The document discusses green buildings and energy efficiency. It defines green buildings as those that use resources efficiently and reduce environmental impacts over the building's lifecycle. Green buildings use less water and energy, conserve natural resources, generate less waste, and provide healthier spaces. Net zero and positive energy buildings generate as much or more energy from renewable sources as they consume. The document outlines various strategies to make buildings more sustainable, such as optimizing site design, water and energy use, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.

Green Buildings What is Green Building?
Green Building, or sustainable design, is the
practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and materials, and of reducing impacts on human health and the environment for the entire lifecycle of a building.
Efficient and Economic Use of Resources
Green Building A Green Building is one which uses ▪ Less water ▪ Optimizes energy efficiency ▪ Conserves natural resources ▪ Generates less waste ▪ Provides healthier spaces for occupants
• How do we effectively use earth’s infinite natural resources
• Sun light, Wind, organic waste • How do we conserve earth’s finite natural resources • Coal, Water, Virgin wood Benefits of Green Buildings Buildings have a large effect on the environment, human health and the economy. The successful adoption of Green Building development can maximize both the economic and environmental performance of the buildings. ▪ Social Benefits: ▪Environmental Benefits: ▪Protect Biodiversity & ecosystems ▪ Enhance occupant comfort & health ▪Improve air and water quality ▪ Heighten aesthetic qualities ▪Reduce Water streams ▪ Minimize strain on local infrastructure ▪Conserve natural resources ▪ Improve overall quality of life
▪Economic Benefits: ▪Reduce operating cost ▪Tax incentives and subsidies for green buildings and renewable energy concepts ▪Create, expand and shape markets for green product and services ▪Improve Occupant Productivity Impact of Green Buildings Some Facts – Are you Aware? Impacts of Global Warming are already here…. Intense heat waves Acute Water Shortage Pollution from Thermal Power Plants!! Burning of Crops!! Burning of Waste / Crackers!! India tops world in Air pollution : Kanpur, Delhi among 15 worst cities, Mumbai 4th most polluted megacity. The study considered PM2.5 and PM10.

Efficient Artificial lighting Design Materials Efficiency ❖ Proper waste management within buildings ❖ Proper construction waste management ❖ Reuse old materials ❖ Use materials with recycled content ❖ Use locally available materials ❖ Use Rapidly renewable materials Waste Management Waste management during construction • Waste on site to be segregated into inert, chemical & hazardous wastes • Chemical & hazardous wastes to be recycled coir rope over ducts is used • Inert waste to be disposed off to as an insulating material landfills and also adds a natural look
Waste segregation • Different coloured bins for different type of wastes • Biodegradable • Non degradable • Recyclable • Allocate separate space for waste Old wood from demolition of a collection and transfer building has been used in the new building Health, Well-Being & Environmental Quality
Provisions for health and well being of
construction workers: • Safety helmets, boots, masks • Use of safety nets appropriately • Clean drinking water • Medical facility • Pucca houses for workers with basic amenities and hygienic conditions • Provision of toilets on construction site Achieving Zero to Positive Energy Net Positive Energy Buildings
Net- positive Energy Building is one that
“on average over the year produces more energy from renewable energy sources than it imports from external sources”. Power of Net Zero to Positive “This is an enormous opportunity to address some of the huge social and environmental challenges we face,” Filkin says. “Landlords, developers, tenants, suppliers and advisers all have a role to play in supporting those that take on this significant challenge.”
For developers, the foundations of a successful, net-
positive sustainability strategy lie in accurately defining each property’s electricity use, carbon use or water use; then setting short- and long-term goals for reducing negative impact and promoting positive impact – and as crucially, a robust system for tracking results. Recommended Building Materials for ECBC/Energy Efficient/Green Buildings Opaque Construction (Wall)
OPAQUE WALL • The wall thickness, materials and finishes can be chosen based on the heating and cooling needs of the building. Shading wall Double Brick Wall Cavity Wall Insulated Wall Curtain Wall
ECBC Requirements for Opaque Walls
Opaque walls shall comply with either the maximum assembly U-factor or the minimum insulation R-value . Building insulation Various Insulation Scenarios Opaque Construction (Roof)
Roof • It also denotes the framing or structure which supports that covering. ECBC Requirements for Opaque Roof Roofs shall comply with either the maximum assembly U-factor or the minimum insulation R-value. Opaque Construction (Roof)
Roof under deck insulation
Expanded Polyurethane/ Brick Bat Coba Polystyrene Roof over deck Polyisocyanurate Slabs insulation Slabs
