Green Building Design

Green Building is a building which utilizes very less external energy and is capable of producing ample amount of energy without causing any harm to the environment .

 Increased

property value. Increased return on investment. Enhanced occupant health and wellbeing.. Boost occupant productivity. Increased sales and leasing potential

Green Building Material Solid Waste Management Non conventional energy resources

Indoor Air Quality

Site Selection Water Use Efficiency Waste Water Recycling

Materials and Resources

Design

an adequate method and area for separation,collection, and storage of recycled materials including: Paper Cardboard Glass Plastics Metals

Solar panels 100 to 200 watts of energy per panel

The non conventional energy resources can be utilized with the aid of Various equipment such as: 1. Solar heater. 2. Solar geyser. 3. Solar batteries.

 TO

OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM WE ARE USING ONE MORE PRINCIPLE IN GREEN BUILDING THAT IS

 To

increase the groundwater table level. To maintain the water level as constant in the subsurface sources. To improve the quality of water in the subsurface sources. The boundary of rainwater can meet all the reasonable need of mankind if the rainwater is harvested, stored and utilized effectively.

Avoid building on (5 criteria): Prime agricultural land Land less than 5 feet above The 100-year flood plain Within 100 feet of wetlands Threatened species habitat Prior public parkland

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Mechanical Rooms Insulated Range Hood Vented to Outside Fireplace Combustion Gases Prohibited CO Detector per 1,000 S.F. Ducts must be Sealed with Mastic Requirements for Total Duct Leakage Exterior Ventilation Requirement Electronic/Electrostatic Air Cleaner Option(s) Central Vacuum (if installed) Vents to Outside Sheet Metal Plenums (on supply side)

Water Efficient Landscaping: Use micro Irrigation or capture Water to reduce Irrigation by 50% Use only Captured water or Install no permanent Irrigation system

Solid waste can be defined as material that no longer has any value to the person who is responsible for it, and is not intended to be discharged through a pipe. It does not normally include human excreta. It is generated by domestic, commercial, industrial, healthcare, agricultural and mineral extraction activities and accumulates in streets and public places. The words garbage, trash, refuse and rubbish is used to refer to some forms of solid waste. Compost is created by the decomposition of organic matter such as yard waste. Compost systems confine compost so that it can receive air and create suitable temperatures for proper decomposition into fertilizer.

Grey water is defined as the wastewater produced from baths and showers, clothes washers, and lavatories. The wastewater generated by toilets, kitchen sinks, and dishwashers are called black water

The use of grey water for irrigation requires separate black water and grey water waste lines in the house. This is not a difficult task in new construction but can be problematic in existing buildings.

 The

recycled waste water and quantity of water obtained by recycling will cause great saving in treated water. The percolation of waste water in ground will increase the level of ground water recharge.

In todays age where Energy crisis is major problem. Green building gives brilliant solution for this. These are designed to use minimum energy. All the systems for cooling and heating are designed such that they require very less energy. Green buildings are also capable of producing electricity on domestic level with non-conventional energy sources. In todays era green buildings are essential as environmental balance is very important for survival and further development of human beings. Green buildings are only way to a sustainable future!!!!

 The

Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)

TERI was formally established in 1974 with the purpose of tackling and dealing with the immense and acute problems that mankind is likely to be faced with in the years ahead 1)on account of the gradual depletion of the earths finite energy resources which are largely non-renewable and 2)on account of the existing methods of their use which are polluting
