Green Building

Introduction

The green building field stated to rise in popularity in the nineties and one of the first milestones for the green movement in the United States was in 1989 when the American Association of Architects (AIA) formed the Committee on the Environment. This organization released a book in 1992; this was the Environmental Resource Guide, which was paid for by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Also in 1992 the EPA and the Department of Energy launched the Energy Star program, which is more popular now than ever before. 1992 also saw the first US city, Austin, TX; release a local green housing program.

The following year, 1993 saw many more advancements in the Green Revolution and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) was founded. The White House also had many green renovation projects done during the Clinton administration in 1993. More and more people started realizing the benefits and started making small changes in their homes by going energy star with appliances. In 1998 the USGBC launched their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program and they helped contribute to the future of green building. These different programs have helped make many changes when it comes to environmentally friendly construction and they are a big part of the history of building green.

Green Building Movement in India

Globally the Green Movement started in 1990 with the establishment of the first Green Building rating system, BREEAM in the U.K., followed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1993. The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) was instituted in 2001. IGBC which is a part of the CII- Godrej Green Business Centre, Hyderabad, is actively involved in promoting the green building concept in India.

Definition of Green Building

"A green building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building."

FEATURES OF IGP OFFICE COMPLEX

PASSIVE ARHITECTURE

This is an Evaporative cooling technique, in which outdoor hot air is cooled by cold water. The latent heat of air is used to evaporate water, thus cooling the air, which in turns cools the living space of the building. Cold water is circulated through nozzles and charcoal trays for filtering hot air. Very inexpensive when compared to conventional cooling systems.

DAY LIGHT HARVESTING

Large size windows are designed for maximum sunlight inside the building. There by minimizing the use of electrical energy during the day. Use of Special glass panes reduces heat radiation from coming in. Solar lights are provided all around the building for illumination during the night.

COMPOSITE MANSORY

Composite stone and brick masonry sandwiched with rat traps insulate the building against heat from solar radiation. Terrace green grass, china mosaic over covered vaults too helps reduce the effects of heat radiation. While Pseudo triangular pillars enhance architectural beauty of the building.

Roof top Gardening

Roof top garden is developed on the 2nd floor by making water proofing and drainage layer to drain off the garden water.

On account of this, there is significant reduction in the heat inside the building.

High Albido Paint (Thermo Shield)

On the roof over conference hall, high Albido paint (thermo Shield) is applied to reflect the solar heat due to sunlight. The paint also acts as water proofing agent and keeps the building cool.

Root Zone Treatment System (RTZS)

The plants which are planted in filter bed consisting of sand/ gravel/ Soil/ RTZS use a natural way to effectively treat domestic and industrial effluents. The waste water flows through the root zone in horizontal way, where the organic pollutants are decomposed bio-chemically by the bacteria p-resent in the rhizosphere of root plants. There by reducing pollution as well as protecting the environment.

Rain Water Harvesting

The building harvest rain water by collecting water from the roof- Top surface. The collected water in the sump tank is used for circulation in wind towers by pumping through solar pumps. Extra water collected in the sump tank flows to percolation pits to recharge the bore-well.

SOLAR PANELS FOR ELECRTCITY

Solar power packSolar water pumps (Used for cooling towers)Hybrid Power Generation, Solar streets lights.

Solar Energy is the most readily

available natural source of energy , which is free. The most important non convectional energy source which is non polluting, there by reducing the green house effect and by reducing consumption of energy from state electric grid or KPTCL. Solar Energy is used for domestic, Street lighting

and water pumping. KSPHC had

installed 2 solar powered pumps for pumping continuous water required for operation of Wind Tower.KSPHC has also installed 13 solar streetlights for continuous lighting.

Construction Type Of Walls

The rat-trap bond is laid by placing the bricks on their sides having a cavity of 4? (100 mm), with alternate course of stretchers and headers. The headers and stretchers are staggered in subsequent layers to give more strength to the walls.

Credit Rating System

A whole-building approach to sustainability and is recognized by the performance in the following five key areas:

Sustainable site development:It Involves, whenever possible, the reuse of

existing buildings and preservation of surrounding environment. Water savings:

Depending upon the conservation of water and usage of water. Energy efficiency:

On the basis of efforts to made to reduce energy. Materials selection:

Types of material used in construction and interior. Indoor environmental quality.

Registration and Certification

Registration

The first step toward earning LEED-INDIA certification is project registration. Registering during the early phases of project design will ensure maximum potential for achieving certification. Registration is an important step that establishes contact with the IGBC and provides access to essential information, software tools and communications. Upon registration, project contacts receive LEED India templates and a Reference guide.Once a project is registered, the project team begins to prepare documentation and calculations to satisfy the prerequisite and credit submittal requirements. It is helpful to have a IGBC Accredited Professional as the project contact and team member responsible for coordinating the LEED-INDIA process and requirements.

Certification

LEED India certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest performance standards. The LEED India plaque awarded by the IGBC is a recognition of the project achievement.
