Terminology
• Sustainable Building = Green building = Green construction
refers to a structure and using process that is
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient
throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design,
construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
demolition.
practice expands and complements the classical building
design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort

What is a Green Building?
• 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 environmental degradation

Objective
• 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 environmental degradation

Life cycle assessment (LCA)
• A life cycle assessment (LCA) can help avoid a narrow
outlook on environmental, social and economic concerns by
assessing a full range of impacts associated with all cradle-
to-grave stages of a process: from extraction of raw
materials through materials processing, manufacture,
distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or
recycling. Impacts taken into account include (among
others) embodied energy, global warming potential,
resource use, air pollution, water pollution, and waste.

The main stages for LCA:
• Raw material extraction
• Material processing
• Design
• Manufacture
• Distribution
• Use
• Repair/maintenance
• Disposal

Factor for LCA:
• Raw Material use
• Water use
• Energy use
• Waste production
• Waste disposal (air, land, water)
• Transportation steps

Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED)
• In 1998, the Washington, D.C., trade association U.S.
Green Building Council developed the LEED certification
which has become the authority for builders who want to
work with the environment.
• The regulations are designed so that construction is healthy
and durable for the occupants and the environment.

Steps to Sustainable building
• Sitting/location
• Energy/ water efficiency
• Natural lighting/heating
• Indoor environmental quality
• Recycled/renewable materials
• Solar/wind power

Capacity Index
• 2009 - RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors)
• Global Zero Carbon Capacity Index.
• The index measures energy efficiency in households,
offices and domestic transport as well as investment in
renewable energy and introduction of policy packages to
reduce carbon consumption within the built environment.
