An overview of the Green Building Concept and how it helps to achieve sustainability
                     An overview of the Green 
Building Concept and How it 
Helps To Achieve 
Sustainability
In recent times countries across the world are shifting towards environment-friendly 
practices. Human activities over the past centuries have taken their toll on the environment.
Benefits Of Green 
Building
Reducing our carbon footprint and managing 
our limited resources while facilitating 
recycling is our best bet to save a planet 
already at its limit.
Here are some benefits of green building.
Improved Quality Of 
Life
The environment we live in has a huge impact on 
our health and standard of living.
The main aim of green architecture is to focus 
on sustainable interior design elements such as 
ergonomic design, improved lighting, optimal 
temperatures, and superior air quality. 
Sharing Of Resources Means Increased 
Efficiency
Big cities are struggling with the problem of 
over-exploitation of resources. 
Over-exploitation causes shortages and crises.
Renewable Energy 
Resources
The building is designed in such a way as to 
optimize the use of energy during construction 
as well as operational lifetime. 
Recent innovations in 
sustainable building services have paved the 
way to better ventilation and light thereby 
reducing the dependency on man-made energy 
sources for what and light.
Minimal Carbon 
Footprint
Carbon footprint is the total amount of 
greenhouse gases generated by our actions. 
Reports from Environment Protection 
Agency(EPA) show buildings are 
responsible for one-third of the greenhouse 
gas emission in the US. 
Design 
Principles
Now let us take a look at some pointers for 
green building design:
➢ Maximize the potential of the site.
➢ Energy usage optimization.
➢ Prioritize the conservation of water.
➢ Optimization of building space and 
materials.
➢ Optimize the operations and maintenance 
practices.
Opting to build cleaner and greener using the latest innovative technologies not only benefits the 
residents and environment but also sustainable building services, due to lower operational and 
material costs and increased asset value. 
We need drastic measures to preserve our environment. One such environment-friendly practice is 
green building consulting and engineering.
