Green buildings is nothing but buildings that consumes or using less energy, water, and other resources. Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy consumption and focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Green building is current trend in real estate India.

It is certainly just not a phrase. There are various green buildings in India like Suzlon Energy Limited - Pune, Biodiversity Conservation India Ltd (BCIL) - Bangalore, Olympia Technology Park - Chennai, ITC Green Centre - Gurgaon, The Druk White Lotus School - Ladakh, La Cuisine Solaire - Auroville, Doon School - Dehradun,etc. The Housing and Urban Development Corporation (Hudco) in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) has come up with a new project on green buildings. This plan includes site planning, energy saving equipments and also the water recycling plants.The Haryana government has taken up the initiative of prompting green buildings.
