GREEN BUILDINGS – ON THE MOVE
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Green building education requires successful teamwork of students from different disciplines in order to solve challenging problems in construction and design of buildings. “sustainable building” is the design and construction of buildings using methods and materials that are resource efficient and that will not compromise the health of the environment or the associated health and well being of the building’s occupants, construction workers, the general public, or future generations. Sustainable building involves the consideration of many issues, including land use, site impacts, indoor environment, energy and water use, solid waste, and lifecycle impacts of building materials. Making existing and new buildings is one of the most effective levers to meet the challenges of CO2 reduction in cities. This paper discusses the concept of green buildings which are buildings based on sustainable principles, designed, built, renovated, operated and reused in an ecological and resource efficient manner and also presents a case study of building which is designed and constructed based on concept of green building
