Green Building Green building - also known as sustainable or high performance building - is the practice of: • Increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use and harvest energy, water, and materials; and • Protecting and restoring human health and the environment, throughout the building life-cycle: siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.

Green Building Concept The `Green Building' concept is gaining importance in various countries, including India. These are buildings that ensure that waste is minimized at every stage during the construction and operation of the building, resulting in low costs, according to experts in the technology.

Cont…. • The techniques associated with the `Green Building' include measures to prevent erosion of soil, rainwater harvesting, preparation of landscapes to reduce heat, reduction in usage of potable water, recycling of waste water and use of world class energy efficient practices.

What makes a building "green"? A green building is a structure that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout its life-cycle. These objectives expand and complement the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by: • Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources • Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity • Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation

For example………. Green buildings may incorporate sustainable materials in their construction (e.g., reused, recycled-content, or made from renewable resources); Create healthy indoor environments with minimal pollutants (e.g., reduced product emissions); And feature landscaping that reduces water usage (e.g., by using native plants that survive without extra watering).

How Homes Become Green

Building Types • Homes • Schools • Commercial Buildings • Laboratories • Healthcare Facilities

Benefits Of Green Building Buildings have an enormous impact on the environment, human health, and the economy. The successful adoption of green building strategies can maximize both the economic and environmental performance of buildings.

Environmental benefits • Enhance and protect biodiversity and ecosystems • Improve air and water quality • Reduce waste streams • Conserve and restore natural resources

Economic benefits • Reduce operating costs • Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services • Improve occupant productivity • Optimize life-cycle economic performance

Social benefits • Enhance occupant comfort and health • Heighten aesthetic qualities • Minimize strain on local infrastructure • Improve overall quality of life

How do buildings affect natural resources? • Buildings and development have significant environmental impacts on our natural resources, including: • According to surveys conducted in 2002, 107.3 million acres of the 1.983 billion acres of total land area in the U.S. is developed, which represents an increase of 24 percent in developed land over the past 10 years. • In terms of energy, buildings accounted for 39.4 percent of total U.S. energy consumption and 67.9 percent of total U.S. electricity consumption in 2002.

Cont…. • Building occupants use 12.2 percent of the total water consumed in the U.S. per day. • Buildings, and the transportation infrastructure that serves them, replace natural surfaces with impermeable materials, creating runoff that washes pollutants and sediments into surface waters. Urban runoff constitutes a major threat to water resources, as it has been identified as the fourth leading source of impairment in rivers, third in lakes, and second on estuaries.

How do buildings affect climate change? • The energy used to heat and power our buildings leads to the consumption of large amounts of energy, mainly from burning fossil fuels - oil, natural gas and coal - which generate significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most widespread greenhouse gas. Buildings in the U.S. contribute 38.1 percent of the nation's total carbon dioxide emissions.

Cont…. • Reducing the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions produced by buildings is therefore fundamental to the effort to slow the pace of global climate change. Buildings may be associated with the release of greenhouse gases in other ways, for example, construction and demolition debris that degrades in landfills may generate methane, and the extraction and manufacturing of building materials may also generate greenhouse gas emissions.

Kerala Architecture - A Case study

Related Papers

Janmejoy Gupta , Naushaba Jameel

The vernacular architecture of any place is evolved through ages by consistent and continuous effort for more efficient solutions. Housing typologies though a result of multiple determinants, climate and culture are the two most important determinants. Materials, construction, and technology are best treated as modifying factors, rather than form determinants. This paper studies the evolution of vernacular architecture of Kerala in response to climatic conditions and varied cultural influences it has been subjected to. The orientation of buildings", internal arrangement of spaces, the presence of internal courtyards , use of locally available materials and other socio-cultural factors have combined together to create the vernacular architecture as it exists today. Other than improved thermal comfort, the vernacular architecture of Kerala also gives a number of pointers towards betterment of architectural quality in modern architecture with respect to planning principles, aesthetics and building materials used in built form. Alongside, this paper also looks at the different architectural lessons that can be learnt from the vernacular architecture of Kerala to be applied to modern architecture practiced in Kerala to make it more culturally and climatologically contextual to Kerala.

