Green Building
What is Green Building?
“A green building is one which uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building.”
Today all types of buildings are going the Green way- Government, IT Parks, Offices, Residential, Banks, Airports,Convention Centers, Institutions, Hospitals, Hotels, Factories, SEZs, Townships, Schools, Metros etc.
What is Green Engineering and design?
Green engineering and design is all about the commercialization, and use of products and processes that are environmentally friendly. These products and processes cut down on pollution, minimize risks to human health, and create sustainability through eco-friendly design. Green building aims to protect the world we live in, and reflect the desired working environment for many people. When done properly, it can be extremely cost-effective.
Sustainable building design can be as simple as using specific products and appliances or as complex as constructing zero energy buildings. It can be scaled to meet specific goals and environmental needs. During the design process, the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of these buildings is also taken into account.
