Dr. Manoj P K

Abstract :

The concept of ‘Green Houses’ has become all the more significant in the contemporary centrality as part of the waves of green movement sweeping across the world. Apart from benefits that such houses promise to the environment, they are cost–effective too. Thus, both from the environmental protection perspective and from the affordability perspective green buildings and habitats are significant. Equally significant is the need for rating buildings for assessing their compliance with laid down norms. In this context, with reference to Kerala state in India, this paper studies the relevance and significance of green houses and green house ratings, their relevance and implications on the environment and society, and such other aspects. Based on the study findings the paper gives suggestions for promotion of green housing for betterment society and environment.
