CHAPTER 3GREEN CONCEPT AND
IMPLEMENTATION IN THE BLDG
Green Building, alsoknown as green
construction or sustainable building, is the practice
of creatingstructures and using processes that are
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout
a building's life-cycleTo begin with the green concept the
first and foremost thing to know is that thedesign and
the architecture should be such that maximum of the gift
of nature isutilized and minimum energy consumption and
maintenance is required which isthe basic requirement of
a particular structure to be economical.
“For every one million sq.ft of constructed green
building footprint, the CO 2reductions around 12,000 tonnes
per annum”
NECESSICITY FOR THE GREEN CONCEPT:-
Buildings account
for:• 72% of electricity consumption,• 39% of energy use,
13
PLANNING AND DESIGN OF A COMMERCIAL

• 38% of all carbon dioxide (CO
2
)
emissions,• 40% of raw materials use,• 30% of waste output (
136 million tons annually), and• 14% of potable water consum
ption.Hence, because of the above consequences the
green building concept has to beused for our future
generations to breathe in fresh air and be out of the danger
of environmental impacts.
