordability Possible Recycling of Material and Waste generation Water conservation Effective Indoor air quality

Resource Efficiency: It can be accomplished by utilizing materials that meet the following criteria.



Resource efficient manufacturing process: Products manufactured with resource-efficient processes including reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste (recycled, recyclable and or source reduced product packaging) and thus reducing greenhouse gases. 

Local availability: Building materials, components and systems found locally or regionally will save energy and resources in transportation to the project site. TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 16



Salvaged, refurbished, or remanufactured:

It avoids the material from disposal and renovating, repairing, restoring, or generally improving the appearance, performance, quality, functionality or value of a product. 

Durable:

Materials that are longer lasting or are comparable to conventional products with long life expectancies. 

Energy Efficiency:

It can be maximized by utilizing materials and systems that meet the various criteria that help reduce energy consumption in buildings and facilities as indicated above. 

Affordability:

It can be considered as the cost for the building product when life-cycle costs are comparable to conventional materials or as a whole it is within a project-defined percentage of the overall budget. 

Effective Indoor Air Quality: It should enhance by utilizing such material and meet the following criteria:



Low or non-toxic : Materials that emit few or no carcinogens, reproductive toxicants or irritants as demonstrated by the manufacturer through appropriate testing. 

Minimal chemical emissions :

Products that have minimal emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Products that also maximize resource and energy efficiency while reducing chemical emissions. 

Low-VOC assembly :

Materials installed with minimal VOC-producing compounds, or no-VOC mechanical attachment methods with minimal hazards.

TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 17



Moisture resistant :

Products and systems that resist moisture or inhibit the growth of biological contaminants in buildings.

o Some Steps for Material Selection Material selection can begin after the establishment of project-specific environmental goals. The environmental assessment process for building material involves three basic steps.

 Survey  Evaluation  Selection  Survey: This step involves gathering of all technical information about the material which can be indentified, including manufacturers' information such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) test data, product warranties, source material characteristics, recyclable content data, environmental, performance and durability information. In addition, this step may also involve investigating other issues like building codes, government regulations, building industry performance, model green building product specifications etc. Such survey will help in identifying the full range of the project's material options. 

Evaluation :

This step involves confirmation of the technical information, as well as filling in information gaps. For example, the evaluator may request product certifications from manufacturers to help sort out possible exaggerated environmental product claims. Evaluation and assessment is relatively simple when comparing similar types of building materials using the environmental criteria. However, the evaluation process is more complex when comparing different products with the same function. Then it may become necessary to process both descriptive and quantitative forms of data. A life cycle assessment (LCA) is an evaluation of the relative "greenness" of building materials and products. LCA addresses the impact of a product through all of its life stages.

TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 18

This tool that can be used is the LCA methodology through a software evaluation like BEES (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) software. Such software can easily be developed or otherwise available commercially 

Selection:

This step often involves the use of an evaluation matrix for scoring the project-specific environmental criteria. The total score of each product evaluation will indicate the product with the highest environmental attributes. Individual criteria included in the rating system can be weighted to accommodate project-specific goals and objectives.

o Advantages of Green Building Materials : Green building materials offer some or all of the following benefits to the building owner and building occupants:      

Reduced maintenance/ replacement costs over the life of the building Energy conservation Improved occupant health and productivity Life cycle cost savings Lower costs associated with changing space configurations. Greater design flexibility

o Sustainable Development or Sustainable Building Concept : It is a development that meets the needs of present without compromising the needs of future generations to come. The concept of sustainable building incorporates and integrates a variety of strategies during the design, construction and operation of building projects. The use of green building materials and products represents one important strategy in the design of a building. As more than 40% population is living in the cities so these cites should be made Sustainable first.

o Waste Generation : Huge amount of waste is generated every day in each city. For example, Delhi alone generates more than 6,500 tons of Garbage every day. By 2020 its amount will reach 1800 tons every day. Such amount of waste disposal is a Herculean task and will need space for dumping and fuel costs for transportation of waste upto disposal areas. In the cities the disposal areas are outside city which are miles apart. Therefore, this waste must be processed at nearby places and reused as much as possible. Local processing of the waste will not only keep the city clean but also generate energy and TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

