GREEN BUILDING IN INDIA
A building which can function using an optimum amount of energy,
consume less water, conserve natural resources, generate less waste and
create spaces for healthy and comfortable living, as compared to
conventional buildings, is a green building.
Conventional methods of building use tremendous quantities of
material, many of them non-renewable and toxic, and pay little attention
to the impact the building has on the environment. Green buildings not
only reduce these impacts but are also healthier and consume less energy
saving money in the long run.
Green building design is a practical and climate conscious approach
to building design. Various factors, like geographical location,
prevailing climatic conditions, use of locally available and low
embodied energy materials and design parameters relevant to the type of
usage of the building are normally taken into consideration. Such an
approach ensures minimum harm to the environment, while constructing and
using the building.
A green building uses minimum amount of energy, consumes less water,
conserves natural resources, generates less waste and creates space for
healthy and comfortable living.
When a number of green buildings are located in proximity, they
would create a green zone, providing much healthier environment and
minimise heat-island effect. The ultimate aim will then be to create
many such areas, which would help the towns and cities and therefore the
nation in reducing total energy requirement and also the overall global
carbon footprint.
