Green House Buildings

Green building is the

practice of creating structures

which are environmentally

responsible and

resource-efficient  throughout

a building's life.

Green building can also be termed as

Sustainable building or Green architecture.

 Today even the most advanced building

or factory in the world is still a kind of

steamship, polluting, contaminating, and

depleting the surrounding environment,

and relying on scarce amounts of natural

light and fresh air. People are essentially

working in the dark, and they are often

breathing unhealthful air.

Instead of using these congested & polluted

buildings, we can use Green buildings.

 

Imagine, a building as a kind of tree. It would

purify air, accrue solar income, produce more

energy than it consumes, create shade and

habitat, enrich soil, and change with the seasons.

 

A building consumes:

 

Ø	2/5 of world energy
Ø	production. 1/6 of all water pumped	out

natural resources.

Ø  1/4 of all virgin wood

harvested (not including

furniture).

 

 Green buildings  are

designed to reduce the

overall impact of  the built

environment on human

health and the natural

environment.

Common Objectives

Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity.

Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources.

Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation.

 

 Green buildings with LEED Certification

meet high environmental standards.

Although a building may be designed efficiently, the systems and equipment must be maintained and continually monitored to retain the high level of efficiency.

Reuse and recycling is important to get the most out of our resources and to maintain a sustainable relationship between economics and our environment.
