Presented by: 1. Muhammad Mahmudun Nobi2. Tauhidul Miah3. Sumayatul Mosharraf
Globally buildings are responsible for a huge share of energy, electricity, water and materials consumption. The building sector has the greatest potential to deliver significant cuts in emissions at little or no cost. Buildings account for 18% of global emissions today, or the equivalent of 9 billion tons of CO2 annually. If new technologies in construction are not adopted during this time of rapid growth, emissions could double by 2050, according to the United Nations Environment Program. Green building practices aim to reduce the environmental impact of building.
Introduction
What is Eco-Friendly StructureEco-structure, is referred to as sustainable construction or green building, proposes various possibilities of reducing the environmental impact of buildings

• The Bullitt centre can even stand alone from the municipal water system!
• It is designed to last for over 250 years.

Melbourne’s council building
Melbourne’s council building features wind turbines sewage recycling chilled ceilings and photovoltaic-powered recycled louvers that
track the sun and promote a healthier internal environment.
The ceilings are made from pre-cast concrete, with a 'wavy' shape, to optimise surface area, which allows for an increase in thermal mass capacity
Cor, Miami, Florida
This building is highly energy efficient. The bubbles provide enclosures for wind turbines and
garden terraces.
