Green technology in construction

Abstract

This paper outlines the solutions for the energy efficient futuristic buildings. The implementation of latest technology in architecture and constructions will lead to better home with green standards. Buildings, accounting for 30–40 percent of global energy use, are known to be energy guzzlers. In India, buildings account for 30 percent of total energy consumption. The idea of green buildings promotes use of renewable energy, recyclable & recycled products, focus on efficient use of water, minimization of energy, improving occupational health and comfort. Green Buildings have few major areas which have potential to be tapped through appropriate usage in the design of the building by means of high thermal insulations. Rain harvesting, terrace gardening, extensive usage of CO2 sensors for better management of indoor air quality (IAQ), ventilation & Energy efficient EUROVENT & ARI certified air handling units which will lead to a perfect green building vision.
