GREEN ARCHITECTURE

Green architecture
Green architecture is a general term that describes environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture.
Green design, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. Green Architecture concepts can generally be organized into several areas of key application. These areas include: 1. Sustainability; 2. Materials Utilization; 3. Energy Efficiency and Recycling; 4. Land Use; 5. Waste Reduction and Recycling.
GREEN ARCHITECTURE

Sustainability
Green Structure can be recycled many times over the course of its useful life. If specific technical issues prevent use of the building for a new function, then the materials used in its construction are designed to facilitate ease of recycling and reprocessing of materials at end-ofuseful-life.

Materials Utilisation Green design reduces the dependence on resource intensive products and materials. There are an increasing number of products available made from efficient, earth-friendly or recycled materials. In a green building, consideration is also given to the construction process itself. Materials that minimise waste or can be recycled, help contribute to an efficient and environmentally sensitive construction process.

Energy Efficiency
Green buildings are designed to reduce or to eliminate the dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels. Additionally, green designs further help to minimise waste through the use of grey water recycling and other sustainable energy strategies.

Land Use

A green building is located to take advantage of its climate and surroundings. These conditions not only affect the efficiency of a building, community and society as a whole. Planning for responsible land use addresses these issues through the consideration of climate, transportation and the natural environment. Waste Reduction
Large quantities of waste is generated by the construction of a typical building. Green buildings are designed to eliminate waste by using modular systems of construction, recycled products, and efficient use of materials. The ideal green building seeks to create no waste either during construction or use, so the impact on the environment and resources is minimised. Operations and maintenance optimization Ensuring operations and maintenance(O&M) personnel are part of the project's planning and development process will help retain the green criteria designed at the onset of the project.Every aspect of green building is integrated into the O&M phase of a building's life.

GREEN ARCHITECTURE

Cost and payoff The most criticized issue about constructing environmentally friendly buildings is the price. Photo-voltaics, new appliances, and modern technologies tend to cost more money. Most green buildings cost a premium of <2%, but yield 10 times as much over the entire life of the building.

Regulation and operation

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. Green building codes and standards, such as the International Code Councils draft International Green Construction Code,are sets of rules created by standards development organizations that establish minimum requirements for elements of green building such as materials or heating and cooling.
