About Green Buildings: 
Overview
As the debate about global warming and climate change continues, we are 
looking for ways to be more sustainable in all our actions. Sustainability can 
be achieved without sacrificing our quality of life by exploring new avenues.
There have been movements since the 
1880s to facilitate the use of renewable 
construction materials. 
They mostly employed methods to 
moderate indoor temperatures, by 
modifying the windows and building sky 
gardens.
People began to understand the apparent 
imbalance between the urban landscape 
and nature, as well as the blatant 
exploitation of natural resources for 
construction.

Green buildings as the name 
suggests are those which are 
constructed with the agenda of 
reducing the harmful effects of urban 
constructions on our environment. 
They simultaneously practice certain 
features that contribute to the well-
being of the ecosystem surrounding 
them.

One such breakthrough is the introduction of 
green building services. 
Green buildings as the name suggests are 
those which are constructed with the agenda 
of reducing the harmful effects of urban 
constructions on our environment.

What are green Buildings?
According to a study by Harvard, Green 
Buildings save $6.7 Billion combined with 
health and climate benefits. Almost 40% of 
the primary energy production in the world 
is consumed by buildings.
Sustainable building services 
significantly reduce this and add to health 
benefits while trying to maintain pollution.
How are they 
made?
Green building consultancy services 
begin with the designs themselves that 
incorporate sustainable materials like 
reused and recyclable materials
➢ It is maintaining the temperature without 
relying much on air-conditioning by 
constructing airtight walls and surfaces 
that reduce humidity keeping the building 
naturally cool. 
➢ Conserving energy by using renewable 
resources and keeping track of its use with 
the help of sensors.
➢ Adding recyclable materials to 
construction like bamboo, timber, etc that 
could be biodegradable.
➢ Reducing the use of water by recycling it 
and tracking its use with smart meters.
➢ Having green spaces with gardens and 
scopes of biodiversity incorporated into 
the design.
➢ Efficient waste management facilities are 
made by using compost, zero waste 
design, etc.
➢ Incorporating various recreational spaces 
into the building like gyms, libraries, 
parks, etc.

In conclusion, green buildings are one of 
the best methods of adopting sustainable 
living. 
As we navigate through our daily life co-
existing with sustainable infrastructure, we 
are ensuring a greener future and a better 
way of living for future generations.
Thank You!