Page 19

resource materials. It will also generate huge employment opportunities and give several other advantages and thus sustainable.

o Some Benefits of a Green Building Concept : 

      

Green buildings are designed to be healthier and having more enjoyable working environment. Workplace qualities that improve the environment and which help in developing the knowledge of workers and may also reduce stress and lead to longer lives for multidisciplinary teams. Reduced energy and water consumption without sacrificing the comfort level. Significantly, better lighting quality including more day lighting, better daylight harvesting and use of shading, greater occupancy control over light levels and less glare. Improved thermal comfort and better ventilation. Limited waste generation due to recycling process and reuse. Increase productivity of workers and machines. It is reported that productivity can be increased by about 25% while following such green house norms. Attracting and retaining the best employees, can be linked to the benefits and qualities of workers receive, including the physical, environmental and technological aspects. Green building activities result in reduction of operating costs by 25-30%.

Prior art search Reaserch paper 1 Abstract Growing concerns about the detrimental effects of the construction industry on the natural environment and human health have increased the popularity of green building (GB) globally. That is, GB has emerged as a promising way of making the activities and operations of the construction industry sustainable to the environment and human health. Over the past few years, studies on the benefits of GB have been conducted and published. However, little scholarly attention has been paid to the need to review the existing literature on the benefits of GB adoption. This paper contributes to addressing this research gap by providing a systematic review of selected academic papers published in construction management (CM) journals from 2000 to 2014 (years inclusive). Results showed that reduced lifecycle costs, energy saving, enhanced occupants' health and comfort, improved overall productivity, and environmental protection are the most reported benefits in the literature. The outcomes of this paper would broaden the understanding of stakeholders on GB benefits and encourage them to adopt GB. The checklist of GB benefits also makes this paper useful for researchers to conduct future studies in this area.

Reaserch paper 2 Re-Assessing Green Building Performance: A Post-Occupancy Evaluation of 22 GSA Buildings K.M. Fowler, M. Rauch, J.W. Henderson, and A.R. Kora. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Wash. 2010. Fowler et al. included updated data from the 12 GSA green buildings included in Fowler and Rauch (2008) plus data from 10 additional green buildings. In all, the study included 8 courthouses, 12 federal buildings (office space), and 2 courthouse/federal buildings. Thirteen of the buildings were LEED-certified, 3 were LEED-registered (1 of these buildings did not specify the proposed level of certification), while the others emphasized energy efficiency during the design phase. These buildings accounted for approximately one-third of the 40 GSA buildings that were LEED-certified as of late 2009. The methodology used was generally the same as Fowler and Rauch (2008). The results were generally consistent with those of Fowler and Rauch (2008). Specifically, the authors found that for the GSA buildings: 



Energy performance was better than or equal to the baseline for all of the buildings. The energy performance average of the buildings was 25 percent better than CBECS national baseline, 10 percent better than GSA regional averages for fiscal year (FY) 2009, 13 percent better than FY2009 GSA Target values (goal for energy performance across GSA), and 18 percent better than CBECS regional averages (p. x). The CBECS national average used was for office buildings constructed between 1990 and 2003, while the regional averages were for all building types. Two-thirds of the green buildings used less water than the GSA baseline, with the average being 11 percent lower. Of the 6 green buildings with higher water use than the baseline, 5 TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

had cooling towers or evaporative cooling, 2 had exterior fountains in a hot, dry climate, and 3 had non-typical operating schedules (p. xi). On average, aggregate operating costs were 19 percent lower than the baseline (the aggregate operating cost metric included water and energy utilities, general maintenance, grounds maintenance, waste and recycling, and janitorial costs). Seventeen of the 22 green buildings had costs that ranged from 2 to 53 percent lower than the baseline. Five of the 22 green buildings

Problem and Analysis Building energy-efficient 'green' homes sounds like a great idea in theory. But in practice, especially in developing countries, it can be extremely expensive. In India, there are no direct incentives for building energy-efficient homes or commercial spaces. The Indian housing industry faces several problems while trying to be eco-friendly, according to international real estate services. A major challenge is that the overall demand for space in Indian cities has been gradually falling. India's top seven cities will see about 25 percent vacancies. Finding tenants or buyers willing to pay more for green space, therefore, is a serious challenge for developers. For private homeowners, there is no immediate motivation to take the energy efficient path.

