Green Building-How does it work?

Posted: Sep 18, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

By Loknath Swain

 Now everyone is talking about "Green building" and "sustainable development" are the hottest terms in construction right now, but what do all mean, exactly? According to the popular analyze green building is "the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenanc­e and demolition" Proponents say that green building is not only environmentally friendly, but also healthier and more cost-efficient. So what is sustainable development? The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) defines it as development that ensures our use of resources and the environment but doesn't restrict their use by future generations.

There are many of green innovations beyond the home. Schools, corporates and hospitals are getting in on the green, which makes sense ecologically and economically. By improving air quality and temperature control and designing offices to increase natural light and open spaces, they get the bonus of happier, more productive workers. Corporate headquarters are also likely to go green because of the "environmental halo effect" -- when consumers choose a company because it's environmentally friendly.

For corporations, schools and hospitals, "green building" can entail anything from using waterless urinals to creating power . But homeowners who'd like to go green often don't have the big bucks that businesses do. There's a lot to consider, and the costs can make quite a difference in a home's budget. Homeowners can save cash by installing new energy-efficient light bulbs, but how "green" is it and how much "green" can it save? And who says what's green and what isn't?
