GREEN BUILDING
A practice of creating structures and using processes that are
environmentally responsible and resource efficient.
Throughout a building’s life-cycle from sitting to design , construction ,
operation , maintenance , renovation and deconstruction.
Provide comfortable living and working conditions to its occupants while
minimizing its detrimental impact on the environment.
OBJECTIVE:
Helps to reduce building-related environmental impacts while creating places that are healthier and more satisfying for people.
Energy efficient construction
techniques
GRIHA
Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment.
Griha conceived by TERI and developed jointly by
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy(MNRE),
Government of India.
Silent Points
GRIHA has been developed for the different agro-climatic Zones of India. Developed particularly for non-ac spaces or partially AC building.
Evaluators are experts from different fields connected to the buildings and
are from specific region where the building is situated
Stresses on optimization of visual and thermal indoor comfort.
Integrates all relevant Indian Codes and Standards to act as tools for
Emphasis
Minimize -
-resource consumption -waste generation
-overall ecological impact
By Five R philosophy- -Refuse -Reduce -Reuse -Recycle -Reinvent.
Why should you get your building rates?
Reduced energy consumption without sacrificing the comfort levels (lower
operational costs)
Reduced water consumption
Reduced system sizes (HVAC, transformers, cabling, etc.) for optimal
performance at local conditions.
Reduced investment (Lifecycle costs)
Reduced destruction of natural areas, habitats, and biodiversity, and
reduced soil loss from erosion etc.
Reduced air and water pollution (with direct health benefits) Limited waste generation due to recycling and reuse
Reduced pollution loads
There are 34 criteria of the GRIHA rating system under four main categories:
• Selection and site planning
Conservation and efficient utilization of resources
• Building Planning and Construction Stage:
To maximize resource(water, energy and materials) conservation and enhance efficiency of the system and operations
• Building operation and maintenance
Validate and maintain green performance levels/adopt and propagate green practices and concepts
• Innovation
Eight are mandatory, four are partly mandatory, while the rest are optional.

Several best practice guidelines were adopted like demarcation of site for construction:
Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering Building at IIT, Kanpur has been taken as an example to illustrate how the building attempted various GRIHA criteria to make it into a green building.
Sustainable site planning
•Adequate health and safety measures related to construction •More than 50% of the
paving is shaded by trees
•Irrigation water demand has been reduced by more than 50% in
comparison to GRIHA Benchmark
There are two ways of conserving water during post construction and after the building is occupied reduction:
Water conservation
•In landscape water demand by more than 50% was achieved by use of minimum grass/lawn area
•Low flow plumbing fixtures are used in the building resulting in reduced water consumption from GRIHA’s benchmark in this building by 62%
Maximum points weight age in GRIHA is given for energy conservation.
The criteria and commitment for energy conservation could be divided into three parts:
Conservation and efficient utilization of resource: energy
a. Energy: end use
b. Energy: embodied and construction c. Energy: Renewable energy utilization
Reduce cooling load in the air conditioned spaces and to in the non air conditioned areas
Efficient window design by selecting efficient glazing,
inside all the laboratory spaces of the building
Roof shaded by bamboo trellis and green cover from the roof
through integration of skylights and ventilators selected that complies with the efficiency recommended by the Energy Conservation Building code
a. Energy: End Use
Variable Frequency Drive installed in the Air Handling Units Low energy strategies such
to cool the condenser
Water loop, integration of thermal energy storage and enabled reduction in chiller capacity
Integration of energy efficient lighting design that complies to the recommendations of ECBC.
with artificial lighting.
Optimized architectural design and integration of energy efficient fixtures has resulted in the reduction in annual energy consumption by 41% from GRIHA’s benchmark
1. Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) with fly-ash content is used in plaster and masonry mortar.

water than conventional buildings for sanitary purposes)
• Reduce landscape water requirement by 50%
• Over 55% of water is recycled and reused within the complex • Use of low-energy materials, recycled content
• Minimize environmental impact with contemporary feel to the
buildings and spaces, thereby proving the point that green buildings can be as aesthetically pleasing as any conventional building and yet are able to have minimal negative impact on environment.

Leed india Griha
led by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)
conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the Ministry of New
and Renewable Energy, Government of India.
Rating is primarily based on per capita energy consumption
Is an easy, yet comprehensive rating system designed for India
“Too American" as the united states green building council (USGBC)
GRIHA on the other hand is made in India, for India
LEED offers fewer points for water conservation
GRIHA takes a major part of its classification system from LEED building commissioning is a
mandatory requirement ,not a common practice in India
Material and resource sustainability criteria are poorly

Conclusion
Green is not just about energy consumption…
Green buildings are not just more energy efficient than their
conventional counterparts, they also create healthier work, learning and living environments, with more natural light, natural ventilation and
cleaner air, and contribute to improved employee and student health, comfort, and productivity.
