impact on the human health and the environment. This also involves finding the balance
between homebuilding and sustainable environment. This requires close cooperation with
the design team, the architects, engineers, and the client at all project stages. The green
building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of
economy, utility, durability, and comfort. This minimizes the negative human impacts on
the natural surroundings, materials, resources and processes that prevail in nature.
utilizing sustainable resources becomes an obvious choice. Not only it is the green way of
doing things, but more importantly it is an economically viable solution many of which
are endless and free. Moving air for ventilations and sunlight for lighting and energy
supply are just two of the many examples waiting for us to capture and incorporate into
our buildings. Our journey to stop to what was once a seemingly perpetual demand on
our deteriorating environment starts here as we take a step to enlighten ourselves through
constant enrichment and practice. Green building is not a simple development trend, it is
an approach to building suited to the demands of its time, whose relevance and

CHAPTER II
The beginning of the twenty-first century has ushered in the era of green

amounts of waste in their construction and operation, and emit large quantities of
seek to use land and energy efficiently, conserve water and other resources, improve
indoor and outdoor air quality, and increase the use of recycled and renewable materials.
While green buildings still constitute a tiny subset of existing buildings, their numbers are
increasing rapidly. In November 2006, the U.S. Green Building Council, the nonprofit
group responsible for the creation of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) green building rating system, announced that 623 buildings had achieved some
level of LEED certification. As of December 2009 this number had grown to more than
2,400, and over 35,000 buildings were in the process of achieving some level of LEED
certification. (J. Cullen Howe, The Reality of the Built Environment: The Problem of Existing Buildings,
Overview of Green Building)
on college campuses that decreases resource usage in both the building process and also
the future use of the building. The goal is to reduce CO 2 emissions, and energy use, while
creating an atmosphere where students can be healthy and learn. Since college campuses
5
are where the worlds future leaders are being taught, colleges are choosing to construct
students. Colleges across the United States have taken leading roles in the construction of
green building in order to reduce resource consumption, save money in the long run, and
instill the importance on environmental sustainability on their students. (J. Cullen Howe, The
Reality of the Built Environment: The Problem of Existing Buildings, Overview of Green Building)
college campuses provide benefits to the campus in several different ways. Campuses can
benefit from the short and long term economic benefits. Initially, federal and state
governments will sometimes provide tax incentives for buildings constructed that surpass
the standards set by the government. There are also long term savings. According to the
USGBC (United States Green Building Council), with an upfront investment of 2 percent
in green building design, the resulting life savings is 20 percent of the total construction
costs. With many universities lacking funding, this kind of savings could dramatically
help the yearly budget. Along with this increase in monetary savings, green
building and architecture has been proven to make the occupants more productive.
Studies have shown a link between improved lighting design and a 27 percent reduction
in the incidence of headaches. Also, students with the most day lighting in their
classrooms progressed 20 percent faster on math tests and 26 percent faster on reading
tests in one year than those with less day lighting. Both of these studies show that better
lighting conditions, which are one of the main features of green buildings, can increase
the productivity of its occupants. Students at colleges where green buildings are being
used will benefit by increasing their potential to gain knowledge. The last important