Final Problem/ solution : As a result of the increased interest in green building concepts and practices, a number of organizations have developed standards, codes and rating systems that let government regulators, building professionals and consumers embrace green building with confidence. In some cases, codes are written so local governments can adopt them as bylaws to reduce the local environmental impact of buildings. During the observation we have found that proper using Ventilation, Maximum Provide a open to sky Operation. Most of use for sustainability concept natural content are maximum using. Making a building green begins at the planning stge. The aim has to be kept in mind throughout. Secondly, safety is paramount in case of a green building. If a labourer dies while the construction is on, the building is never given a green certification.  Minimum disruption of the site  Landscaping in Appropriate way  Maximum usage of microclimate features o A pH of value of soil ranging from 6.0 to 7.5 and organic content of not less than 1.5% by mass needs to be maintained. When the pH is less than 6, lime is added. This can adjust the value to 6.5 or higher. Any soil that has soluble salt content >500 ppm should not be used for the purpose of landscaping. o Preserve existing vegetation on site. Mark all existing vegetation in tree survey plan. Evolve tree preservation guidelines o For all mature trees removed for construction, as a compensation forestation has to be performed in a ratio of 1:5 within the site premises.

 Do not alter the existing drainage pattern on site. All the existing grades should be maintained around existing vegetation.  Use of recycled landscaping products.

o Be Smart When It Comes To Design Smaller buildings are generally more environmentally friendly and cheaper to run. Intelligent design means making the best use of space possible. It forces developers to start thinking creatively about space, and the future of infrastructure.

o Consider The Placement Of Windows Something as simple as the placement of windows can make a great deal of difference to the atmosphere of a room. Innovative technology for builders assist in identifying the most strategic window positions to take advantage of sunlight and natural breezes.

o Invest In Proper Insulation Insulation is another thing to consider when building an eco-friendly property. Investing in proper insulation keeps the area cool in the hotter months, and warm during the winter, minimising the need to run heating and cooling units regularly.

o Research Ways To Keep Your Roof Cool In particularly tropical areas like Australia, a building's exposure to the sun can result in heat being trapped inside the roof, gradually warming up the interior of the building. Green roofs are an innovative solution to this problem. Heat-reducing methods such as using reflective roof paint, roof covering, tiles, or planting grass will result in a cooler building, and save the energy and money it would otherwise take to cool it.

o Assess Durability and Lifespan Of Foundations Life expectancy in architecture and construction is growing in importance. Durable materials such as brick, stone, and concrete have a longer lifetime and are more eco-friendly during the demolition and disposal phase. Extensions, renovations, and refurbishments stretch the life of a building, especially when structures are built using durable materials.

o Use Sustainable, Biodegradable, and Recyclable Materials Where Possible Reusing old materials where possible is an easy way to save money and reduce environmental impacts of your construction. Products like recycled lumber, plastic, and glass are less damaging TYPICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING

than buying new. Biodegradable materials are also being produced with reduced energy costs and pollution.

o Install Water Saving Fixtures Reducing water wastage is easily achieved by installing water fixtures to reduce the flow of toilets, showerheads and taps. Encourage clients to purchase eco friendly products by calculating their future water savings.

o Think About Geothermal Heating A geothermal system harnesses temperatures below ground to warm residential homes or businesses. Pipes under the ground are led to a heat pump to either warm or cool the building. The relatively new technology only needs a small amount of electricity to run, saving owners money and energy.

o Determine Whether Property Can Be Run On Solar Solar power converts the sun’s radiation into energy. Installing solar panels may be expensive, but in the long run saves a lot of money and energy consumption. However, to take advantage of solar power, location must be considered, as well as the positioning of solar panels. Estimating software assists in determining how much power can be collected and saved.

o Investigate Innovative Approaches To Construction Such As 3D Printing As 3D printing technology develops, the future of eco-friendly construction is looking more and more promising. A Chinese based company recently used the technology to print ten concrete houses from recycled materials in just 24 hours. The carbon footprint of these technologically-led developments was significantly lower than traditional constructions, as well as being cheaper to run, and producing less waste.
