Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact and increase efficiency. They use energy, water, and other resources more efficiently while reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation. Green building techniques include optimizing energy efficiency, conserving natural resources, generating less waste, and providing healthier spaces for occupants. Some methods used are renewable materials, reuse of existing materials, sustainable concrete, solar tiles, triple glazed windows, and using bamboo instead of steel bars. Green buildings offer benefits like efficient technologies, easier maintenance, improved indoor air quality, energy and water efficiency, reduced waste, temperature moderation, and healthier lifestyles. However, green materials may be less available and construction can require more time and skilled workers.
2. Definition :-
Practice of increasing
efficiency with which
buildings use resources-
energy, water and
materials-while reducing
building impacts on human
health and the environment

3. • Green Buildings are designed to reduce the overall
impact on human health and the natural environment by
the following ways:
• Using energy, water and other resources efficiently.
• By reducing waste, pollution, and environmental
degradation.
4. Green construction or sustainable building
expands and complements the building design
concerns of economy, utility, durability, and
comfort.
A Green Building is one which uses less water,
optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural
resources, generates less waste and provides
healthier space for occupants as compared to
conventional buildings.
Preference over conventional building
5. waste is minimized at every stage during the
construction and operation of the building,
resulting in low costs, according to experts
in the technology.

It includes measures to prevent erosion of soil,
rainwater harvesting, use of solar energy,
reduction in usage of water, recycling of waste
water and use of energy efficient practices.
6. • Structure design efficiency
• Energy efficiency
• Water efficiency
• Materials efficiency
• Waste and toxic reduction
12. Nowadays we are facing a lot of
environmental problems like green
house,global warming and non renewable
energy is expansive and unsafe.So as a civil
engineer we can save our environment by
applying this technique.
GREEN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY SHOULD REACH ALL
