Green Building Concept- An Overview

The traditionally made apartments and houses can be harmful to our environment as they are a source of greenhouse gas emissions and this may take several years to reduce the harmful impact they may cause to the earth’s ozone layer, maybe 100 or more years.

Keeping in mind the increasing pollution level in metropolitan cities like Kolkata due to the greenhouse gas emissions and waste production by the traditionally constructed buildings, top real estate builders in Kolkata such as Rajwada Group, and Srijan Realty is emphasizing the "Green Building Concept". The Green Building concept is all about constructing a building or an apartment with sustainable products that will cause no harm to the environment.

What are the benefits of the green building:

• Causing minimum or no environmental pollution

• Minimize the use of non-renewable resources that are depleting day by day

• Efficient use of water, land, electricity etc

• Creating a healthy indoor environment for the residents of the green buildings

Green Building Features:

• One of the significant features of green building is to effectively use the resources to reduce environmental pollution. The green buildings are constructed in a way that helps in reducing harmful carbon emissions; Most of the green buildings use rainwater harvesting techniques, solar panels for producing electricity etc to effectively utilize the resources. The residential projects built by the Rajwada Group, Srijan Realty, Siddha Group have rainwater harvesting techniques.

• Most of the green buildings are constructed amidst Nature so that the residents can remain close to Nature and inhale fresh and pure air that is good for their health. Also, greeneries give our eyes a beautiful and soothing feeling. Most of the residential projects of Rajwada Group, Siddha Group etc are located in serene areas of Narendrapur, Kamalgazi, and Rathtala near E.M Bypass in South Kolkata and are surrounded by lush greeneries.

• While constructing green buildings emphasis is given to the use of renewable resources such as bricks, lime mortar, timber etc

• The residents of the green building are also taught how to reuse, and recycle things and are encouraged to go green and follow a sustainable lifestyle that will help them lead a healthy and hearty life and cause no harm to the environment.
