The traditional buildings or houses in India were great architectural example as far as energy efficiency is concerned, since various native features used to be incorporated. The thick walls used to act as insulators. Buildings in hot and dry geographical regions had corridors directing wind to cool naturally. For wet regions, natural light and breeze were used (Business Standard, March 2010). Hawa Mahal or palace of Winds or Palace of Breeze in Jaipur, India is one the magnificent structures with articulated windows that provide cool breeze in a desert area and Golkanda where ventilation is designed to let in fresh cool breeze in spite of summer. The recent concrete construction lacks environment friendly design. With its expansive growth, building and construction sector has a significant impact on environment and available resources. “More than 62% decline in the availability of natural resources has been observed in last 4 decades. The Real Estate sector has been one of the major energy consumer and emitter of green house gases (GHGs). The sector has more than 50% share of resources, also accounts for more than one third waste generation worldwide.” observed by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Study 2005. The increase in urban pockets development and population makes it very challenging. The particulate matters and the other hazardous substances used and emitted during construction activities contribute the environment degradation. The non recyclable materials such as mercury, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, hazardous waste and lead based paints etc. poses serious threats on environment as well as health.
