World Nature Conservation Day: Preserve Nature to Protect Mankind

Green Building

Green buildings are intentionally constructed to ensure efficient energy utilization, regardless of the prevailing internal and external conditions. The adoption of an innovative energy-saving regime results in reduced consumption levels while promoting a harmonious ecological balance. In addition, these advanced technologies increase the property's value proposition as they remain a highly coveted option for building ownership or tenancy considerations.

The Green Buildings eliminates the impacts of harmful materials on buildings, on a pure tranquil environment, and it safeguards nature without compromising the level of comfort and luxury. The dwellers of such buildings get a cleaner, greener ,and better environment to lead a profitable and productive economy by working more efficiently.

“If you design a house that is energy efficient and uses rainwater harvesting it will provide better returns in the long run”, - Chitra Bishwanath, Architect.

Further she adds, “the future of architecture lies in a few factors such as becoming ecologically sensitive, which can integrate water, waste, food, energy, and biodiversity”.

Few conservation architects like Brinda Somaya, Anupama Kundoo, Shabnam Gupta, Chitra Bishwanath, along with, famous builders of South India like Prestige, Sobha, Embassy are incorporating sustainable materials to design a building, where their sole ideas are focusing to embrace the Environmental, Social and governance agenda (ESG) to write their future in secure words where environmental responsibility, social welfare and ethical practices co-exist peacefully.

“Architecture for me is about connecting and creating spaces between the Earth & Human”, - Brinda Somaya, Architect.

Components of Green Architecture

Architects and interior designers are placing a keen emphasis on incorporating eco-friendly materials that can be utilized to their maximum potential. These professionals are constantly devising innovative ideas that benefit construction efforts while maintaining the visual appeal of every space they work with. Precise research is required before any concept comes into fruition as failed attempts could lead to significant expenses; therefore, it's crucial for them to adopt a trial-and-error approach in all initiatives taken towards sustainability.

Few of the Important Components of Green Buildings are-

Energy Efficiency: It is essential to employ renewable alternatives like solar or wind power as a primary approach. Several renowned builders now leverage photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy not just for generating electrical power but also as heat controls; they use these installations exclusively as their home water heating system. In line with this trend towards eco-friendliness, buyers willingly invest more into environmentally friendly designs when creating homes. Interior designers have been utilizing techniques such as light-colored paints on walls and extensive windows providing natural lighting options which allows even wider diffusion from concave mirrors placed strategically around multiple areas inside rooms, a cost-effective move trending lately while lowering dependence on electrically powered elements, benefitting both consumers' finances and our planet's ecology overall.

Water Resource Management: Conservation of water plays a significant role in sustainable architecture. Contemporary world has already witnessed an emerging level of water scarcity. So every drop of water matters. Owing to such situation architects and designers are coming up with marvelous techniques and introducing them in their construction. One such technique is rain water harvesting, wastewater treatment plan.  The buildings are equipped with rooftop water collection. They are using intelligent tactics to collect the rain water and then purify it and make it usable for the dwellers and alongside they are nurturing the communities and ecosystem.
