INTRODUCTION TO GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS:
Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather than non-renewable
resources. Green materials are environmentally responsible because impacts are
considered over the life of the product. Depending upon project-specific goals, an
assessment of green materials may involve an evaluation of one or more of the
criteria listed below. Sustainable materials are used throughout our consumer and
industrial economy that can be produced in required volumes without depleting non-
renewable resources and key natural resource systems.
In India tremendous environmental problems are arising in construction industry due

to rapid urbanization. Increase in demand of residential dwelling units which leads
to consume more energy, resources, raw materials which are responsible for the rise
in the carbon footprint. All metros are already facing environmental impact issues
such as change in weather pattern, destruction of ecology.
The solution lies in the sustainable development use of sustainable materials &
technologies. Sustainable development is the one which meets the needs of present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
This paper elaborates the concept of sustainable development. This development is
achievable through use of sustainable construction materials & technology.
AIM:
• Aim of this dissertation is to study materials for sustainable construction and
make an eco-friendly environment.
• To make a structure or building that’s suits in any environment, ecofriendly,
having green building concept.
OBJECTIVES:
• To study about the different type of Green building materials.
• To study about how to make a building sustainable.
• To study the Material selection criteria.
• To study how to make a building environment friendly.
• To understand the concept of Green Building Construction.
• To understand the difference between Normal Building and Green Building.
• To evaluate the different Green Building Construction Techniques.
• To study the property and use of various Green Building Construction materials.
• To analyse Green Building Construction.
PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY :
 Materials are the stuff of economic life in our industrial world.
 They include the resource inputs and the product outputs of industrial production.
 How we handle them is a major determinant of true economic efficiency, real
prosperity, social justice, our Personal health, and the health of the natural
environment.
 Materials are, moreover, far more than resources or products.
 How we relate to materials in their production and their consumption is one of the
best barometers of our fundamental relationship to that which gives
us life.
 Not Coincidentally, it reflects our relationship to ourselves, our
creativity, our work and possibilities for self-actualization and
community development.
 This dissertation is about building materials: about how we use them now,
how they might be used more appropriately, and the process of getting fromVitruvian
hereTripartite Model
to there.
 Our current use of materials is running down natural systems, destroying community,
debasing work, and suppressing all kinds of possibilities for real development.
 To remedy this, we need to conserve materials, reduce their unnecessary use,
produce them more benignly, make them last longer, and recycle and reuse them.
SCOPE :
 The Green building concept which is very cost efficient in various ways like light
bills, gas bills and water bills.
 Materials used in green construction are renewable and the materials remain in
excess are used for making different items like furniture etc.
 It is a method which uses natural materials, hence saving huge amount of energy
and depletion of resources.
 Looking at current environmental conditions, it is right time to start using green
construction rather than normal construction method.
 To understand the concept of sustainable development in its entirety, it is
imperative to begin with its scope.
 It focuses on the following, which encompasses underlying objectives like the
use of various resources, preservation, identification of sustainable sources,
sustainable usage etc.
 Planning of economic growth to ensure least environmental impact.
 Meeting current economic needs without compromising global environmental
conditions for the generations to follow.
NEED :
Architecture is an essential Arena for Green Building construction materials.
 Our homes are one of the most important assets of our lives. With the help of
Sustainable architecture, a green design can successfully meld beauty and
functionality together to save our planet from us.
 Increase of population day by day.
 People migrating from rural to urban with hope.
 Depletion of Natural resources.
 High energy and natural resources are consume
due to high population.
BASIC PRINCIPLES :
The basic principles of sustainable material and
constructions take into account the local climate,
choose the optimum orientation and take advantage
of the following factors,
 Solar energy for heating in winter
 Cool winds for natural ventilation and cooling in summer
 Natural light
 Thermal insulation
 Existing vegetation.
METHODOLOGY :
This methodology chart explains the first step, about the general information of
different materials and technology of Green Building conditions. This includes
the components of Sustainability, definition and its Services.
The next step is the study of sustainable design from various case studies.
Then the detail study is made for each aspects through different live case
study.
Finally the concept for the design is evolved, and progressed towards
developing the design.

GOALS OF GREEN BUILDING :
Energy Efficiency
Water Efficiency
Material Efficiency
Operation and maintenance optimization
Waste reduction
CONCEPT:
The “Green Building “building concept is gaining importance in various countries,
including India. These are the buildings that ensure that waste is minimized at every
stage during the construction and operation of the building, resulting in low costs,
according to the experts in the technology.
The technique associate with the “Green Building” include measures to prevent
erosion of soil, rainwater harvesting, use of solar energy, preparation of usages of
water, recycling of waste water and use of world class energy efficient practices. A
similar concept is natural building, which is usually on smaller scale and tends to focus
on the use of natural materials that are available locally.
