GREEN BUILDING 1
Defining Green Buildings
Design and construction practices that
significantly reduce, or eliminate the
negative impact of buildings on the
environment and its occupants with
regard to site planning; safeguarding
water use and water use efficiency;
promoting energy efficiency and
renewable energy; conserving materials
and resources; and promoting indoor
environmental quality.
(Green Building Council)
GREEN BUILDING 2

Development that meets the needs of
present generations without
compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.

resource conservation. If there is an increase in first cost
it is easily recoverable in a short period.
2. They promote occupant health, safety and well being and
thereby productivity.
3. They generate good will and sustainability of resources.
4. Community is the major beneficiary of the Green
buildings as they require less drain on local infrastructure
and contribute to local economic development.

Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design
A leading-edge system for
designing, constructing,
operating and certifying the
worlds greenest buildings.
GREEN BUILDING 7
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED-INDIA) Green Building Rating System
is a nationally and internationally accepted
benchmark for the design, construction and
operation of high performance green buildings.
LEED-INDIA provides building owners, architects,
consultants, developers, facility managers and
project managers the tools they need to design,
construct and operate green buildings.
LEED-INDIA promotes a whole-building approach to
sustainability by recognizing performance in the
following five key areas:

RATING SYTEM OF LEED
Rating Points Performance Level Building achieving related
performance level
Certified 26-32 Best Practice Most buildings should be able to
achieve this with minor
design/specification changes.
Silver 33-38 Outstanding The building demonstrating
Performance outstanding performance in most
area will acieve this.
Gold 39-51 National Excellence The building pushing forward the
boundaries of environment
performance will achieve this.
Platinum 52-69 Global Leadership The building demonstrating
extemplary environmental
performance across the full range
of issues will achieve this.

CONCLUSI
ON
This paper thus provide a clear picture about the
advantages of Green Building over other
conventional and present method, So from this
we can clearly conclude that it is better to
investment in high-performance building rather
than other methods that may cause a huge
impact over the Environment. So,
We must develop a better sense of
responsibility towards our total
environment ...
Go Green with Green Building
