Green Buildings by AISTowards a greener, more eco-friendly way of living.

AIS What is a Green Building?

"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."

• Integration of renewable energy sources to generate energy on-site and use of energy efficient and eco-friendly equipments.

• Efficient use of water, water recycling and waste management

• Selection of ecologically sustainable materials• Indoor environmental quality (maintain indoor thermal &

visual comfort and air quality)

AIS AIS Green Buildings

As India’s leading integrated glass company, AIS has been at the forefront of moving towards an eco-friendly future.

It has pioneered innovations in glass processing technology to develop both single-glazed and double-glazed products with the best ‘green’ parameters.

Energy efficient solutions from AIS enhances the aesthetics, efficiency and economics of commercial and residential spaces, compared to traditional building materials.

A green building rating system is an evaluation tool that measures environmental performance of a building through its life cycle.

AIS Green standards

Three rating systems are followed in India:

•LEED India (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)

•IGBC (Indian Green Building Council)

•GRIHA – (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment)

AIS

LEED-INDIA promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in the following five key areas: • Sustainable site development• Water savings• Energy efficiency• Materials selection and• Indoor environmental quality

Green standards

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED-INDIA) is a nationally and internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), in its endeavour to extend green building concepts to all building types has developed the following rating programmes to cover commercial, residential, factory buildings, SEZ etc.

AIS

Specific IGBC programs include:

•IGBC Green Homes•IGBC Green SEZ •IGBC Green Factory Building

Green standards

AIS• GRIHA, an acronym for Green Rating for Integrated

Habitat Assessment, is the National Rating System of India.

• It has been conceived by TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) and developed jointly with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India.

• It is a green building 'design evaluation system', and is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the country.

AIS Role of Glass in Green Buildings

• Buildings across the world have a tremendous environmental impact during their life.

• Globally, Buildings are responsible for at least 40% of energy use. Construction of new buildings generate large amount of solid waste that disturbs natural habitat & vegetation.

• Green buildings offer immense potential to reduce consumption & regenerate resources from waste and renewable sources

• Green buildings consume 40% ~ 60% lesser electricity as compared to conventional buildings.

• Green buildings consume 40% ~ 80% lesser water as compared to conventional buildings, by utilizing ultra low fixtures, rain water harvesting, waste water recycling etc.

• Green buildings generate lesser waste by employing waste management strategies on-site.

Tangible Benefits AIS

Intangible BenefitsAIS•Enhanced air quality.•Excellent day lighting.•Health & well-being of the occupants.•Conservation of scarce national resources.•Enhanced marketability for the project.

AIS• Glass being an important building material, it affects

design, appearance, thermal performance and occupant comfort.

• Selection of glass has become more complex since a variety of glasses are available to choose from, ranging from performance to aesthetics.

• The properties of glass have become multifaceted, able to perform a wide variety of functions, like Solar Control to Thermal Insulation.

AIS Green Building Rating System

In India, ‘green buildings’ are rated as per two independent rating systems:

• The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) rating system, derived from the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) .

• The Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), developed by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

Key factors which play an important role in designing the building envelope with glass are as follows.

• Solar Factor (SF) / Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC)

• U-Value• Relative Heat Gain (RHG)• Visual Comfort

Energy ManagementAIS

The future is green

• The idea of green buildings has now gained momentum, with greater use of green materials like glass.

• The environmental impact of increased construction activity has been on the agenda of Government entities and the Environment Ministry.

• Construction houses are striving to obtain sustainability certifications, to ensure a better quality of life and to help conserve the environment.

• Living in harmony with nature is the surest way of ensuring a sustainable future for the planet. ‘Green buildings’ are helping us achieve that idea.
