Buildings that are "GREEN & HEALTHY"

The term "green building" refers to a structure as well as the use of methods that are resource- and environmentally-conscious throughout the whole life-cycle of a building, from planning to design to construction to operation to maintenance to renovation to demolition.

The term "healthy buildings" designates a developing field of study that promotes people's physical, psychological, and social health and well-being in structures and the built environment.

Why go green when building?

The built environment significantly impacts the natural environment, people's health, and the economy. We can maximize both economic and environmental performance by using green buildingS techniques. Buildings can use green construction techniques at any step, from design and construction to repair and deconstruction. However, tremendous benefits can be realised if the design and construction teams adopt an integrated strategy from the beginning of a building project. Green construction may have the following advantages:

Environmental advantages:
• Promote and safeguard ...
... ecosystems and biodiversity
• Enhance the quality of the air and water
• decrease waste streams
• Preserve and replenish natural resources

Economic advantages
• Create, develop, and influence markets for green goods and
services
• decrease operational costs
• Boost life-cycle economic performance
• Increase occupant productivity

Social advantages
• Improve tenant health and comfort
• Heighten the visual appeal
• Lessen the burden on the community's infrastructure
• Raise the standard of living in general

Why is it crucial to have a Green Building Certification?

A green building certification demonstrates that a structure has complied with environmental, energy, human health, and other requirements in the development, construction, and operation.

Indian Certification for Green Buildings:

The most well-known certification bodies in India are the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). These organisations certify buildings under these designations.

As green building consultants in India, Agile Advisors offer facilitation services to projects seeking certification under the IGBC, LEED, GRIHA, WELL, EDGE, and other grading systems. The most effective approach to show that a project has taken genuine "green" design and initiative steps is through certification. Our strategy is to work with the project team to create a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable building that offers its occupants a place to live and work in a healthy and productive atmosphere. The certification verifies that the building's structure and design adhere to the necessary environmental best practices and regulations.
