Green Building System

Green Building is the practice of increasing the efficiency while ensuring healthy indoor environment for the buildings by minimizing their use of power, water, and materials, thus reducing building impact on the environment and on the limited resources of the planet, through better site selection, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling - the complete building life cycle.

A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other commonly used terms include sustainable design and green architecture; however, while good design is essential to green building, the actual operation, maintenance, and ultimate disposal or deconstruction of the building also have very significant effect on buildings' overall environmental impact.

Green buildings are scored by rating systems, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, Green Globes from GBI and other locally developed rating systems.

Companies as diverse as Bank of America, IBM, Toyota, Nokia, ITC, Wipro, Maytas, K Raheja Group, Lodha Builders are constructing or have already moved into green buildings.