environmentally sustainable. Students are becoming increasingly aware of the issues the
Earth faces with carbon emissions and increased consumption. These students want to
attend universities that are striving to reduce their environmental impact. Universities
participating in sustainable initiatives, like constructing green buildings, will attract more
highly qualified students. Green buildings on campuses benefit both the school as well as
the students. (J. Cullen Howe, The Reality of the Built Environment: The Problem of Existing Buildings,
Overview of Green Building)
Although green buildings represent the next phase of buildings, the reality is that
the vast majority of buildings are not green, and these buildings will continue to be used
for many years to come. Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings typically
involves a process called retrofitting, which can mean anything from installing more
Green Building Council has a rating standard specifically focused on existing buildings,
maintenance). While greening existing buildings does not receive the attention that new
green buildings do, it is certainly more important when looking at reducing the
environmental impacts of buildings nationwide. (J. Cullen Howe, The Reality of the Built
Environment: The Problem of Existing Buildings, Overview of Green Building)
Environment Program has reported that 3040 percent of all primary energy produced
publication that estimated that existing buildings are responsible for more than 40 percent
of the worlds total primary energy consumption and for 24 percent of global CO2
emissions.
7
The picture in the United States is strikingly similar. In 2004, EPA found that
buildings account for 39 percent of total energy use and 68 percent of total electrical
the United States used 74.2 percent of all electricity generated. A report by the U.S.
Energy Information Agency (EIA) estimated that 60 percent of the nations electrical.
Fortunately, there are many ways to improve a buildings energy efficiency. Simple
measures such as weather-stripping, maintaining entry door closers and installing storm
energy efficiency with respect to heating and cooling. New innovations in insulation can
reduce the energy used in manufacturing insulation and allow insulation to be recycled or
biodegradable. Mineral, fibrous, and cellulose-derived materials are now available for
insulation purposes. Another large user of energy is a buildings heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) system. Properly designed and installed HVAC systems can
reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling a building. An HVAC system
includes a heater, air conditioner, and fan in one system and operates at a partial load
nearly all the time. The design of the HVAC system as a whole-system mechanism saves
energy by monitoring airflow and keeping the indoor temperature fairly constant. An
HVAC system must have a correctly designed distribution system to minimize the
amount of airflow (and thus energy) necessary to heat and cool the building. In addition,
allowing building occupants to individually control heating and cooling in their living or
8
working spaces is an effective way to reduce energy use. Electric lighting consumes
also generates heat, so reducing the amount of energy consumed for lighting through
effective and efficient lighting also reduces the size of a buildings air-conditioning plant.
Building information modeling (BIM) enables building design and construction teams to
draw and test the buildings operating systems, such as electricity or hot water, in one
computer model. Modeling buildings with BIM can aid in quantitative energy analysis,
connecting complex systems and allowing more precise analysis for better energy used.
Given that buildings use large amounts of energy, and given that most of this
energy comes from the burning of fossil fuels, it is not surprising that buildings in the
United States are responsible for many millions of tons of GHG emissions annually. DOE
has estimated that in 2006, buildings in the United States emitted 630 million metric tons
Kingdom, France, and Japan. U.S. buildings by themselves emit more GHGs than any
other country in the world except China. On a percentage basis, buildings in the United
States are responsible for approximately 40 percent of the countrys total GHG emissions.
Unfortunately, greenhouse gases are not the only harmful pollutants that buildings emit.
Indoor levels of air pollution may greatly exceed outdoor levels. Indoor air pollution is
particularly important given that we spend most of our time indoors. The EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) has estimated that indoor levels of pollution may be
two to five times higher, and occasionally more than 100 times higher, than outdoor air
pollution levels. This pollution can come from a wide variety of sources. (J. Cullen Howe,

buildings are found to be both, one of the biggest consumer of energy and producer of
greenhouse gasses. It has become a global issue according to national institute of building
sciences (USA), buildings generate thirty five percent of the carbon dioxide (the primary
greenhouse gas associated with climate change), forty nine percent of sulfur dioxide and

A common impression about green building is that the green premium is too
expensive to be considered economically feasible. However, studies have shown that the
costs of green buildings are not substantially higher than regular development
projects. Higher construction costs can generally be avoided by the inclusion of green
design from the outset of the project. Additionally, green buildings provide an assortment

Green Buildings vs. Non-Green Buildings
Going green has become mandatory for anyone involved in building construction
and/or maintenance. The growth in the certified green building market has been
making headlines for over a decade with no end in sight. Plus, studies consistently show
that building green pays off. On average, green buildings simply have the competitive
Despite the buzz, many facilities managers are still confused as to what exactly it means
to be green. Does certification matter? Is renewable energy required? What exactly makes
a building green?
Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast answers. Ask a dozen green building
experts and youll get a dozen replies, each sensible but none identical. The fact is,
However, one has to start somewhere. Perhaps one of the clearest definitions of what
green construction really means is offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
in its report What Is a Green Building? The EPA breaks green construction down into
four readily identifiable elements. Lets take a look at each, and what they entail:
Green construction considers not just the building but its environment. Before
construction even begins, care is taken to choose a site that will contribute to wise use of
Key strategies include using space efficiently; preserving wetlands and other valuable
natural features; orienting and designing the building to take advantage of natural
14
dynamics such as insulation, air flow and microclimate variables; reducing the urban heat
island effect; light pollution reduction; and aesthetic appeal. Technologies in this category
include such things as day lighting, passive ventilation, and green walls and roofs. If you
are dealing with an existing building, your options for improvement may be limited.
However, there are some things you can do to get your building in sync with its
environment. Landscaping is one good option. Strategically planting trees and other
plants where they will provide shade, windbreaks or other benefits can significantly
impact a buildings energy footprint. It can lead to other surprising benefits, too.

