What is a Green Building?
A green building is one that uses resources—energy, water, and materials—more efficiently than traditional buildings, while creating healthier environments for occupants. Green buildings reduce carbon emissions, lower operational costs, and enhance occupant wellbeing. More importantly, they contribute to larger goals such as climate change mitigation, water conservation, and sustainable urban development.
Green building certification provides a measurable, structured framework to assess these efforts. Certification systems like IGBC, GRIHA, LEED, and ECBC help projects demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while gaining recognition, incentives, and long-term cost savings.
Key Focus Areas in Green Building Design
Our green building design strategy focuses on holistic performance across five key areas:
1. Energy Efficiency
We reduce building energy loads through envelope optimization, efficient HVAC design, daylight harvesting, and renewable energy integration. Our modeling tools help identify cost-saving strategies early in the design phase.
2. Water Management
Our water-efficient designs include low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and landscaping strategies that conserve water and reduce dependency on municipal sources.
3. Material Selection
We recommend regionally sourced, low-VOC, recycled, and rapidly renewable materials to reduce environmental impact and improve indoor air quality.
4. Waste Minimization
Through on-site segregation, construction waste management plans, and sustainable procurement, we reduce landfill impact during construction and operation.
5. Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
We focus on natural ventilation, daylighting, thermal comfort, and pollutant control to enhance occupant health and productivity.