The architectural language of India versatile and still it is changing. While considering Kerala, it has an architectural style that has more depth and independence which was not influenced by other foreign and only evolved from the cultural, regional and functional aspects. This architectural fashion has been followed for a long period of time and its essence is persisting. The Kerala traditional architecture has its high importance as it satisfied all the concerns contextually, culturally and functionally. The more important form is naalukettu style which has been constructed for many years and many are still naalukettu which has its glory. One of the finest examples for the traditional naalukettu is Paliyam house for the women’s of Paliyam family. But as the time changes, people changes, cultural values changes, climate changes, needs and requirement changes so as a result of these architectural fashion should also be changes or evolves. But as the traditional architecture has its roots deep every evolution has taken its essence and put out architecture that is functionally appropriate. But due to the European influence in the recent eras, as people tend to follow the European culture they also tend to follow the architectural style, at that time it was contemporary style which took the Kerala architecture to a new era. The contemporary architecture was seen all over during those times and still seen. One of the examples of the contemporary architecture style is the skewed house by lijo –reni architects at Palakkad.as the time goes the contemporary architecture got many defaults as they are not fully satisfying the architecture of Kerala through various aspects.so many architects tend to combine both these architecture styles to produce a style which is much more functionally and esthetically pleasing. There are many examples that could be seen of this architecture style like the shikara residence by the wall makers, the canopy house by the scribble engine, the glass encased house by the stapati architects. But these styles does not identifies as Kerala. Kerala architecture tends to the crisis of identity crisis as in the present era. The identity of Kerala architecture is lost and it is not gaining back again as the architecture is still changing. This identity crisis is evident……

Traditional architectural buildings may be found in major parts of Kerala and have developed through time via a steady, persistent search for optimal design. Traditional building architecture in Kerala has long been revered for its reliance on all-natural, low-tech solutions to ensure a pleasant living space. This review paper is a comprehensive investigation of these traditional architectures of the Kerala system. The inside environment is the result of several factors, including the building's orientation, the layout of its interior areas, the existence of a courtyard, the use of readily accessible local materials, the application of any unusual construction techniques, etc. Studies were carried out to conduct a quantitative study by keeping track of the building's temperature and other factors related to occupant satisfaction. The present study shows that the ambient climate management technique used in traditional Kerala building is quite efficient and have better climatic response while maintaining a comfortable internal temperature throughout the year.

We need to study the rich Traditional Architecture of these identified regions. In this interesting search, the amazing facts regarding similarities between Kerala's traditional Nalukettu houses and traditional Manor houses of South Kanara need to be highlighted. The Nalukettu is the traditional style of architecture of Kerala where in an agrarian setting a house has a quadrangle in the centre. Originally the abode of the wealthy Brahmin and Nair families, this style of architecture has today become a status symbol among the well-to-do in Kerala. Nalukettu is evident in the traditional homes of the upper class homestead where customs and rituals were a part of life. The Manor houses are the dwellings of Bunt community. They are usually set amidst the agricultural fields. The houses have large courtyards to perform all the activities of farming. Usually the products from the field are got separated, cleaned and stored. They have a large cow shed at the rear of the house.

Sustainable architecture is gaining its momentum in recent years. Traditional architecture is sustainable as it satisfies the climatic and cultural needs of the people. Traditional architectural form of a region depends upon the climate, occupation, religion, socio – economic status, education, materials available and the other socio – cultural factors. Tiruchendur has a unique culture which can be revealed in its regional architecture character. Their dwellings reflect occupant’s activities in their lives, while adapting to the warm and humid climate. Tiruchendur is famous for its Arupadai veedu temple and develops a Hindu community. It has a very unique Brahmin settlement and brings in regional identity to that place. The characteristics of these dwellings have remained unchanged until the 19th century. But at present many houses are left in a ruined state due to immigration to urban areas and also due to changes adopted in the years. New houses that are built now, seem unsustaina...

This is an exploration into the origin and development of the indigenous style of Kerala temples within the broader category of Dravidian architecture. The present paper, rather than focusing on any intact stylistic aspect, would focus on the formation of sub-regional architectural styles in pre-modern times.

