Definition:A green building is one which uses less water,

optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for

occupants, as compared to a conventional building.

Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by: Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Protecting occupant health and improving employee

productivity. Reducing waste, pollution and environmental

degradation.

Tangible Benefits:

How to increase energy efficiency:Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy use.

By natural resources: By the materials used:

1. Solar Energy2. Geothermal Energy3. Wind Energy4. Water Energy

• By using high-efficiency windows and insulation in walls, ceilings, and floor.

This green architecture is a regular cycle that moves around according to the picture shown above.
