y Environmental Degradation and Energy Crisis y Building sector is the third largest consuming sector after industry and agriculture, account today for about 50% of the final energy consumption and is major sector responsible for environmental degradation. y Challenging task to pursue the goal of building environmentally suitable structure
Introduction
y structure and process that is environmentally
responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle y Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources y Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity y Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
competency and encouraging returns will encourage the real developers to shift towards construction of green buildings.

CASE STUDY
y OLYMPIA TECH PARK CHENNAI, INDIA y Building Type: Office y Approximate gross area: .13,00,000 Sq. Ft y Number of floors above ground: 8 y Year of completion: 2006
green option to recycle/reuse the entire building. y Allows opportunities for natural ventilation in summer and acts as a warm buffer zone in winter. y Energy efficient HVAC and electrical equipment and systems design providing considerable energy savings of over 25%. y High efficiency water system design resulting in water use reduction by over 40%.
CONT ..
y Effective use of recycled materials for over 15% of the
project cost. y Utilization of regionally manufactured materials for over 60% of the project cost thereby reducing the impact of environmental pollution. y Exemplary performance on construction waste management diverting close to 98% of the construction waste generated at site.
CONCLUSION:
y It becomes inevitable to steadily switch over to the use
of energy efficient building materials and technologies and device methods and mechanisms to utilize industrial/mine wastes and recycling and reuse of building wastes for the manufacture of building materials and products for the sustainable construction practices.
Lets join hands to promote this technology for our better sustainable future.
