What is GreenBuilding?

 

A building which is constructed in order to promote the well being as well as reduce the negative impact on the environment through emphasis on life-cycle analysis is a Green Building.

 

This new integrated approach in design practices:

 

  • Energy efficiency
  • Pollution prevention
  • Resource-efficient materials
  • Improved indoor air quality
  • Water conservation
  • Waste minimization 

Why Focus on Sustainable Design?

 

The focus on sustainable design of green building would lead to many benefits such as

  • Reduces the operating costs
  • Improves human health
  • Increases productivity
  • Reduces liability
  • Reduces overall impact on environment

By following the sustainable design while constructing the building, we avoid various impacts on the environmental such as depletion of natural resources, air and water pollution, solid and toxic wastes, deforestation global warming and other major negative impacts. Studies say that one-quarter of the entire world’s wood harvested are used for building and architectural purposes. It also proves that two-fifth of all material are used of the building constructions. So people around the world have understood the need of Green Buildings and the architect are coming up with new design of Green Building that helps and reduces the negative impacts on our environment.
