  WHY WE NEEDGREEN BUILDING • According to the United Nations, cities consume two thirds of global energy use. 76% of the world’s energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) are also emitted by cities through transport, industry, and building and construction related activities. • Studies have shown that buildings and construction activities use 40% energy, • 30% mineral resources and 20% water of the world’s resources. It also accounts • for 40% CO2 emissions, 30% solid wastes and 20% water pollution in the world.

  INTRODUCTION • Green building(also known as 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.
• 4.
  OBJECTIVES OF GREEN BUILDING •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.
• 5.
  FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES • Structuredesign efficiency • Energy efficiency • Water efficiency • Materials efficiency • Waste and toxic reduction
• 6.
  • STRUCTURE EFFICIENCY: Itis the concept of sustainable building and has largest impact on cost and performance. It aims to minimize the enviornmment impact associated with all life-cycles. • ENERGY EFFICIENCY: The layout of the construction can be strategised so that natural light pours for additional warmth. Shading the roof with trees offers an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning.
• 7.
  • WATER EFFICIENCY: Tominimize water consumption one should aim to use the water which has been collected, used, purified and reused.
• 8.
  • MATERIAL EFFICIENCY: Materialsshould be use that can be recycled and can generate surplus amount of energy. An example of this are solar power panels,not only they provide lightening but they are also a useful energy source. • WASTE AND REDUCTION: It is probable to reuse resources. What may be waste to us may have another benefit to something else.

  DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BUILDINGS •The design,maintaince and construction of buildings have tremendous effect on our enviornment and natural resources. • Green Building is different from the other buildings because it use a minimum amount of nonrenewable energy, produce minimal pollution, increases the comfort, health and safety of the people who work in them. • It also minimize the waste in construction by recovering materials and reusing or recycling them.
• 12.
  BENEFITS OF GREENBUILDING • Buildings have a large effect on the enviornment,human health and the economy. • The successful adoption of GREEN BUILDING development can maximize both the economic and enviornmental performance of the buildings.

  CONCLUSION • This researchidentified the exciting developments taking place on the technology front and analyzes their implications for intelligent and green buildings, highlighting examples of “best in class” buildings employing green and intelligent technologies. These buildings are dynamic environments that respond to their occupants’ changing needs and lifestyles. This research provided documented evidence to educate and influence end-users, building owners, architects, and contractors that a “greener building” can be achieved using intelligent technology and that this “greening” will provide a tangible and significant return on investment.
