Environment Awareness and Renewal using Technology and Harmony with Nature

What is EARTH?
Increasing resource use the efficiency of

Reducing building human health environment

impacts on and the

Better sitting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.

Present Situation
According to World Watch Institute, the problem with the conventional building, the type in which we live in are:

BUILDINGS USE 40% of raw stone, gravel and stone and other processed materials such as steel, adding to Land Destruction Deforestation Air and water pollution from processing 25% of wood is used for construction, adding to Deforestation Flooding Biological and Cultural Diversity Losses

Present Situation
40% of total energy use, adding to Local air pollution Acid rains Nuclear waste Risk of global warming

16% of total water withdrawals, adding to Water pollution; competes with agriculture and ecosystems of water
Poor air quality in 30% of new and renovated buildings Higher incidence of sickness lost productivity in tens of billions annually

What makes a Building Green?

EARTH
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources Use of Recycled and Environmental Friendly Building Materials

Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity

Reducing operating costs Indoor Air Quality for Human Safety and Comfort

Windows and Day Lighting

Reduce our electricity bill

It helps boost employee productivity and satisfaction

Durability

Windows and Day Lighting

GLASS
Glass satisfies all the ecological parameters of being the most sought after green building material in Green Buildings Recyclability Achieving energy efficiency Controls noise Innovative application

Energy Saving Lighting

Reduce the energy consumption by as much as 78% and have a longer life than incandescent bulbs

Lighting fixtures with a coefficient of utilization of at least 80 percent will be used

Energy Saving Lighting

HVAC
Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment perform heating and/or cooling for residential, commercial or industrial buildings

HVAC system is also responsible for providing fresh outdoor air to dilute interior airborne contaminants such as odors from occupants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from interior furnishings, chemicals used for cleaning

Non CFC Air Conditioners and Refrigerators

Non-CFC based centrifugal chillers manufactured today can achieve 40% improvement in energy consumption as compared to average energy consumption of older CFC-based centrifugal chillers

Pollutants released from old chillers cause economic damage to buildings and environmental and economic damage to vegetation, animals, and natural resources

Green Roofs
Grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air

The soil and plants on green roofs help to insulate a building for sound
