A Review Analysis on Importance of Green Building in India

Ashish Singh

Abstract


Climate change caused by the release of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) into the atmosphere has been recognized as one of the greatest threats of the world. The condition of the earth is deteriorating with a rapid rate, and it will turn severe unless people adopt eco-friendly policies. Eco-structure building has long been a concept and widely practiced for better living. In India, up to 40% of the entire energy level is utilized by the buildings and constructions. It’s possible to decrease the amount only by the way of converting the buildings into eco-structure or green architecture concept. This can provide 50% saving opportunity to the nation. Importance of constructing building structures in eco-friendly way is now becoming the major concern. Moreover, it has a lot of benefits for the society, economy and human being. However, the rate of the urbanization, it’s not an easy deal to go through eco-structuring or green building construction. Obstacles regarding eco-structure building with heavy weight population are a constant. People are now concern about better living and healthy environment. This study shows the scenario of rapid population growth, urbanization, importance of green building by finding some obstacles. The current paper presents a conceptual framework intended at applying sustainability principles in the building industry.