This is the category that most people think of first when they think green. It also
includes many of the most dramatic cost-saving opportunities. Energy measures include
technologies and design that improve building performance to achieve more with less
input. Strategies include incorporating shell measures such as insulation and high-
efficiency glazing; passive heating and cooling; high-efficiency lighting; solar and other

3. Indoor Environmental Quality
Integral to the green building concept is ensuring that the building supports
human health and wellbeing. Issues in this category include reducing exposure to indoor
environmental toxins like VOCs, heavy metals, and biological hazards such as mold;
ensuring adequate air flow and quality; providing optimal levels and quality of light
(especially day lighting); and maintaining an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for stress

disinfecting products. Yet its not just conventional cleaning supplies. Some so-called
green cleaners, while they not a source for concern, can react with other chemicals
present in your building to create toxic compounds. For example, pine and citrus oils
contain compounds called terpenes that can combine with ozone to form the carcinogen
formaldehyde, as well as fine particulates that can adversely affect human health. The
California EPA recommends limiting the use of these products, especially during periods
buzz/entryid/442/green-buildings-vs-non-green-buildings
durability, longevity and efficiency are preferred, as are bio-based materials that break
down safely in the environment once they are no longer in use. Materials and systems are
evaluated using a cradle-to-cradle approach that takes into account the entire life cycle
16
of the structure, from sourcing to disposal. Also included in this category are maintenance
and use issues such as recycling, waste disposal and transportation to and from the
building. (http://www.buildings.com/buzz/buildings-buzz/entryid/442/green-buildings-vs-non-
green-buildings
Keep in mind that one of the most significant resources for a green building is its
occupants. Every green building should include a plan for educating, training and
encouraging its occupants to use best management practices for optimal sustainability.
The best plans instill a sense of pride, fun, teamwork and/or ownership. Payback
incentives are usually very effective, as are contests between occupants of different areas
of the building.

built out of carbon. Carbon is also stored in great quantities in all fossil fuels. When
carbon is in its solid form, as in a tree trunk or a vein of coal in the ground, it is harmless,

of carbon are burned, carbon is transformed into a gas known as Carbon Dioxide or C02.

Ferro cement is a construction material consisting of wire meshes and cement mortar.
Applications of Ferro cement in construction are vast due to the low self-weight, lack of skilled
workers, no need of framework etc. It was developed by P.L.Nervi, an Italian architect in 1940.
Quality of Ferro cement works are assured because the components are manufactured on
machinery set up and execution time at work site is less. Cost of maintenance is low. This

There are nine mandatory green roof layers, the vegetation or the plant layer,
growing medium or media, filter layer or filter cloth, drainage layer, protection fabric,
root barrier, insulation, and the water proofing membrane. All of this work in tandem to
provide an effective level of protection for both the property below and the actual plants
themselves. The benefits of having the various green roof layers installed properly will be
obvious once you see it working as it makes an incredible difference to the insulation and
quality of the building. All of this help to retain the quality and performance of the
system without ever really putting it under any excess stress and strain along the way.
This may cost a bit more, but it will be a whole lot cheaper than dealing with problems

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION
41
For the data that has been gathered and presented, it is safe to conclude that
buildings that uses Green Technology are much better and efficient than the usual type of
building people normally know. Green Technology helps reduce emissions, conserves
water, reduces waste and consumes less energy than conventional technology. Green
buildings also use materials more effectively. With proper maintenance, green
technologies can have long lifetimes. Green technologies can increase property value
because they require little maintenance and save money. More extensive use of
renewable sources, including solar, wind and biogas possibly in conjunction with each
other would further enhance the countrys energy supply. Green technology will
definitely be the solution that gets the potential in helping us to solve these problems and