The cultural heritage of any country is seen best exposed in its architectural monuments. The ways in which buildings are designed, constructed and decorated speak not only the technical and artistic capabilities of the craftsmen, but also of the aspirations and visions of the preceptors, for whom the construction is only a medium for thematic expression. Kerala abounds with many such architectural monuments-prehistoric megalithic,

Case Study: Changing the Concept of Government Buildings

The main building in the Kane County Government Complex in Kane County, Illinois. Image source: Wikimedia Commons

There is a saying among fans of some architecture schools that form should serve function and the design of a building should be aligned with the building’s purpose. This often comes to fruition as a gray, excessively utilitarian design: square, blocky, and supposedly designed with no frills in order to provide maximum efficiency. For decades, this was the driving architectural consideration for government buildings, which is why they frequently err on the side of monolithic. Their function is to get people in and out without any fuss; therefore, the design should be the same.

A counter-argument to that would insist that the function of a government building isn’t just to process papers but to serve the people, and to make them feel like a part of the democratic system we have set up. One could even make the case that the dim and un-imaginative school of government buildings is antithetical to that purpose. Indeed, the dull and purely functionary gloom many of them evoke actually alienates people from their own government.

Today, let’s take a look at an example of a government building that has eschewed the more stoic school of architecture so we can see how making a smart real estate choice can have a positive impact on the people inside (and even outside) for decades to come.

Case Study in Smart Government Buildings: Kane County, IL

The Fox River burbles up from marshlands in southern Wisconsin and picks up steam as it rolls south to merge with the Illinois on its way to the Mississippi, and thence the world. In Illinois, it runs through some heavy industrial area, and it was heavily polluted for awhile. It is cleaner now, though, and as those river towns moved away from industry, they began to take care of the river and tend its banks. Even in towns the river is met with beauty.

At one point, in the town of Geneva in Kane County, it rolls past a cluster of buildings tucked into a woodsy seclusion along its banks. The buildings are old, built from brick, and boast towers, making them reminiscent of another era. These are the government buildings for Kane County, a county of a half-million people west of Chicago, where the expanding exurbs begin intruding into the Illinois farmland. Someone driving by could be forgiven for not recognizing that these were official government buildings. They certainly don’t evoke a bureaucratic feeling. That’s because they weren’t always government buildings. In fact, they used to be a seminary.

When Kane County was expanding during the last century, it kept running out of room for its official buildings. It built several new courthouses, including some real beauties, but a booming population needed more room. Despite coming of age in the height of the “form serves function” phenomenon, Kane County rejected that ethos and went to look for land. The Sacred Heart Seminary, a turn-of-the-century institution, was selling, and so they bought it. In doing so, they provided an important lesson for expanding governments looking to find more room for less money.

Consider Unusual Buildings

This is cheaper than buying land and putting new offices in them, and most of the time, the end result is far nicer than another storefront DMV. A cluster of buildings like this was in the community, but not intrusive. The infrastructure was already there, and while it has been continually updated throughout the years, it provided an established zone of operations.

Community Integration

Not only is the building not an intrusion, but it’s even a pleasure to visit. If you were to walk around the grounds, you might even see people picnicking and enjoying the relaxed vibe of the area. Once inside, even mundane tasks like standing in line feel less painful. There is no need for a government building to feel like its ultimate goal is to exact punishment on its users. By making the space welcoming, it becomes an integrated space within the local community, rather than merely the site of a dreaded administrative task.

Flexible Use of Space

Because Kane County Government Complex is actually composed of several established buildings, the offices are assigned to different buildings throughout the area based on function. This allows for shorter lines in each building and substantially less confusion for visitors.

Needless to say, not every county or city has the option of an old seminary on a picturesque river. Luckily, you don’t need it. You just need to expand the idea of what a government building could be. Limiting your real estate options to traditional office spaces can make you miss real opportunities to not just find less expensive property, but to help redefine the government experience for your citizens.

Architectural trends come and go. Style goes in and out. But what doesn’t change is the need for government buildings to be responsive and adaptive to the public. By expanding your real estate search to non-traditional venues, you have a great chance to fulfill your function, regardless of the form.

If your government agency is seeking new facilities, you don’t have to go it alone. You can get a thorough analysis of the market with all the available options from a consultant whose community values align with your own. Contact DCG Real Estate today to learn more.

Text description provided by the architects. Circuit house is a government public building which not only accommodates the VIP authorities but also acts as a node for political meetings, government authorities’ discussions and conferences. Usually, circuit houses have large number of visitors and occupancy can vary extremely. The project site is located in Pune - political hub for western Maharashtra. The project is mainly divided into two parts-

- Accommodation - Guest suites

- Public areas –Conference and meeting hall facilities, Dining, Reception, VIP and visitor’s waiting areas etc.

