Promotion Of Green Building Construction Technique
Construction of Green Building is a technology to use all resources efficiently for the creation of human habitats which improve human health build a better environment increase working efficiency of human beings and minimize the cost of buildings. Green buildings are also known as sustainable buildings which are designed built renovated operated and used in an ecological and resourceefficient manner.
In fact Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee productivity; using energy water and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact to the environment. These buildings with good overall environmental quality can reduce the rate of respiratory diseases allergy asthma sick building symptoms and enhance worker performance. The green building construction technique include following elements:
Elements of Green Building Construction Technique
1.Proper Ventilation
Green Buildings provide adequate ventilation to all habitable rooms including bath rooms kitchens with highefficiency induct filtration system to allow proper drainage of airconditioning coils to control humidity including heating and cooling systems which ensure indoor air quality.
2.Prevention of indoor microbial contamination
Under this technology construction and finishing materials are selected with zero or low emissions to improve indoor air quality. Many building materials and cleaning / maintenance products emit toxic gases such as volatile organic compounds VOC and formaldehyde gases which result in a detrimental impact on occupants’ health and productivity. Such products are not to be used in building construction and their finishing.
3.Utilization of recycled material for minimizing the cost of building
Demolition and reconstruction of old buildings is a continuous phenomenon. Population and demand for buildings are increasing day by day whereas our resources are depleting in the same proportion. Building construction activities consume onesixth of the world’s fresh water withdrawals onefourth of its wood harvest and twofifths of its material and energy flow. About 22 percent waste material bricks concrete wood steel metals steel pipes plastic pipes electric wires sanitary material etc. of demolished buildings can be reused or recycled thus prolonging our supply of natural resources and minimizing construction cost. In green buildings about 25 recycled material is used.
4.Installation of glass panels
Instead of wood window glass panels are installed in green buildings to allow flow of natural light inside the building during day time.
5.Installation of Rainwater Harvesting System
The green buildings are well equipped with rainwater harvesting system to preserve depleting water resource.
6.Maximizing the use of renewable natural resources
In order to maximize the use of renewable natural resources in green buildings the energy efficient equipments such as Compact Fluorescent Lights CFL and Solar Water Heating Systems etc. based on non conventional energy resources are installed.
7.Minimizing The Use of depleting resources
Since forest cover is depleting day by day in the world therefore use of fresh wood is minimized in green buildings. Wherever use of wood is considered necessary in such buildings the wood of fast growing trees is only used so that utilization of such material may not effect the ecological balance of the earth.
8.Minimizing energy use in green buildings
The green buildings are fixed with energy censors to minimize the use of power within the building. When there is no person within a room the lights would automatically go off.
9.Water conservation and efficiency measures in green buildings
In green buildings water is used in most efficient way. The gray water from bath rooms is again recycled to flush toilets.
10.Proper disposal of garbage
The garbage of green buildings is properly handled placed and disposed off as per Building Bye Laws of respective Civic Bodies by segregating it into biodegradable and nonbiodegradable wastes.
11.Maintenance of greenery
In green buildings the open areas are well landscaped with maintenance of maximum greenery for building healthy environment.
