Green design concept is to enable sustainable use of the resources – energy, water and other materials – during the entire life cycle of the building including its construction.

Glass is a wonder material that combines several benefits such as Transparency, Natural Day-lighting, Blending of Exteriors with Interiors and Acoustic control. Glass, a fully recyclable material, provides unlimited opportunity for architects and designers for the innovative applications in buildings. Glass plays a significant role in achieving superior indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency, thereby satisfying several criteria for green buildings.

This course will help you learn from green building perspective. It should also help you to define appropriate strategies for glazing, doors and windows for energy-efficient buildings.
