So what makes something "green"?

The concepts about green architecture can generally:

Be organized into several areas of application.These areas include sustainability,materials,energy efficiency,land use,and waste reduction.

1:sustainability:Green buildings are

Not only be designed for apresent use,but consideration is also be given to future uses as well.

materials: Green design reduces the dependence on resource intensive and materials.

Energy Efficiency:another important aspects of green architecture is the integration of energy efficient mechanical systems and conservation methods

Land use :site selection and building orientation also play a critical role in green design.

Waste reduction:the ideal create no waste either during construction or use,so the impact on the environmnet and resources is minimized

Green architecture includes conservation and efficient use of natural resources as also the use of indigenous and recycled material to optimizing the fiances.

GREEN Architecture literally an approch to get MUCH More WITH MUCH LESS.
