The Green Building concept or the new age technology to eliminate negative impacts on our climate and natural environment through changing one’s mindset on sustainability through construction is gaining a lot of popularity in India.
It not only preserves natural resources but also improves the quality of living and of life.
Well! You ask me how?
The concept of Green building Technology was conceived with the thought of bringing in a new safe India for a better tomorrow. This new approach to save water, conserve energy, and other material sources in the construction and its maintenance was to eliminate the adverse impact on the environment and even the people living there. Following an eco-friendly way of development focuses on the use of energy efficiently and avoids any process which harms nature even in the slightest of ways.
There are thousands of reasons why urbanization and industrialization have impacted our environment but through Green Building it made sure that the construction, maintenance of any building requires less energy, less water, and has less solid waste.
Some of the maximum recycled materials being used are fly ash, crushed aggregate, brickbats, rise husk, waste glass, jute fibers, structural insulated panels, bamboo, cellulose etc.
The green building concept is accomplished through different benchmarks and sustainable site designs such as:
· Water quantity quality, further use, and conservation
· Focus on the Climate, energy, and the natural surroundings
· Indoor environment
· Innovation
· Design and the process
· Material and resources.
With more and more housing societies or campuses having their energy turbines, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycle systems, solar panels, or even waste management systems we know that we are slowly getting there.
The best example of a green building is Suzlon One Earth located in Pune or even the ITC Maurya, Gurgaon which is one of the best eco-friendly hotels in India.
