A Green building is one which emphasises on the reduced use of water, the optimum use of energy efficiency, conservation of natural resources, generation of limited waste as well as providing a healthier existence for the occupants of the building compared to a conventional building. They are called ‘Green buildings’ because they are built based on eco-friendly concepts, making optimum use of natural resources like land, water, air, light, energy and other natural resources.
