    This document discusses green architecture and building. Green buildings are designed and constructed to reduce environmental impact through techniques like energy efficiency, water conservation, use of sustainable materials, and indoor environmental quality enhancement. Key aspects of green building include efficient energy and water use, reducing pollution and waste, and optimizing operations and maintenance while providing occupant health and productivity. Standards and rating systems have been developed worldwide to promote and measure green building practices.

    GREEN ARCHITECTURE

    Lecture 10
    Green Architecture
    ▪ Green building (also known as green
    construction or sustainable/environmental building)
    ▪ Buildings that is environmentally responsible and
    resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle:
    from siting to design, construction, operation,
    maintenance, renovation, and demolition
    ▪ This requires close cooperation of the design team,
    the architects, the engineers, and the client at all
    project stages
    Green Archi…
    ▪ designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
    environment on human health and the natural
    environment by:
    ▪Efficiently using energy, water, and other
    resources
    ▪Protecting occupant health and improving
    employee productivity
    ▪ Reducing waste, pollution
    and environmental degradation

    ▪ Energy Efficiency
    ▪ include measures to reduce energy
    consumption
    ▪  passive solar building design
    ▪effective window placement (daylighting)
    ▪ solar water heating
    ▪renewal energy i.e. wind power, hydro,
    biomas, etc.
