The basic elements of green buildings are solar water heating systems, use of glass panels to allow natural light inside the building during daytime, rainwater harvesting, environmentally friendly building materials and specifications, waste minimization, maximizing energy use in buildings, and use of water conservation and energy efficient equipment.

Green buildings are gaining momentum and could account for 20% of all constructions by 2030. They are healthier places to live and work, minimize energy and water use, and generate better profits. Green buildings are a happy sign of the times, with a growing awareness on carbon emissions.

The concept “Green Building” is attracting people’s imagination. Though the concept could attract only 5 percent of the population, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) is happy that the residential sector is coming up with such buildings.

The concept is coming up in all cities and not only in metros. The demand for such projects is increasing which is boosting the confidence of developers. Apart from being environment sensitive, buyers are also looking at the economical aspect of a green building. Naturally lit, ventilated and designed for climate are few of green house features which you can look for yourself in an apartment.
