Introduction to
Green Building
• Green building is the
practice of increasing the
efficiency with which
buildings use resources -
energy, water and
materials while reducing
building impacts on human
health and the
Environment, through
better site, design,
construction, Operation,
maintenance, and removal
complete.

Design criteria
1.Efficiently using energy, water,
and other resources.
2.Protecting occupant health and
improving employee productivity.
3.Reducing waste, pollution and
environmental degradation

environmental quality
enhancement
• EPA ranks indoor
air pollution among
the top five
environmental
risks.
• Unhealthy air is
found in up to 30
percent of new and
renovated
buildings.
• Of hundreds of
EPA-regulated
chemicals, only
ozone and sulfur
dioxide are more
prevalent outdoor
than indoor.
• We can improve
the indoor air
quality by:-
• Introducing plants
to the indoor
environment
• Plants can help
maintain humidity,
increase
productivity, and
scrub the air of
dangerous
chemicals.
• the ability of
plants to clean the
air could result in
less demand for
ventilation, leading
to lower energy
use by mechanical
systems.

2. Green roofs2. Green roofs
• A green or vegetated roof provides the function of a conventional roof while
allowing plants to grow on the surface.
• A vegetated roof includes water proofing, a drainage system, filter layer, a
lightweight growing medium, and plants.
• An ‘extensive’ green roof has a relatively shallow soil profile (1 to 5 inches)
and is planted with ground cover plants that are adapted to the harsh
conditions of the rooftop microclimate.
• The vegetated cover protects the roof membrane resulting in a longer service lifeThe vegetated cover protects the roof membrane resulting in a longer service life
