Abstract - Green building (also known as green
Key Words: Sustainable Building, Sustainable Materials, Green Building, Solid waste management
Buildings account for more than 40% of all global carbon dioxide emission, one of the main culprits implicated in the phenomenon of global warming in which India comes on 144th position (1.4 metric ton) in carbon emission rating in the world. Green building is the practice of constructing or modifying structures to be environmentally responsible, sustainable and resource-efficient throughout their life cycle. This includes efficiently using energy, water and other natural resources, protecting occupant health, improving employee productivity and reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation [1]. Green buildings accounts for improving environmental footprint by reducing energy use by 30-5-%, CO2 emissions by35%, waste output by 70% and water usage by 40%.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 OBJECTIVES
Sustainability lies at the heart of construction and design. A sustainable approach of construction brings lasting environmental, social and economic benefits to a construction project. From that perspective, concrete achieves high valuable properties as a construction material limiting the impacts of a building or infrastructure on its surroundings.
Green building are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by : Efficiently using energy, water and other resources. Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity. Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation
construction or sustainable building) expands and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier space for occupants as compared to conventional buildings. Green Buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact on human health and the natural environment by the following ways Using energy, water and other resources efficiently. By reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation
1.2 CONCEPT OF SUSTAINBILITY
“Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
Sustainability is based on a simple principle: everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.
It contains within it two key concepts: 1. The concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the words poor, to which prevailing priority should be given. 2. The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organisations on environments ability to meet present and future needs.
While India is preparing to achieve these growth plans with enthusiasm, it is essential that the country should analyse and take into account the price that the future populations of the world and India will have to pay in return if this growth takes place without adequate thought to sustainability.
To ensure sustainable development of any activity that is expected to bring about economic growth, it is must to consider its environmental impacts so that it is more consistent with long term growth and development.
Some of us may question why India must slow down its pace of development and pay for the sins of already developed and industrialized Western nations. Clearly, the OECD or the industrialized countries must take the lead in mitigating climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also large developing countries such as India and China will also have to start to reduce their emissions over the next 20 to 30 years if we truly want to give our children a chance at a future. Developing countries with large emissions should
Many ‘development projects’, such as dam’s mines, roads, industries and tourism development, have severe environmental consequences that must be studied before they are even begin. The pressure that man exerts upon nature for fulfilment of his needs is greater than ever and is escalating at an alarming rate.
