Buildings consume large amounts of global resources and produce significant pollution. Green buildings aim to reduce these environmental impacts by using resources efficiently and minimizing waste. They provide benefits such as lower operating costs, improved occupant health, and reduced environmental degradation. Transitioning to green building practices can help address sustainability issues while providing economic opportunities.

2. WHY WE NEED GREEN BUILDING
• According to the United Nations, cities consume
two thirds of global energy use. 76% of the world’s
energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) are also
emitted by cities through transport, industry, and
building and construction related activities.
• Studies have shown that buildings and
construction activities use 40% energy,
• 30% mineral resources and 20% water of the
world’s resources. It also accounts
• for 40% CO2 emissions, 30% solid wastes and 20%
water pollution in the world.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
• Structure design efficiency
• Energy efficiency
• Water efficiency
• Materials efficiency
• Waste and toxic reduction

6. • STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY:
It is the concept of sustainable building and has
largest impact on cost and performance.
It aims to minimize the enviornmment impact
associated with all life-cycles.
• 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.

7. • WATER EFFICIENCY:
To minimize water consumption one should
aim to use the water which has been collected,
used, purified and reused.

8. • 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.
• WASTE AND REDUCTION:
It is probable to reuse resources.
What may be waste to us may have another
benefit to something else.

HYDERABAD:
 India’s first Greenfield
airport is undeniably
among the top 10 green
buildings in India.
 First airport in asia to be
certified with ‘SILVER’
rating.

ensures optimal use of
natural light and minimal
wastage of electricity or
energy consumption.

11. DIFFERENT FROM OTHER
BUILDINGS
• The design,maintaince and construction of
buildings have tremendous effect on our
enviornment and natural resources.
• Green Building is different from the other
buildings because it use a minimum amount of
nonrenewable energy, produce minimal pollution,
increases the comfort, health and safety of the
people who work in them.
• It also minimize the waste in construction by
recovering materials and reusing or recycling
them.

12. BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDING
• Buildings have a large effect on the
enviornment,human health and the economy.
• The successful adoption of GREEN
BUILDING development can maximize both
the economic and enviornmental performance
of the buildings.

13. ENVIORNMENTAL BENEFITS
• Protect biodiversity and ecosystems
• Improve air and water quality
• Reduce waste streams
• Conserve natural resources

14. ECONOMIC BENEFITS
• Reduce operating costs
• Create, expand, and shape markets for green
product and services
• Improve occupant productivity

15. SOCIAL BENEFITS
• Enhance occupant comfort and health.
• Heighten aesthetic qualities.
• Minimize strain on local infrastructure.
• Improve overall quality of life.

17. 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.
