Vinutha Bai N, R.Ravindra

Abstract: Green Building encompasses a wide range of design practices, building systems integration, product specification, and construction techniques Green building approach is consistent with the mission of most affordable housing developers, and the most community development corporation mission statements which include language about ensuring that low income people have access to safe, decent and affordable housing Generally, affordable housing projects utilize readily available, low-to medium-cost materials and systems. Customs products, such as cast-in-place recycled glass terrazzo or elaborate energy system approaches, displacement ventilation, or double-glazed facades, which are found in commercial buildings or custom residential projects, are not usually considered because of detrimental environmental problems. The challenge is to identify opportunities for innovation through the integration of good architectural and mechanical system design with thoughtful and strategic selection of materials, appliances, lighting, and equipment. The paper discusses the various energy efficient and green technology concepts that can be implemented for various structures
