Exploitation of nature and natural resources is not a recent activity, it is from the days when man first started building his house with the help of bamboo trees and coconut leaves to protect himself from sun and rain. Apart from killing the trees he also disturbed the natural habitat of the insects, animals and birds in those trees and interfered in the cycles of nature. That was a beginning of exploitation of mother nature.
The damage which is going around now-a-days is beyond imagination. The construction of various types of buildings using sand and water from the rivers, stones from the mountains, cement manufactured from the ingredients dug from the land and also carbon emission from the buildings and manufacture of construction materials warm up the air and space and exploited the natural resources to large extent.
After getting conscious about the environment and understanding their environmental responsibilities, people came up with a innovative concept known as GREEN BUILDINGS.
The concept of green building shows us the new approach to save water, energy and material resources in the construction and maintenance of the buildings and also eliminates the adverse impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.
Go Green, Save Mother Nature
By preferring Green Building over a conventional building we help this planet earth and the people to retain nature to a maximum extent possible in three ways with reference to the location of the buildings.
1. Retain the external environment at the location of the building.
2. Improve internal environment for the occupants
3. Preserve the environment at places far away from the building
Green buildings are designed to have a longer life-cycle, and help conserve natural resources like water, while consuming minimal power and energy.
Although the initial investment on green building 4-5 percent costlier than conventional buildings but in the long run the return on investment will be very high. Indian developers are realizing it fast and interest is increasing.
When we come to the electrical aspect of green buildings the sensors such as occupancy sensors, motion sensors etc. play a very important role. They are very convenient for conserving energy to a considerable amount. They are the latest features of energy conservation equipments.
