What is a Green Building?
• A building can be said to be

‘green’ or sustainable when
conscious steps are taken
during its construction and
operation to keep natural
resource depletion minimal.
What is a Green Building?
A Green building is one which incorporates Green features, such as: -
• Effective use of existing landscapes

• Use of energy efficient and Eco-friendly equipment
• Use of recycled and Environmental friendly Building
materials
• Quality indoor air quality for human safety and comfort
• Efficient use of water
• Use of Non-Toxic & recycled materials
• Use of renewable energy
• Effective controls and building management system *
Aim of the Green Building
• The aim of the green building design is to
• minimize demand on non-renewable resources;
• maximize utilization efficiency; and
• maximize reuse, recycling, and use of renewable
resources.
• A green building is evolved through a design process that
requires all the concerned professionals –
• the architect;
• the landscape designer; and
• the air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, and energy
consultants –
Integrated Approach for Green Buildings
• A green building is one, which encompasses the
use of clean energy, renewable energy, efficient
use of water, use of recycled or recyclable
materials and provide healthy indoor air quality.
• It has to be designed, built, renovated, operated,
or reused in an ecological and resource efficient
manner.
• Green buildings are designed to meet certain
objectives such as protecting occupants health;
improving employee productivity; using energy,
water and other resources more efficiently; and
reducing the overall impact to the environment.
Integrated Approach for Green Buildings.
An integrated approach to building design, at initial

stage itself, is followed which involves judicious use of
application of:
• Efficient Green Materials and construction

practices.
• Bio-climatic/ solar passive architectural
principles.
• Efficient systems and equipments
• Renewable sources of energy.
• Efficient waste and water management practices.
THE NEED
• Habitat design, in this situation,

requires establishing energy-
environment favourable approaches
through:
• Pilots and examples
• Education and training of professionals
• Development of resource consumption
norms (benchmarking)
OVERALL GOAL
• Energy efficiency
• Reduced or rationalized cost
• Reduced pollution, hence reduced
environmental impact
• Better indoor environment quality
• Better security of resources
(primarily biomass, minerals, water,
energy)
SCOPE
The scope of these initiatives ranges from
community scale assessments to regional
assessments, sectoral indicator systems or
global reporting programs. The key areas
include:
• Resource Conservation
• Environmental Services and Public Health
• Transportation
• Open Space and Land Use
• Housing
• Community Education and Civic Participation
EXAMPLE INDICATORS
• Toxic air contaminant releases;
• Waste generation;
• Urban Runoff Reduction;
• Water use;
• Organic Produce;
• Energy use; Renewable
Energy use; • Use of sustainable
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions; transportation options;
• Sustainable Procurement; • Economic Diversity;
• Wastewater (sewage); • Land Use and Development;

• Vehicle miles traveled; • Green Housing;
• Air Quality; • Basic community needs.
• Hazardous materials uses;
GREEN BUILDING FEATURES
• The concept of Green Buildings is in

an infant stage. The development of
Green buildings in India will have to
be a combination of locally available
materials and economically viable
technologies.
• Some of the typical ideas applicable
in the Indian context are:
GREEN BUILDING FEATURES.
Building Materials
• Fly ash cement and Fly ash bricks for construction

• Steel salvaged from old buildings
• Recycled glass & ceramics for tiles and sanitary ware ,
• building products from recycled demolition wastes
• Harvested or recycled wood from old buildings
• Recycled glass for windows & doors
• Non-Toxic and Environment friendly Paints
• Emerging Technologies such as GFRP system,Ploysryrene
Core panel system,light gauge cold form system
Electrical equipment
• Energy efficient amorphous core transformer.
Alternatively environmentally friendly Dry type
transformer with On-load Voltage correction facility.
• Oil free environmentally friendly Vacuum circuit breakers /
Air circuit breakers
• As far as possible, copper bus bars with minimum bends
and joints
• Flameproof copper cables for power distribution.
• Automatic power factor correction relay for power factor
correction (APFCR).
Lighting Feeder
• Dedicated lighting feeder/transformer with on-line voltage
correction facility
• Maximum utilisation of natural light during daytime.
• Energy efficient light fittings and accessories.
• Limit switch / key tag system for lighting control, wherever
there is no occupancy

pumps and AHU fans for energy saving.
• Temperature Indicating Controller (TIC)/ VFD for cooling tower fans,
Alternatively, Natural Draft Cooling towers can also be used.
• FRP Blades for cooling tower fans
• Double-glazed glasses in air-conditioning environment to minimize
heat gain.
• Provide for Green wall and green roofing
• Insulation of exposed roofs to minimize heat gain.
• High efficiency pumps and motors
Building Management System (BMS)
• Computerized Building Management System (BMS) to help in monitoring &
controlling electrical energy and water consumption.
• Automatic Temperature sensors & controllers to maintain the required
temperature.
• Movement sensors for rooms to control the lighting and air conditioning
load.
• Automatic controls for water taps.
• Fire fighting & fire alarm systems to avoid fire hazardous.f) Generator set
• Soundproof enclosure for the Generator room to control sound pollution.g)
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
• Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for computers and telephone system,
coupled with battery less
Some Indian initiatives for Green
Building Technologies
• TERI's Green Building Rating System

(TERI-GRIHA)
• CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business
Centre (GBC) in Hyderabad
• Indian Green Building Council
TERI-GRIHA
• TERI-GRIHA (TERI-Green
Rating for Integrated
Habitat Assessment) is a
tool for measuring and
rating a building’s
environmental
performance in the
context of India’s varied
climate and building
practices.
TERI-GRIHA.
• The primary objective of the rating
system is to help design green buildings
and, in turn, help evaluate the
‘greenness’ of buildings.
• The rating system follows best practices
along with national/international codes
that are applicable to achieve the intent
of sustainable architecture and building
design.
TERI-GRIHA.
• Evaluates the environmental performance
of the ‘whole building’ over its life cycle,
thereby providing a definitive standard for
what constitutes a ‘green building’.
• The rating system is based on accepted
energy and environmental principles, and
strikes a balance between established
practices and emerging concepts, both
national and international.
TERI-GRIHA – Benefits of a Green Design
• Reduced energy consumption without sacrificing comfort
levels
• Reduced depletion of natural habitats and biodiversity
• Reduced air and water pollution with direct health benefits
• Reduced water consumption
• Limited waste generation due to recycling and reuse
• Reduced pollution loads
• Increased user productivity
• Enhanced image and marketability
