GREEN BUILDING

PRESENT AND FUTURE OF GREEN BUILDING IN INDIA AND WORLD.....

*************************
A green building is a building normal as our building  but it focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource usage like energy, water, and materials.

Rating System

 Indian Green Building Council (IGBC ) is a committee of India who give the rate of building according to the performance of green building.

By taken following key:-

1) Sustainable site development

2) Water savings
3) Energy efficiency
4) Materials selection and
5) Indoor environmental quality

LEED rating :-
Platinum Rating

Gold  Rating

Silver Rating

{The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED® India)}
************************************************************************

Green Building vs. Conventional Building:-

•Externally : both look alike

•Building Use: both are same

•Differences :-

1) Concern for human comfort  &indoor environment

2) Operational savings

************************************************************************

Tangible Benefits of green building 

vReduce operating costs

vOptimize life cycle economic performance 

• Sustained savings 

•Energy savings: 40 –50 %

•Water savings: 20 –30 %

•Reduction in initial investment 
************************************************************************
The Materials can use:-
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks (AAC Block)

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a certified green building material, which can be used for commercial, industrial and residential construction. It is porous, non-toxic, reusable, renewable and recyclable.  

 

Benefits of AAC block against Clay Brick :

Eco-friendly
         Makes productive use of recycled industrial waste (fly ash).

•Non-polluting manufacturing process – the only by-product is steam.

•Made of non-toxic ingredients.

Lightweight

•3-4 times lighter than traditional bricks, therefore, easier and cheaper to transport.

•it reduces overall dead load of a building, thereby allowing construction of taller buildings.

Thermally Insulated & Energy Efficient

Tiny air pores and thermal mass of blocks provide excellent thermal insulation, thus reducing heating and air conditioning costs of a building.

Fire Resistant

•Non-combustible and fire resistant up to 1600° C.

•Can withstand up to 6 hours of direct exposure.

Acoustic Performance

Superior sound absorption qualities due to porous structure of blocks.

Easy Workability and Design Flexibility

Blocks can be easily cut, drilled, nailed, milled and grooved to fit individual requirements.

Sustainable

•Retains properties over time.

•Made of non-allergenic material.

•Use of AAC improves indoor air quality.

Earthquake Resistant

Lightweight blocks reduce mass of a structure, thus decreasing the impact of an earthquake on a building.

Precision

•Results in smooth walls with perfect contact between different elements.

•Reduces cement and steel usage.

Cost Effective

•Reduces operating cost by 30% to 40%.

•High-insulation blocks save up to 30% in energy costs.

•Variety in sizes of blocks helps increase carpet area.

•Wall painting and plastering last longer as almost nil.

Faster Construction

•Reduces construction time by 20%.

•Different sizes of blocks help reduce the number of joints in wall masonry.

•Lighter blocks make construction easier and faster.

•Easy to install. Sets and hardens quickly.

************************************************************************
Equipments can use:-

Solar Panels

Sun portal Sunlight

Solar Panels :-

One 100watt solar panel produce 500 watt/day electricity if take an solar rays about 5 hours.

But if we attach 20-25 soar panel at our roof the it generate 12500 watt /day.

Sunportal Pipes Sunlight :-

Sunportal is a system in which natural light can  be use and reflect in dark area by sunrays or every cloud days.

We can use sun portal by using this mechanism :-

************************************************************************

Water Management :-

Water is very important in our life ,it play a great roll.

Day by day the problem of water is increase.

But it can easy handle by water conservation .

Some points to consume less water in our building :-

Water Collection and Reuse:

The first step for increasing water efficiency at college is to reduce the use of drinkable water for non-consumption purposes.

There are two ways to do this: 

•collect rainwater

• reuse indoor wash water.

Water Use: 

•Use auto-cut taps.

•Install low-volume toilets.

•When you are washing your hands, don't let the water run while you lather.

•These collection tanks can then serve as an on-site supply for watering your lawn and garden.

•Water Treatment Using Nature’s Tools Because water is so vital, and because the ability to clean and reuse it becomes increasingly important.

Increase plant and tree for healthy Environment :  

Grow more plant and tree for healthy environment. It give the freshness and cool mood to work as a great .And maintain the O2 , Co2 level .

Envelope measures: 

Typical saving potential :

• Orientation:   0.5-1 %
• AAC wall:   3-8 %
• Brick wall with 75mm:   3-8 %
• extruded polysterene insulation
• High Albedo roofing material:   2-3 %
• Roof garden:   1-2 %
• Low-U glass & glazing:  6-8 %
• Roof insulation (extr.polyst):   5-6 %
