 ABSTRACT
Green building refers to a structure and using a process that is
environmentally responsible and resource efficient through out a building’s
lifecycle. Since buildings consume nearly 50% of world’s total energy, green
buildings, on the other hand, consume minimum amount of energy with the use of
energy efficient materials. Hence, location of green buildings in the close
proximity would create a green zone and providing much healthier environment
with minimum heat island effect. In India there are two primary rating systems for
green buildings GRIHA (green rating for integrated habitat assessment), LEED
(Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design). The LEED Green Building
rating system developed and managed by the USGBC, is the most widely used
rating system nationally and internationally. Buildings are given ratings of
platinum, gold and silver or “certified”, based on green building attributes. The
Indian green building council IGBC founded by collaboration between the
confederation of Indian industry (CII) and the private manufacture Godrej, has
taken steps to promote the green building concept in India. LEED- India rates on
buildings on environmental performance and energy efficiency during design ,
construction and operation stages . Green Building when compared to a
conventional building seems same extremely and in building use but differs in the
operational savings and concerns for human comfort and indoor and environment.
Green buildings enjoy the benefits of saving 40-50% energy by reducing CO2
emissions into the atmosphere it also saves about 20-30% of water by using rain
harvesting or grey water re-use techniques. It also reduces VMT(Vehicle Miles
Travelled) by choosing the location near by public transport and conveniences
which helps in reduction of gasoline consumption. But on the other hand, green
buildings face many barriers like the high initial investments required for
construction, spilt incentives.

AIM
The aim of project is to “Find out a simple and
economical way of constructing a GREEN HOME Which
a common man from a middle class or an upper middle
class family can easily afford.”

Introduction to Project
 Green building (also known as green 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
building.
 Market estimates suggest that India will be adding 11.5 million homes
every year thus, making it the world’s third largest construction
market by 2020. With rapid urbanization and strong economic growth,
the construction industry is becoming one of the fastest growing
sectors in India providing employment to nearly 18 million people.

 This will be beneficial for the people who are really conscious about
the environmental impact of the buildings and believe in energy
conservation.
 Economy is the major factor in any type of construction work,
especially for residential houses and more specifically when they are
situated in the megacity in a developing country like India.

 There is a need of concentrating on a Green Home, which is one of

the most important and one of the discussed topics throughout the
globe, in the age of global warming and climate change worldwide.

 In this situation, some middle way is necessary to be found out, to

encourage the green construction.
 CHAPTER – 3
OBJECTIVE
 Green building are designed to reduce the overall impact of the
built environment on human health and the natural
environmental by

By reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation.

 Using energy, water and other resources efficiently.

 Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation.

 Protecting occupant health and improving employee

productivity.
 Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.

 Using eco-friendly and regionally available construction

materials.
 Implementing Rain Water Harvesting system with Ground
Water Recharge as an attempt to improve regional Ground
water table.
 Improve indoor air quality by orientation natural ventilation
design.
 To design a residentially viable Green Building including
maximum open space with cost effective design and materials.

Need of the Project –

The reasons why this project is important are listed below:-
 It is general belief that a Green Home will cost much
more Than a Conventional Home, but some middle way
is required to be found out by analyzing the real
situations & conditions in the market.
 In these days, when everyone is talking about the Green
construction, there is need of a way by which a common
can afford a Green Home.

FUTUTE SCOPE
 During the next few years green buildings are well poised to grow at 50-60%
annually.

The green building concept is catching up fast globally, and in India too. A
green building is one, which in the process of constructing a building, uses
renewable materials, saves money on light bills, gas bills, and water bills.
This method can include using all natural materials but for the most part, it
pertains to saving environment and cost is.it is a reflection of the growing
concern for environment and energy, and the awareness that to huge
consumption also leads to huge depletion of resources. More and more
people are becoming aware of this fact and the concept of green building is
here to stay and it should be encouraged and promoted for the betterment of
society. Our experience of the recently constructed green building have been
very encouraging.

Five scenarios for the future:

1. Business As Usual
2. An Internal Revolution At USGBC To Adopt The BREEAM Model.
3. An Entirely new approach that focuses on Great User Experience.
4. Save The Earth-Net Zero Carbon.
5. Reward Continuous Improvement.

MERITS & DEMERITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS

MERITS –

 Efficient Technologies
 Easier Maintainance
 Return on Investment
 Improved Indoor Air Quality
 Energy Efficiency
 Water Efficiency
 Waste Reduction
 Temperature Moderation
 Water Conservation
 Improved Health Condition

DEMERITS –

 Initial Cost is High

 Availability of Materials
 Need more Construction Time
 Need Skilled Worker
 CHAPTER – 13
CONCLUSION
The aim of the project was to understand, plan and design Green Building that has
been achieved by studying different green technologies for buildings, by planning
and designing building layout, development of plan, elevation, sections etc.
Various Green technologies and materials proposed with their feasibility study and
cost comparison.

So, on the bases of the above figures, it can be concluded that: –

 “If the intention is to construct a new Home to live in, it is advisable to go

for a GREEN HOME rather than the ordinary conventional home. Because,
the percentage increase of 12.94% in the total cost is not a negligible
amount when the intention is just to renovate or retrofit an Old Home” .

 Green building is a financially, health, and most importantly

environmentally responsible idea that more people need to adopt.

 The India green building council developed LEED in order to help

Customers, designers, and builders to work together to create buildings with
minimal impact on the environment possible.

 Build the green building to undertaken think for

“HUMAN COMFORTABLE WITH ECO-FRIENDLY”
