Green Building: a sustainable tool for effective planning
The increasing urban development and thus increase in urban population to more than 600 millions by 2031 as per the United nation’s Report will surely put an additional burden on the urban economy, natural and social environment. The increase of around 40% population will have to survive with the available natural environment (Air, Water, Soil) per capita, which will be decreasing for obvious reasons. The rapid urbanization has resulted in the environment degradation and production of huge amount of toxic waste, which has been a great cause of concerns in planning and management of urban quality lifestyle. The Building and Construction Sector for example contributes around 10 % or the total GDP and has been an important sector for Indian economy. There is an urgent need for policy based initiatives and a responsible stakeholders approach towards tackling the issue of mitigating the ill impacts on the environment. The Green Building Practice provides a solution and key towards a sustainable performance based development. The resources efficiency viz. energy, water and materials are taken in special consideration in process of reducing the building impacts on human health and environment.
