Abstract :

 The Conventional energy of the world is vanishing day by day at the exponential rate. So it‘s the time for man to think about preserving it by moving on using non–conventional energy. As everything starts from oneself, one should start it from ones house itself by building something that does not use much of the energies that are depleting rather using natural energies i.e. is to switch on to green houses. We often think of "green" building as environmentally friendly. But to really understand the term, let‘s examine it in the context of the full construction market — from the supply chain of product manufacturers and material suppliers, to the design professionals, contractors and installers, to maintenance personnel. A green building, also known as a sustainable building, is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource–efficient manner. Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact on the environment. In this paper a ief introduction to Green building in given and various basic criteria‘s to obtain green building certificate laid by Indian Green Building Council are also discussed. At the end one case study for a residential project as a green building is also presented herewith.