Design is based on climate responsive architecture with passive strategies for thermal and visual comfort along with innovative active strategies to achieve energy efficient green building. The project has received GRIHA Five star rating.

Today architecture has become threat to our planet. One has to be conscious while using natural resources for any development on the earth.

Hence green and sustainable architecture is not just a trend but a lifesaving measure for our earth and so the sustainable green architecture is no more a distinction as a design concept. In fact it shall be the basic ethos for all the development.

Government buildings are normally perceived as menace to sustainability as they consume high energy because of basic lacuna in the planning and design. This project is an initiative to make Government buildings “Green and Energy Efficient” and to create awareness in the government sector.

Our focus here is to design a climate responsive building with passive strategies for thermal and visual comfort along with innovative active strategies to achieve energy efficient green building. 

We also believe that, “Architecture shall adhere to its time, the era, in which it is built.”

The contemporary architecture of this building has been derived from vernacular ethos. The shaded courtyard, which is the focal point of the building and passage around it leading to suites, is a highly contemporary version of the ‘old chowk’ of traditional Wadas of Pune with interiors and landscape seamlessly merging with architecture.

This project is designed following all passive strategies of planning, fenestration, zoning etc. 

Central shaded courtyard and spaces around it are well protected from sun yet allowing plenty of natural ventilation. The facade of the building responds to the orientation. Transition spaces play a key role in achieving thermal and visual comfort. Following table shows the details of energy efficiency achieved in terms of lighting, water, HVAC and materials.

10 POINTS OF GREEN STATUS

1. The project is Griha certified with 5 - star rating for green building.

2. The building design is completely based on solar passive, climate responsive architecture. All the areas are naturally day-lit and ventilated with optimized shading devices designed to control glare and heat gain achieving thermal and visual comfort.

3. The building envelope is a crucial element of green building, hence each facade in this building is designed taking into consideration its orientation and function. Vertical and horizontal Louvers have been used for south and west facade to cut the solar radiation.

4. 22 kW solar photo-voltaic renewable energy plant is designed to cater more than 30% of artificial lighting. 100 % outdoor lighting catered by renewable energy system 

5. Double glazed windows with low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient is used to minimize direct heat gain from the windows & to reduce air conditioning load. Highly efficient HVAC system (VRV) brings down the energy performance index (EPI) of the building. 

6. 52.81 % reduction in building energy performance index (EPI) is achieved in this design.

7. 90% of hot water demand is catered by heat pump based hot water system.

8. Efficient water fixtures have been used, resulting in 50% water conservation. Waste water has been utilized for landscape irrigation. 

9. Native & drought tolerant species with efficient irrigation system are proposed in landscape to minimize the water requirement for landscape. Irrigation water demand is reduced by 48% by the use of treated water from the STP installed on site. 

10. Building execution is done with all safety measures & procedures, innovative green construction techniques and effective air and noise pollution control measures.

Product Description. LOUVERS. In a hot-dry climate as that of Pune , creation of an apt second skin as the building envelope is one of the most critical factors for a sustainable approach. Similarly even in The Circuit House, this second skin ie, the louvers on the west and south façade of the building plays a very important role in limiting the amount of solar radiation and light admitted into the building. A combination of vertical and horizontal louvers has been adopted, each placed at precise angles, thus achieving thermal and visual comfort for the occupants. The reduction in solar radiation helps in limiting the heat gain hence reducing the load on air conditioning. Overall it helps in improving the energy performance of the building, and achieving green building status.

Examples of Climate responsive architecture in Indian cities

Nature is facing the brunt of human actions. The consequences of said actions have given rise to problems that affect the world of design either directly or indirectly. Climate change is one such issue. It is not a foreign concept as it is one of the greatest challenges faced by human society. Architects themselves have begun focusing on creating structures that have a lesser impact on the environment. Climate responsive architecture is one such design practice that functions in adherence to the climate of the location it is in. Its application in design reflects the weather conditions of the location the structure is built in and reduces its dependence on artificial energy.

India is home to a variety of climatic regions and has its own share of energy-efficient and climate responsive designs. The climate of India can be segregated into 6 climatic zones: Hot and Dry, Warm and Humid, Moderate, Cold and Sunny, Cold and Cloudy, and Composite. Based on the climatic zones, architecture and design elements have gone through various modifications to create comfortable spaces.

