Green Buildings

The concept of a Green Building brings about a picture of a structure that co-exists with its surrounding habitat such that it becomes a part of that habitat contributing to its growth.

The question arises..........

W H Y  A T A L L  A  G R E E N B U I L D I N G ? ?

There is a simple answer.... It cannot always be about us... We have to take responsibility of our surroundings, our habitat and our world....because we only have one home...

We are now sitting on a time bomb...where the so called growth of the human being has resulted in large scale depletion of fossil fuels, extinction of species, water scarcity, atmospheric imbalances , global warming and so on and so forth...... 
S U S T A I N A N C E  can only occur when in an organisation or an enterprise each and every organisation has a symbiotic relationship with one another. We had to be thoughtful 

What is a green building in true sense.....

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. 

This requires 

• close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the 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.
• Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings 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 environmental degradation
