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 life-
cycle.
 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.

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

 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.

 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 –

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.

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.

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.

 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.

 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.

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

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%.

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.

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

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

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.