Here are a few interesting examples of climate-responsive architecture that is found in Indian cities.

1. Solar Passive Hostel, University of Jodhpur (Hot and Dry)

The structure was part of the research project undertaken by the Centre of Energy Studies, IIT Delhi. Designed by architect Vinod Gupta, the building was an attempt to test as well as exhibit methods that would provide thermal comfort in the hot and dry climate of Rajasthan. The building houses 14 double room suites as accommodation for married students. The suites are split between the first and ground floor, which is partially sunk into the ground to take advantage of the natural insulation of earth.

Stonemasonry, the local material was used for the walls as it helps balance out temperature variations. The roof was treated with small inverted terracotta pots to combat the summer heat gain. A wind tower that connected both floors supplied cool air to the units and helped aid ventilation by expelling hot air during the evenings and night. The design makes use of favorable orientation, massing, external finishes and elements such as deep sunshades to create a structure that not only conserves energy but also makes use of passive methods to the best of its ability.

2. Silent Valley, Kalasa (Warm and Humid)

Designed by architect K. Jaisim, the Silent Valley Resort is an eco-friendly holiday home that consists of several cottages that were constructed with a herbal theme. The resort fuses modern demands with ecological balance by creating a sustainable habitat with a minimum footprint. The cottages adopt circular plans as well as forms, which helps reduce solar gains from the building envelope and windows.

The usage of materials like solid mud blocks, timber, and Mangalore tiles as well as the position of the cottage i.e partially sunk into the ground further help in aiding energy efficiency. The resort merges with the natural landscape and adopts sustainable measures such as water harvesting, biomass, energy-intensive spaces, etc.

3. TERI SRC Building, Bangalore (Moderate)

The Energy and Resources Institute was designed by architect Sanjay Mohe. Set in a location with a moderate climate, the design depicts an interplay of the five elements of nature i.e. air, water, earth, sky, and fire (sun) with the built form to attain aural, thermal, and visual comfort. The simplest measure taken to tackle the climatic conditions was the orientation of the building, which is along the east-west axis.

While the building opens up towards the northern wall and takes advantage of glare-free light, the south walls allow the breeze to flow over the building. To minimize heat gain from the roof, insulation techniques that consisted of filler slabs and roof gardens were applied. The fenestrations and integration of atriums were designed after detailed studies to minimize the usage of artificial lighting in a day. The air chimneys help enhance the convection currents in the building. An efficient rainwater system also helps preserve water, which in turn is used for landscaping as well as in the toilets.

4. Degree College and Hill Council Complex, Leh (Cold and Sunny)

Designed by Arvind Kishan & Kunal Jain, the institution is built on a rectangular site that is along the north-south direction and is surrounded by snow-capped ranges on all sides. The individual structures are oriented in various directions and treated specifically based on their orientations. However, the buildings on the north side of the complex have thick walls to minimize heat loss and those on the south side maximize heating and daylight distribution.

The openings have been maximized to tap into natural light sources and the double glazing helps control loss of heat without condensation. Ventilation is achieved through a connective loop activated by buoyancy and it is also coupled with cross ventilation through the eastern-western fenestration. The usage of Trombe walls, glass, and insulation on the roof allows the building to attain internal thermal comfort based on the conditions outside.

5. Residence of Mohini Mullick, Nainital (Cold and Cloudy)

The residence is an example of traditional hill architecture and maximizes solar energy to meet its operational needs. The structure is load-bearing in nature and has a timber-framed roof. While the compact shape of the cottage reduces heat loss, the living spaces on the south maximize solar gain. The walls are made of thick random rubble. The roof system is clad with local stone and insulated with rock wool.

6. Monama House, Hyderabad (Composite)

The underlying ideology behind the design was to generate minimum environmental impact. Due to the high solar radiation and ambient temperature in the summer, the windows on the west wall were made smaller or replaced with other solutions. The openings are oriented specifically to attain continuous ventilation after careful consideration of pressure differences and wind direction.

The open plan allows full movement of air throughout with little to no internal resistance. Evaporative cooling is attained with a system that consists of a water pond and a fan. The structure also reduces energy load whenever possible, and reverts to renewable sources to attain energy efficiency.

With a notebook and pen in her bag and an arsenal of questions in her mind, Arathi Biju has always had a keen interest in telling a story. Currently pursuing her degree in architecture, she has always been a strong advocate of expression be it through art, architecture or words.
